But the social pressure didn't change and there were strikes and revolts. In 1934 the Civil Army ( Guàrdia Civil ) killed some jornalers in Casas Viejas and this caused a new elections.

In this third occasion, the popular Front, a group of progressive parties, won and tried to return to the measures of 1931..but They couldn't because in Juliol of 1936 started the civil war after a Coup d'Etat.
