Abstract
Los sucesos ocurridos en Chile en septiembre de 1973 y la posición adoptada por los dirigentes democristianos chilenos tuvieron un enorme impacto entre sus homólogos extranjeros y, de manera especial, en sus correligionarios de España. Joaquín Ruiz-Giménez, máximo representante de los democristianos españoles, llegó incluso a cuestionar la posibilidad de mantenerse en dicho espectro ideológico después de lo ocurrido. Su posición no tardó en desencadenar una serie de tensiones y discrepancias internas que fracturaron a la democracia cristiana española y, con el tiempo, frustraron sus opciones políticas ante la democratización de la España posfranquista. A través de material inédito del archivo privado de Ruiz-Giménez, así como sus diarios personales, se trazará un recorrido histórico para comprender cómo los sucesos ocurridos en Chile pudieron tener tanta influencia en los democristianos españoles.
The events that occurred in Chile in September 1973 and the position adopted by the Chilean Christian Democrat leaders had an enormous impact on their foreign counterparts, especially on their Spanish religionist brethren. Joaquín Ruiz-Giménez, who was the highest representative of the Spanish Christian Democrats, would go so far as to question whether or not it was possible to maintain the same ideology after what happened in Chile. His position would soon unleash a series of internal tensions and discrepancies that would fracture Spanish Christian Democracy and, over time, frustrate his political aspirations during the democratization of post-Franco Spain. Through unpublished material from Ruiz-Giménez’s private archives, as well as his personal diaries, a historical journey will be traced to understand how the events that occurred in Chile could have had such an influence on the Spanish Christian Democrats.
