Resumo
En 1988 Chile se preparaba para un momento
trascendental en su futuro político. Según el calendario
marcado por la Constitución de 1980,
se produciría un plebiscito que iba a decidir el
modo que se iba a seguir hasta llegar a una futura
transición democrática. Las opciones pasaban por
un camino liderado por Augusto Pinochet a través
del voto del "sí", o la oportunidad de realizar
elecciones libres a través de la opción del "no". La
coalición de oposición a la dictadura analizó otras
experiencias políticas análogas de países que habían
atravesado recientemente un proceso político
similar. El modelo de transición política española
aparecía como un ejemplo en el que fijarse desde
Chile. Por su parte, España, a través del gobierno
socialista liderado por Felipe González y del resto
de partidos políticos del arco parlamentario, tomaron el plebiscito chileno como un proceso propio
del que consideraban tenían el deber de tutelar y
seguir con detenimiento. La sociedad española
tampoco quedó al margen de los sucesos que rodearon
al día del plebiscito. A través de diferentes
fuentes documentales el presente artículo muestra
la naturaleza de esta relación que aunó a los dos
contextos políticos explicando los porqués del
interés español en el proceso plebiscitario chileno.
In 1988, Chile was preparing for a crucial moment for his political future. According to the schedule set by the 1980 Constitution, there should be a plebiscite to decide how to design the transition to a democratic system. The options were a path led by Augusto Pinochet by voting 'yes', or the opportunity to hold free elections through the option of "no". The opposition to the dictatorship went through the observation of other political experiences with similarities to the Chilean case. The Spanish political transition model appeared as a suitable example for Chile. Meanwhile, from Spain, the socialist government led by Felipe González and with the support of other Spanish political parties, got involved in the Chilean plebiscite, as international observers, due to protect and follow the political process. The Spanish society, as well, did not feel apart from the Chilean historical moment. By combining different documentary sources, this article shows the nature of this relationship which brought together the two political contexts and explains the Spanish interest in the Chilean plebiscite.
