Republicanos españoles en América latina durante el franquismo: historia, temas y escenarios., 2021

Thus, for example, the Argentine writer and essayist, Ezequiel Martínez Estrada, considered them as a sort of second-class strongmen in a "gallery of greater criminals", always behind Hitler and Mussolini, tyrants with whom they shared, not only "contempt for intelligence ", but also, a taste for" the suggestive power of inarticulate languages ", which they cultivated with enormous assiduity and great political profit. Although both were lightly branded by their opponents as fascists and celebrated by their supporters as tenacious nationalists, they both presided over entirely different regimes, the former, one founded on passivity, terror, and resignation; the second, in popular mobilization and enthusiasm; while they gave their last names to political currents: Francoism and Peronism; the second still in force. The coincidences seem to end there: Franco was taciturn and pathologically shy; Perón, on the other hand, had a singular charm and charisma.

The Brazilian president's denial of the dangers of the disease, his contempt for science and his authoritarian drive largely explain the magnitude of the tragedy. A mood shared with both his American and British peers.
Resumen:
El artículo analiza la errática gestión de la pandemia del coronavirus por el gobierno de Jair Bolsonaro, desde que esta comenzara en Brasil a fines de febrero, hasta fines de junio, cuando dicho país alcanzó el segundo lugar en el ranking internacional de mayor de número de contagios y de víctimas fatales de esa enfermedad, sólo por detrás de Estados Unidos. El negacionismo del mandatario brasileño sobre los peligros de la enfermedad, su desprecio por la ciencia y su pulsión autoritaria explican en buena medida la magnitud de la tragedia. Talante compartido con sus pares norteamericano y británico.

El proceso que llevó a España de un régimen totalitario a una democracia parlamentaria constituye uno de los acontecimientos políticos más sobresalientes de la historia política contemporánea. Tanto por su resultado concreto-el desmantelamiento de la última dictadura europea occidental-como por la peculiaridad de su ejecución-la ruptura con el franquismo, pactada como reforma entre un gobierno emanado de la propia clase política del antiguo régimen y la oposición histórica-podemos afirmar que el modelo de transición española ha sido único. En efecto, ha sido peculiar en la medida en que el desmantelamiento de la dictadura se llevó a cabo partiendo de los propios procedimientos normativos del régimen legal vigente; en la medida en que durante el proceso se transformó radicalmente dicha legalidad; y en que se eligió esa vía indirecta con el fin de evitar el enfrentamiento con el aparato represivo de la dictadura.
The purpose of this essay is to study the process of the political transition to democracy in Spain. The process that led Spain from a totalitarian regime to a parliamentary democracy is one of the most outstanding political events in contemporary political history. Both for its concrete result-the dismantling of the last Western European dictatorship-and for the peculiarity of its execution-the rupture with the Franco regime, agreed as a reform between a government emanating from the political class of the old regime and the historical opposition-we can affirm that the Spanish transition model has been unique. In effect, it has been peculiar insofar as the dismantling of the dictatorship was carried out starting from the own normative procedures of the current legal regime; to the extent that during the process that legality was radically transformed; and in that indirect way was chosen in order to avoid confrontation with the repressive apparatus of the dictatorship.

In that country they obtained, not only asylum, but the possibility of organizing themselves politically in freedom, and of constituting cultural institutions for the preservation of their culture. Within this contingent that fled the barbarism of Nazism, there were notable writers and distinguished artists, such as Anna Seghers, Ludwig Renn, Egon Erwin Kisch, and many others . While in Mexico they formed the Freies Deutschland in Mexiko organisation that sought to conter the propaganda activities of the Nazi Ausland Organisation, The apex of their endeavours came with the publication in 1943 of The Black Book of the Nazi Terror in Europe, edited by Hannes Meyer, a collective collaboration of several intellectuals, artists and writers from all over the world, including Thomas Mann, Juan Rejano, Bodo Uhse, Leopoldo Méndez, etc, which denounced the atrocities of the Nazi regime.

Después de un comienzo sin incidentes y un desempeño meramente protocolario, le tocaría la circunstancia de presenciar el estallido de la Guerra Civil española y de dar asilo diplomático a enemigos señalados de la República española, gobierno aliado de aquel que lo había enviado.
After vieing with Lázaro Cárdenas for the Mexican Presidency, and having lost the candidacy of the National Revolutionary Party in 1934, Pérez Treviño was sent by Cárdenas as ambassador to Spain the following year, in a sort of golden exile to keep him away from the country. After an uneventful start, and a merely protocolary performance, he would face the paradox of witnessing the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War, and of granting diplomatic asylum to declared enemies of the Spanish Republic, a close ally to the government which had sent him as envoy.

