The text that we present below is the prologue to the work In the origins of the Andalusian Party. The Andalusian path to democracy and autonomy: The founding manifesto of the Socialist Alliance of Andalusia , which the author José Luis Villar asked me to accompany the publication of the manuscript. We present the complete prologue of the work, introducing and inviting us to discover the work, published by Almuzara this year 2024.
This year, 2023, marked the 50th anniversary of many important events. Fifty years later we observe the first half of the turbulent decade of the seventies as a conjuncture of radical transformations in the contemporary world that had begun at the end of the sixties. Among other events, in 1973 the Founding Manifesto of the Socialist Alliance of Andalusia was published, the first political organization of AQB Directory Andalusism after the civil war, which inaugurated the Andalusism of the second wave (1965-2015) and founded the modern political Andalusism of the triad socialism, regionalism and democracy.
Thus was born the current of Andalusian democratic socialism that would collect the regionalist legacy of Blas Infante and that years later, in 1976, would give rise to the Socialist Party of Andalusia, and from 1984 to the Andalusian Party. The founding manifesto of the Socialist Alliance of Andalusia marked the emergence in Andalusia of a new political, intellectual and sociological space in tune with the transformations of the new left in Western Europe and internationally.
The emerging Andalusian movement emerged under the influence of the currents of new democratic socialism born in the sixties and seventies as a result of the university cultural revolution, anti-imperialism, opposition to the dictatorship and the reconstruction of the Andalusian regionalist project led by Blas Infante in the twenties and thirties of the 20th century.
Between 1968 and 1973, events occurred that would change the world forever: the Soviet invasion of Prague, the May uprising in Paris, the long Vietnam War, the impact of the Cuban revolution, Woodstock, the Chinese cultural revolution between 1966 and 1976, French poststructuralism, the Trincontinental Conference in Havana in 1967, the oil crisis of 1973, the governments of Allende's Popular Unity and the coup d'état.
All of them were events that forever transformed current culture and societies and gave rise, among other things, to the so-called new left. All these cultural and sociological changes also gave rise, at the beginning of the last third of the 20th century, to a series of political processes of national construction/liberation throughout Europe, with nations without sovereignty or popular subjects that found themselves in contexts of strong state oppression. , such as the Basque Country, Galicia, Catalonia, Sicily, Corsica, Sardinia, Brittany, Wales, Ireland or Scotland in Western Europe.
After the Second World War, due to the impact of the anti-colonial revolutions and the influence exerted by the Soviet bloc, the independence struggles of national minorities in Europe adopted a double ideological strategy. On the one hand, they assumed the fight for socialism and, on the other, they proposed the conquest of national sovereignty and the right to self-determination as a horizon of liberation.
