Yes, they nominally supported the Loyalists against the Fascist coup, especially since Communist movements were being brutally suppressed by the Fascists following the coup in 1936. But they also supported various factions at the expense of other groups, and their aid was in any event too little to defeat Franco's forces, who had substantial support from Germany and Italy.
