RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 Pronunciamiento Republicano de O Porto, 1891: ¿Cómo sigue el enfermo?: Según la Prensa Española A1 Almuiña Fernández, Celso Jesús A2 Ediciones Universidad de Valladolid K1 Historia moderna y contemporánea AB Spain and Portugal have long ingored each other. Far too long. And yet, in spite of this traditional lack of official communication, as far as everyday life is concerned, any event that rocks one of the two Iberian societies has an immmediate impact on the other. It is not really a case of "parallel lives", but the ways in which Portugal & Spain have influenced each other are there for everybody to see. In 1891, the republican pronunciamiento that took place in northern Portugal, with Oporto as its focus, and which was on the brink of bringing down the Portuguese monarchy, was immediately and eagerly covered by the whole of the Spanish press, which not only reported about the facts, but also, interestingly enough, voiced widespread opinions about its causes and implications. Our conclusion is, first, that every Spanish newspaper, or rather every news group, reported about the pronunciamiento from their ideological standpoint & with their eyes set on the Spanish regime (the monarchy/republic dilemma) rather than on the neighbouring country, and, secondly, that a wide variety of opinions were offered, ranging from frustration (in the case of the republicans) at the failure of the pronunciamiento coupled with an inquiry into its causes, to satisfaction (in the case of the royalists) with the built-in subliminal message that the situation in Spain had nothing whatsoever to do with what was going on in Portugal.
