Re: The American Ideology (none / 0)

As far as myth what impact does Zapatero have on the myth of Espana, una, grande, y libre when he confronts the historical legacy of the Civil War as Gonzalez never dared?

In time must the Transition and the subesequent adoption of European identity supplant the earlier myth?

Re: The American Ideology (none / 0)

I think the "two Spains" are quite alive, and that they have different myths about the Transition. Zapatero will have no effect in the part of Spain that still holds on to the Una, Grande, Libre myth, if anything he's forcing those still in the PSOE out of it.
