New Political Mentalities in the Tardofranquismo

Abstract

The period known in Spanish as the tardofranquismo (a term that means the last stage of Francoism) are years of change and evolution inside as well as outside the regime. Change inside the regime, with the emergence of new political mentalities, started to unfold during the 1960s. The emergence and evolution of a reformist sector within the regime and its consolidation during the tardofranquismo are fundamental to understanding the contribution and positioning of the Francoist reformists during the crucial period of the transition to democracy. These reformists understood that their political future might well depend on a pact with the moderate opposition and it was therefore amongst these Francoists that the democratic opposition encountered regime interlocutors who were approachable and open to cooperation.
