Details

Alberto Ruiz de Galarreta Mocoroa (1922 – 2019) was a Spanish historian. He is known mostly as the author of massive, 29-volume series titled Apuntes y documentos para la historia del tradicionalismo español. Written under the pen-name of "Manuel de Santa Cruz", it covers the history of Carlism between 1939 and 1966 and is considered a fundamental work of reference for any student of the movement in the Francoist era. Galarreta is also moderately recognized as a periodista, who contributed to numerous right-wing periodicals; for almost 40 years he was the moving spirit behind a Navarrese weekly/bi-weekly Siempre P'alante. He advanced the Traditionalist outlook highly saturated with Integrism; in particular, he was a vehement advocate of the religious unity of Spain. Politically he maintained a low profile, though he participated in Carlist cultural pursuits and a few times he wrote documents issued by the Carlist executive.