Sin demérito de Cárdenas, se postula que, ante la República, México mantuvo una postura coherente desde su establecimiento hasta su trágica caída, inteligible como una auténtica política de Estado. Dicha actitud permitió a México comunicar su defensa de la no-intervención, la autodeterminación y la indisolubilidad territorial de las naciones, en busca de un orden mundial más justo y la defensa jurídica contra la agresión imperialista. Así, la actitud mexicana hacia España fue consecuencia natural de la larga experiencia histórica mexicana con las intervenciones externas. Abstract The reception given to the Spanish exile in Mexico has been studied as an isolated event and as a personal gesture of Lázaro Cárdenas, and not as a corollary of a policy pursued consistently since 1931. Without lessening Cárdenas role, we claim that Mexico sustained a coherent position with regard to the Republic, since its establishment until its tragic fall that may be understood as a State policy. This attitude allowed Mexico to communicate its defense of non-intervention, self-determination and the indissolubility of the territorial integrity of nations, in search of a fairer world order and the legal defense against imperialist aggression. Hence, the Mexican attitude toward Spain was a natural consequence of Mexico's long historical experience with external interventions.

Based on first-hand diplomatic, political and journalistic sources, most unpublished, Mexico and ... more Based on first-hand diplomatic, political and journalistic sources, most unpublished, Mexico and the Spanish Civil War investigates the backing of the Second Republic by Mexico during the Spanish Civil War. Significant military, material and financial aid was given by the government of Lázaro Cárdenas (1934–1940) to the Republic, which involved not only direct sales of arms, but also smuggling operations covertly undertaken by Mexican diplomatic agents in order to circumvent the embargo imposed by the London Committee of Non Intervention.
This path-breaking account reveals the operations in Spain of Mexican workers, soldiers, artists and intellectuals – such as later Nobel Laureate Octavio Paz and the Muralist David Alfaro Siqueiros – as volunteers and propagandists for the Republican cause. Engagement with the Spanish Civil War also had a profound impact upon Mexico’s domestic politics as support for the Republic was equated by Cárdenas with his own revolutionary project. The defeat of the Republic in 1939 therefore had far-reaching repercussions for the post-1940 governments. Originally published to critical acclaim in Spanish, the work has been quoted and reviewed by many leading specialists on the Civil War, including Anthony Beevor, Ángel Viñas, Santos Juliá, and Pedro Pérez Herrero. This book is essential reading for students and scholars specializing in contemporary European history and politics, Latin American studies, and all those with an interest in the Spanish Civil War and the Mexican Revolution.

Fue una era de un fuerte sentimiento nacional, solidario y optimista. El indicador más importante fue la integración de campesinos y trabajadores en una ideología social conciliadora que dio vida a un orden corporativo que, a su vez, organizó desde el gobierno y el Estado a los sectores sociales. Tuvo lugar una movilización cultural sin precedentes con la creación de nuevas escuelas, publicaciones, universidades y teatros, y con el impulso del cine, la radio, la pintura y la música. La política internacional defendió la autodeterminación de los pueblos y también a la España republicana en contra del poder dictatorial.
La colección América Latina en la Historia Contemporánea es uno de los proyectos editoriales más importantes de las últimas décadas y una aportación original y novedosa a la historiografía sobre América Latina en la que han participado más de 400 historiadores de diversos países. Presenta una visión plural y accesible de la historia contemporánea de las naciones latinoamericanas —incluyendo aquellas otras, europeas o americanas, que más han aportado a su materialización— y revela las claves políticas, sociales, económicas y culturales que han determinado su trayectoria y el lugar en el mundo que hoy ocupan.

ENGLISH: Between 1930 and 1960 the main dimensions of the present-day Mexico were consolidated . It was an era of strong national sentiment, supportive and optimistic. The most important indicator of the time was the integration of peasants and workers in a conciliatory social ideology, that gave birth to a corporate order, which, in turn, organized from the state and government the social sectors. There was an unprecedented cultural mobilization, through the creation of new schools, publications, universities and theaters, and with the momentum of film, radio, painting and music. Mexican diplomacy championed the self-determination of peoples as well as Republican Spain against dictatorial power.,
The Latin American Contemporary History Collection is one of the most important publishing projects of recent decades, and a new and original contribution to the historiography on Latin America, in which more than 400 historians from different countries have participated. It presents a plural and accessible contemporary history of Latin American nations, including those other, European or American, that have contributed to its realization, and reveals the key political, social, economic and cultural factors that have determined its trajectory and place in the world.

