Abstract
The Socialist International was founded in its modern form in 1951, and was strongly committed to solidarity with people living under dictatorships. It therefore took a lively interest in underground Socialist movements in Franco’s Spain. It is the prime example of an international Socialist organisation consciously acting as an external actor in the struggle between Spanish democrats, and especially Socialists, and the dictatorship in the 1960s and 1970s. It is paradoxical that its particular interest in Spain was invited by the PSOE leadership in exile, yet it resulted in the international backing of the rival leadership of the underground inside Spain.
