The socialists, unlike the anarchists, were in favor of entering parliaments and city councils, but although in theory universal (male) suffrage had existed since , voting control was in the hands of the civil government and mayors and was very difficult to avoid fraud. In Madrid in they managed to overcome the controls and three socialists, Pablo Iglesias , Rafael García Ormaechea and Largo Caballero were elected councilors. Corruption was so normalized in the corporation that the councilors publicly distributed works, positions and assignments among themselves and then distributed them to relatives and friends.
They had to work so hard that Caballero would say in his memoirs that the job of councilor was more difficult for him than that of Minister of Labor. Mayor Alberto Aguilera himself mocked Iglesias and Caballero and said: Gentlemen, certain customs must be C Level Executive List sacrificed, because the civil guard couple has entered the House! In the height of impudence, the councilors and officials demanded more money from those who asked them for some scam, alleging that the presence of the three socialist councilors increased their risk of being denounced. In they were on the verge of being attacked in the plenary session of the City Council for voting against a motion congratulating the Kings for having escaped unharmed on their wedding day from the attack committed by Mateo Morral in which there were more than twenty deaths.
The Mayor asked Iglesias to reason his position and he said that the socialists were against personal attacks but that the motion only congratulated the King without remembering the victims of Calle Mayor. One of the many times that Largo Caballero was imprisoned occurred during the events of the Tragic Week of Barcelona in When the socialists began to grow organically and electorally, the right launched a smear campaign accusing them of living like bourgeoisies. Several socialists built a small house next to the Dehesa de la Villa and Caballero also did so on Sort Street (current name). The house was modest, it was very far from the center and the tram had not yet reached there, but the newspapers accused him that the land was municipal property, something that was later denied by an Inspection.
