Abstract
Hace más de un siglo que el filósofo español Ortega y Gasset se aventuró, por un lado, a ver en el Partido Socialista Obrero Español (PSOE) el responsable de la europeización de España y, por otro, a señalar que en Europa estaría la clave de la modernización del país. En 1986, cuando España firmó la adhesión a la Comunidad Económica Europea, efectivamente, lo hizo con un ejecutivo socialista y desarrollando unas políticas modernizadoras que lograron no sólo insertar al país en organismos internacionales del más alto nivel sino, también, tener un papel relevante en el concierto de las democracias occidentales; algo que se le había negado durante demasiado tiempo. Independientemente de las habilidades predictivas del gran filósofo español, cabe hacerse varias preguntas; por ejemplo, por un lado, tratándose de un partido centenario, si los socialistas de los años ochenta utilizaron una tradición europeísta propia o crearon una nueva y, por otro, ya que son los hombres los que hacen la historia, qué influencias rodearon al líder de los ochenta a lanzar su acción política hacia Europa...
Over half a century ago, Spanish philosopher Ortega y Gasset ventured to predict, firstly, that the Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party (or PSOE after its initials in Spanish) would be responsible for the Europeanisation of Spain, and secondly, that Europe would be the key to the country’s modernisation process. In 1986, when Spain joined the European Economic Community, it did so under a socialist administration. At the same time it began developing policies aimed at modernisation that were successful not only at inserting the country into highlevel international organisms, but also in securing it a relevant role among Western democracies, something that had been denied it for too many years. The great Spanish philosopher’s predictive skills notwithstanding, several questions may arise here: for example, given the fact that the party had been founded over a hundred years before, did the socialists of the 1980s use their own Europeanist tradition or did they create a new one? Or, since it is people who make history, what influences motivated the party leader of the 1980s to direct his political action towards Europe?...
