Ideology
editThe main points of the party platform were:
- Defence of the unity of Spain. Rejection of the Autonomous Regions.
- Respecting the "religious principles".
- Monarchism.
- Defense of social order. Opposition to class struggle.
- "Agrarian nationalism" and promoting cooperation and agricultural credit.
- Equitable taxation.
- Free elementary education and letting popular classes access to middle and upper education.
- Nationalization of health services and social assistance.

The ideological position of the PNE has been defined as "ultra-reactionary"[1] and traditionalist. In fact, in his last will, José María Albiñana asked his followers to join the Traditionalist Communion.[2]
