Second Spanish Republic work together under the name Popular Front. The Popular Front won the election on 16 February with 263 MPs against 156 right-wing MPs, grouped within a coalition of the "National Front" with CEDA, Carlists, and Monarchists. The moderate centre parties virtually disappeared; between the elections, Lerroux's group fell from the 104 representatives it had in 1934 to just 9. In the following months, there was increasing violence between left and right. This helped the development of the fascist-inspired Falange Española, a National party led by José Antonio Primo de Rivera, the son of the former dictator, Miguel Primo de Rivera.
Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes Later on, after the Second Spanish Republic was proclaimed in 1931, it was again renamed as "Corts Catalanes". With the Francoist victory after the Civil War, its name was changed to "Avenida de José Antonio Primo de Rivera" in 1939. With the restoration of democracy, its name became "Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes" in 1979. The first line in the Barcelona metro system, built in the 1920s under the name "Gran Metro", covered the distance between Plaça Catalunya and Plaça Espanya, which is nowadays part of Line 1. There are several metro stations located on Gran Via nowadays. Lines
