Catalan term or phrase: no va quallar
This is talking about the town of Reus in the Spanish Civil War.

"La sublevació militar del 18 de juliol de 1936 no va quallar a Reus, que va romandre al costat del govern legítim de la República."

My rough draft:
"The military uprising of 18 July 1936 did not succeed in Reus. It remained allied with the legitimate government of the Republic."
