Los motines de 1892 en Calahorra : la repercusión en la prensa nacional e internacional de un conflicto local

Abstract

This article presents the events that took place in the town of Calahorra, the head of the former diocese Calahorra-La Calzada, known as the riots of June and July 1892. Initially, they arose as a protest against the transfer of the bishop’s throne to the provincial capital, Logroño, to implement the concordat of 1851. The figure of Sagasta defended the interests of Logroño whereas cardinal Cascajares did so for Calahorra. The religious-like conflict became a political and social clash of such importance that seeped through the national and international press in a period of instability and disappointment in Spain caused by the political system of the Restoration.
