The **Progressive Republican Party** ([Spanish](/source/Spanish_language): *Partido Republicano Progresista*, PRP) was a Spanish political party created in 1880 by [Manuel Ruiz Zorrilla](/source/Manuel_Ruiz_Zorrilla).[1] Ruiz Zorrilla wrote his testament in January 1895 declaring his successor, and thus the reins of the party were passed to [José María Esquerdo](/source/Jos%C3%A9_Mar%C3%ADa_Esquerdo) upon Ruiz Zorrilla's death.[2] The latter helped to create the [Republican Union](/source/Republican_Union_(Spain%2C_1903)) in 1903.[3] Following the death of Esquerdo, the party dissolved in June 1912, integrating into the [Reformist Party](/source/Reformist_Party_(Spain)) of [Melquíades Álvarez](/source/Melqu%C3%ADades_%C3%81lvarez_(politician)) and [Gumersindo de Azcárate](/source/Gumersindo_de_Azc%C3%A1rate).[4][2]
