In 1937, in the midst of the Spanish Civil War, the Traditionalist Spanish Phalanx and of the Councils of the National Syndicalist Offensive (FET-JONS), modeled on the Italian Fascist Party, became the sole party of the dictatorship of General Francisco Franco. In France, this conflict divides the Spanish immigrant populations and leads to strong social and professional polarization. The orange merchants and traders, for the most part, sided with Franco, until they became central to the French section of the Phalange during the Occupation.
