The second one, led by a key person, Santiago Casares Quiroga, led to the foundation of a new party, the ORGA, a common place where the republicanism met with nationalist ideas in a suggestive future project formed during the II Republic.
The direction of Casares Quiroga in the party was reinforced from then onwards, through the control of the party’s elites.
This was a movement characterized by its deep catholic nature, and by the unity of the nation as a whole, though it tried to adapt its postulates to the new times and to structure mass organizations, working within the very republican system in order to combat the reforms undertaken by the first national governments.

Observe, for example, the Prime Minister, Santiago Casares Quiroga.2 A rich man from Galicia in the north-west of Spain, he had spent much of his life calling for home rule for his own poor province, although the only advantage the gallegos3 could have gained from this would have been a better rail service.
In the early years of the republic, in 1931 and 1932, the eyes of Casares Quiroga (then minister of the interior) had appeared, to both friends and enemies, to burn in his small head like those of St Just.
Like Casares Quiroga, he was a native of Galicia; but also, like Casares, he lacked the dispassion for which that green region is celebrated.

 El líder republicano gallego D. Santiago Casares Quiroga
D. Santiago Casares Quiroga era hombre de la burguesía coruñesa y había pertenecido a un grupo republicano gallego (la «Federación Republicana Gallega»), luego integrado en la corriente republicana de centro-izquierda que acaudillaba Manuel Azaña, la «Izquierda Republicana».

The triumph of the coalition formed by Alejandro Lerroux's Radical Republican Party and the Confederación Española de Derechas Autónomas (CEDA) of José María Gil-Robles y Quiñones on November 19, 1933, caused him to temporarily withdraw from politics and return to literary activity.
The political distance lasted only a short while, and in 1934 he founded the Republican Left party, the fruit of the fusion of Acción Republicana with the Radical Socialist Republican Party, led by Marcelino Domingo, and the Organización Republicana Gallega Autónoma (ORGA) of Santiago Casares Quiroga.
