Los refugiados españoles de Octubre de 1934 en Maine-et-Loire. Xenofobia, prioridad presupuestaria y solidaridad

Abstract

This article focuses on the exile following the October 1934 events in the department of Maine -et -Loire, specifically in its capital, Angers, and the nearby town of Trelaze. Utilizing French primary sources - both departmental and local - and the limited existing bibliography, it sheds light on the political refugees, their challenges, and their survival strategies in exile with the support of leftist organizations and the Spanish immigrant community. The article also presents the response and discourse of French authorities and public opinion, who were generally opposed to the presence of these refugees.
