Abstract

This article reviews the sociopolitical and economical situation of Catalonia during the first years of Francoism, specially in Barcelona. It shows some examples of oposition against this regime, which led to the general strike of March, 1951. First of all, it studies the position of the textile industry businessmen and the economical and social situation at the late forties. It analyze the opposition to a «single party» politics in the first local elections of November, 1948, and the high abstention. It shows that the visit of Franco to Barcelona in an atmosphere of economical crisis failed to gain support for his regime. Finally, it explains how the general strike of March, 1951, marked a turning point in the crisis and it provoked a change in the policies of the government. The sources used in this research belong to the archives of the count of Fontanar.
