Influencia y proyección del republicanismo de Nicolás Salmerón en la Argentina

Resumen

The different currents of Spanish republicanism between the end of the nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth century met with a new climate of dialogue, dense relations, and cultural approach between Spain and Argentina that involved political and intellectual elites, and groups of Spanish migrants. Among the three most representative tendencies of Spanish republicanism, in this paper we study the influence in Argentina of the position represented by Nicolás Salmerón, distinguished as liberal-progressive and reformist. The focus is on the perceptions of his political activity among the Argentine elites with special interest in the reactivation of his political thoughts by one of his followers who had migrated to Argentina in the last decade of the nineteenth century: Antonio Atienza y Medrano. Also, we investigate Salmerón's influence during the politicization of the Spanish collective in Argentina under the slogan of republican union, in the beginning of the twentieth century.
