El trabajo analiza la visita de Estado que Franco realizó al Portugal de Salazar, en octubre de 1949. Este viaje se preparó con fines propagandísticos para romper el aislamiento internacional de España y mejorar la imagen del caudillo en el exterior. Con la utilización de las perspectivas histórica, cuantitativa, cualitativa y comparativa se analiza este acontecimiento y las informaciones que proporcionaron dos diarios españoles (ABC y Arriba) y dos portugueses (Diário de Notícias y Diário da Manhã), sometidos a un potente sistema de censura y consignas. La investigación concluye que un formidable aparato propagandístico convirtió este acto en un éxito. Para este fin, se recuperó y revitalizó el arsenal mitológico creado por el régimen desde la misma Guerra Civil. En el nuevo contexto de la Guerra Fría, el caudillo apareció como un adelantado a su época por haber frenado al comunismo desde el 18 de julio de 1936. Franco in Portugal: The Revitalisation of Franquist Myths in Order to Break International Barriers This study analyses Franco’s state visit to Salazar’s Portugal in October 1949. This visit was organized with the propagandist aim of improving Franco’s international image and thus breaking Spain’s isolation. This event is analysed using historical, quantitative, qualitative and comparative perspectives to assess two Spanish (ABC and Arriba) and two Portuguese (Diário de Notícias and Diário da Manhã) daily newspapers, all subject to strong censorship mechanisms. This study concludes that a formidable propagandistic structure made a success out of the visit. To this end, the arsenal of myths created by the regime from the time of the Spanish Civil War was recovered and revitalised. In the new context of the Cold War, Franco was seen as a leader who was ahead of his time for having put an end to communism on July 18, 1936.Downloads
