In the early 1930s the Integrists as a party and Sánchez Marco personally represented the most far-Right of the Spanish politics; there was no grouping standing more extreme to the Right. His public addresses fell only slightly short of open rebellion against the regime. He declared the Republic "daughter of a masonic plot", lambasted its secularist drive, especially expulsion of religious orders, measures against cardinal Segura and designs at obligatory secular education, and declared himself seeking to restore the glory of Spain in union between the Church and Monarchy. Sending numerous protest letters to various official bodies, as member of a Catholic deputation he was even admitted by president Alcala Zamora. It is not known whether he was anyhow engaged in the 1932 Sanjurjada, though in its aftermath he suffered brief detention in Pamplona.