The book analyses the rationale behind Lázaro Cárdenas’s government decision to provide the Spanish Republic with military, diplomatic and moral support during the Civil War .
Mexico sent Spain weapons and supplies when other nations refused to do so, held back by the Non-Intervention Pact. Added to that, Mexican diplomats organised a secret network to buy arms in third countries and, from there, send them to Spain."

El gobierno capitalino se muestra incapaz de imponer el Estado de derecho para la sociabilidad armónica, en los temas más básicos y cotidianos como el tráfico, la basura, la apropiación de espacios públicos por ambulantes, franeleros, empresas de publicidad y sus “espectaculares”, el cerco de calles por vecinos, los bloqueos de vías de comunicación, etc. Tal abdicación del gobierno para imponer la ley ante las “pequeñas” faltas crea el entorno propicio para los grandes crímenes, como lavado de dinero,<br />coyotaje, adulteración de bebidas y medicamentos, contrabando, reventa, cierre de carreteras, etc. De suerte<br />tal que, puede afirmarse, que años de negligencia y simulación en la aplicación de la ley, han llevado al Gobierno del Distrito ...

En outre, il met en lumiere les relations diplomatiques officielles et les echanges politiques, economiques et culturels, que les deux gouvernements ont maintenus, dans la breve mais intense periode, dans laquelle ils ont coincide. Ainsi, il etablit que les politiques de nationalisation des secteurs strategiques de l’economie realisees par les deux gouvernements, ou de soutien apporte a l’evolution de la classe ouvriere dans leurs pays respectifs, constituent des points de convergence qui meritent d’etre etudies plus en detail.

En este artículo se analiza la evolución de las relaciones entre los Estados Unidos Mexicanos y el Reino de España desde su establecimiento en marzo de 1977, tras 40 años de inexistencia, hasta los gobiernos de Enrique Peña Nieto y Mariano Rajoy. El trabajo se basa predominantemente en fuentes primarias, en esencia hemerográficas, y busca ofrecer una visión panorámica de la relación bilateral a lo largo de cuatro décadas a través de la prensa. Se observa que, aunque la relación ha sido mutuamente beneficiosa, ha sido también asimétrica, pese al tamaño comparable de ambas economías y del peso internacional de ambas naciones. Se avanza la hipótesis de que los gobiernos mexicanos posteriores a la alternancia política del año 2000 asumieron una postura subordinada y condescendiente respecto a sus contrapartes españoles, reflejada en la falta de reciprocidad en un sinnúmero de cuestiones bilaterales, tales como inversiones, intercambios educativos y respeto a los asuntos internos del país, acaso motivados por preservar a toda costa un vínculo que, con justa razón, se considera estratégico.
Palabras clave: México, España, prensa, relaciones políticas, falta de reciprocidad, relaciones internacionales.
Abstract:
The article analyses the evolution of relations between the United Mexican States and the Kingdom of Spain, from its establishment in March 1977 after forty years of absence, to the governments of Enrique Peña Nieto and Mariano Rajoy. The work is based on primary sources, mainly journalistic, and seeks to offer a panoramic view of the bilateral relationship over four decades through the press. It is noted that, although the relationship has been mutually beneficial, it has also been asymmetric, despite the comparable size of both economies and the international weight of both nations. The hypothesis is put forward that the Mexican governments, after the political alternation of the year 2000, assumed a subordinate and condescending position regarding their Spanish counterparts, reflected in the lack of reciprocity in countless bilateral issues, such as investments, educational exchanges, and respect for the internal affairs of the country, motivated to preserve at all costs a link that, with good reason, is considered strategic.
Keywords:
Mexico; Spain; Press; Political Relations; Lack of Reciprocity.

El ensayo hace particular enfasis en la defensa que de la Republica Espanola hicieran los delegados mexicanos en el Foro de Ginebra durante la contienda civil iberica, frente a la farsa que supuso el llamado Comite de No Intervencion. Se plantea y desarrolla la hipotesis de que, mas alla de sus motivaciones ideologicas y de su fuerte simbolismo, el apoyo de Mexico a Espana sirvio al interes nacional al cimentar la alianza con el gobierno de Roosevelt ante la inminente guerra mundial.

The book analyses the rationale behind Lázaro Cárdenas’s government decision to provide the Spanish Republic with military, diplomatic and moral support during the Civil War . Mexico sent Spain weapons and supplies when other nations refused to do so, held back by the Non-Intervention Pact. Added to that, Mexican diplomats organised a secret network to buy arms in third countries and, from there, send them to Spain."

Several Mexican governments had withheld diplomatic recognition to the Francoist dictatorship since the end of the Spanish Civil War. From 1977 onwards, the bilateral link has intensified and become a special relationship for both parts.
