Abstract

In this article we analyze the Spanish reaction to the Chilean coup in 1973. By analyzing the first few months of the relationship with the Pinochet dictatorship we get into how Spanish diplomacy examined the coup, the interests in the area and how the Spanish society was affected by the failure of the "Chilean road to socialism". The coup in Chile served as a pretext for reflection on concepts such as dictatorship and democracy from the political and social standpoint. From this stance we can determine how civil society made progress on assimilating democratic practices and condemning new dictatorships. On the other hand, the analysis will help us to understand the international relations at the end of Franco´s dictatorship whose complexity went beyond mere ideological positions.
