This article analyses the national discourse of Spanish socialism during the Second Republic and seeks to emphasise the Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party’s identification with a Spanish national identity. Furthermore, by considering the case of the Valencian Region (País Valenciano), it points to ways in which that identity was expressed, showing the role of the local and regional spheres in the socialist interpretation of national identity. In this way, the Valencian example enables us to explore the situation “from below”, by studying political approaches, speeches, rites and practices in the militant press. The article argues that the national discourse of Spanish socialism found a solid bond in the local context, while proletarian internationalism projected national identification towards the whole of Humanity. Despite the prominence of the local, national and international dimensions, the regional aspect appears more blurred in the Valencian case. In this regard, socialism provided a coherent framework for the combination of social, political and territorial identities.
