Although the overthrow of the Francoist dictatorship was a shared aim, the Spanish Socialist and Communist parties were unable to reach the understanding necessary to create a political coalition against Franco until the very end of his regime. In contrast, in Catalonia, the Socialist Movement of Catalonia (MSC, in Catalan) and the Unified Socialist Party of Catalonia (PSUC, in Catalan) were able to overcome their animosity a few years before the death of the dictator – the Taula Rodona in 1966 was the first of a series of experiences. Only generational change within the leadership of the Socialist formations and a change of strategy within the Communist party made it possible to overcome the traumas of the Spanish Civil War and so permitted the beginning of an anti-Francoist collaboration. We used academic literature, and primary archival sources as well as the newssheet, Endavant, the mouthpiece of the MSC with the chronological framework of the MSC’s existence from its creation until its break-up: 1945-1966.

Los frentes del anticomunismo. Las derechas en el Uruguay de los tempranos sesenta
This article examines the responses of the political right in Uruguay during the crisis of the late 1950s and early 1960s, in the context of the Cold War conflict and increasing US interference. It analyzes how the activity and the discourse of the right worked in areas such as public education, the labor movement, political parties, and the government. Additionally, the article attempts to account for the internal diversity of the right wing movements, organizations and party factions. Although all of them shared certain commonalities they often diverged in their activity, their ideological baggage and their ties to the system of political parties.

Este artículo estudia la reacción anticomunista contra las formas incipientes de la nueva izquierda de principios de los sesenta. Analiza, en esta instancia, la influencia de la Revolución Cubana en la política doméstica. Las fuerzas anticomunistas percibieron la amenaza del “castrismo” como una infiltración multisectorial perpetrada a partir del gobierno de Arturo Frondizi (1958-1962), incluso en algunos de sus funcionarios y colaboradores. Sus huellas eran observadas en los protagonistas de la conflictividad política y social del periodo. Diversos representantes del establishment denunciaron la gravitación desestabilizadora de la Revolución sobre el gobierno y las disputas sociales, entre ellas, los grandes diarios, las fuerzas armadas, dirigentes empresariales, altos prelados de la iglesia y grupos específicos anticomunistas, ligados a organizaciones contrarrevolucionarias cubanas, apoyadas por las agencias de inteligencia de los Estados Unidos. Algunos interrogantes esperan ser ...

When a new kind of labour and student movements emerged on the 1950s, communists had to change their struggle strategy against Franco’s dictatorship. Work among the masses began to be more complex and the student’s front took prominence besides the workers’. During the 1960s the Spanish Communist Party (PCE, in its initials in Spanish) and the Unified Socialist Party of Catalonia (PSUC) made an effort to increase their influence beyond the Great Barcelona. This included sectors as farmworkers or women, focusing on the youth as a strategic mobilization front. They did it through the Communist Youth Union of Spain (UJCE) and, in Catalonia, the Catalan Communist Youth (JCC)
