Wednesday:
Within the series "From Dictatorship to Democracy", coordinated by the professor of contemporary history at the UAB Carme Molinero, the Faculty of Arts & Humanities will host the colloquium "Nusos opositors en la lluita contra la dictadura" [Opposition knots in the fight against the dictatorship]. The various papers of the conference will address the role of the anti-Franco opposition in the delegitimisation, questioning and crisis of Francoism, an activism that made it impossible to maintain the dictatorship. The colloquium is coordinated by Professor Molinero and Pere Ysàs, professor of contemporary history at the UAB, and will feature a series of presentations on the spaces of dissidence during the dictatorship, the role of communists and the “revolutionary left” in the democratic struggle, the renewal of nationalism, the reconstruction of the PSOE and anti-Francoist cultural expressions. The series is part of “Spain in Freedom. 50 Years”, a set of activities organised by the Spanish government throughout 2025 to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the death of dictator Francisco Franco and the beginning of the transition to a democratic regime.
