About this person
Felipe Sánchez-Román y Gallifa was a prominent Spanish jurist who taught at the Central University of Madrid from 1916 to 1936. He supported overthrow of the monarchist dictatorship of the 1920s, and was Deputy for Madrid in the Constituent Cortes of 1931. He was much respected for his balanced views by the political leaders of the Second Spanish Republic (1931-1939). In 1934 he founded the tiny but influential center-left Partido Nacional Republicano (PNR), and fought to avoid a republican government dominated by extreme left revolutionaries. After this happened in 1936 and the Spanish Civil War broke out he moved to France in 1937. In 1939 he went into exile in Mexico, where he taught at the UNAM Faculty of Law.
