Social and Political Victims Become the Founders of a New Democratic Civil Society under Dictatorial Rule

Resumo

With this paper I would like to contribute to the on-going re-evaluation of the role of the different agents of social and political change during the Democratisation process not only in Catalonia, but also in overall Spain. Re-evaluation, in which sometimes Democratisation of society, political change and institutional change are confounded. The anti-Francoist Movements in Barcelona, I will present here, are not anything new for the scientific community of the late Francoism and Democratic Change in Spain.However,  I ask you to read this article in the broader framework of this present re-evaluation of the contemporary Spanish history.
