	Spanish Socialist Workers' Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although the PSOE was rather weak during the late 1800s, its active participation in strikes from 1899 to 1902 and especially its electoral coalition with the main Republican parties led in 1910 to the election of Pablo Iglesias as the first Socialist representative in the Spanish Cortes.
		González was from the "reform" wing of the party, and his victory signaled a defeat for the historic and veteran wing of the Party.
		In 1977 PSOE became the official opposition party with 29.2% of the vote and 118 seats in the Parliament.

		Although the Socialists had gained support by presenting an image of moderation to the electorate, this stance was vehemently attacked by the more radical members of the party, who criticized Gonzalez and his supporters for placing more emphasis on gaining votes than they did on advancing the interests of the workers.
		The PCE convened its Twelfth Party Congress in February 1988 amid mounting agitation for a major revitalization of the party, which was plagued by financial problems and by a lack of unity.
		At the party congress in February 1987, Hernandez was chosen to head the AP, declaring that under his leadership the AP would become a "modern right-wing European party." But Hernandez lacked political experience at the national level, and the party continued to decline.

		González led the Socialists to a landslide victory in the 1982 parliamentary elections and became premier of Spain's first leftist government since the Spanish civil war.
		After a narrow victory in the 1993 elections he and his party lost the election of 1996 to the Popular party, and its head, José María Aznar, became prime minister.

		The Socialist Workers Party had a relatively minor faction fight at their 1971 national convention, with a pair of tendencies objecting to their focus on student organizing.
		Each of the Socialist Workers Party's actions in the 1970s were intended to continue the success they'd experienced during their anti-Vietnam War organizing; their 1975 convention resolution, "Prospects for Socialism," predicted increased periods of class struggle just as much of America was conservatizing.
		The Socialist Workers Party claimed he was the victim of a frame-up, instigated by the police in retaliation for his union activism at a local meat packing plant.

	The New Face of the Socialist International
		Finnish efforts were, by and large, fruitless, as most other parties of the SI were aware of the "special Finnish situation." But the result of the efforts of all three parties was a series of debates in SI meetings with the aim of achieving a uniform concept of detente within the organization.
		Although the Finnish and Swedish parties had maintained their dialogues with the CPSU for some years, the Finns much more intensively than the Swedes, it fell to the Belgian Socialist Party (PSB) to become the first in the SI to establish a formal cooperative relationship with the CPSU.
		The 1977 formal agreement for cooperation, later reaffirmed between the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party and the CPSU, was followed in 1979 by similar agreements between the CPSU and the Danish Social Democratic Party and Norwegian Labor Party.

		This document was written in 1935 by Santiago Carrillo (1916- ), the son of the prominent Socialist leader Wenceslao Carrillo, and then secretary of the 200,000 strong Socialist Youth of the PSOE (Spanish Socialist Workers Party).
		Their leaders were taken to be fêted in Moscow, and in June 1936 the Socialist Youth fused with the Communist Party’s youth organisation to give Spanish Stalinism a mass base in the country for the first time (in February 1936 there were less than 5,000 of them).

	Socialists gain amid massive rejection of Aznar's party : Voters reshape Spanish politics after terror strikes
		Spain's opposition Socialist Party unexpectedly seized the lead in general elections Sunday, amassing a comfortable number of seats in Parliament and positioned to hand a humiliating defeat to the governing conservative Popular Party.
		With more than 85 percent of the vote counted after the polls closed, the Socialists had gained enough votes to expand their share of Parliament seats from 125 to 164 while the Popular Party's share had dwindled from 183 seats to 148 in the 350-seat government body.
		While it was clear that the Socialists won more seats than the Popular Party, it was still not clear exactly how close they would be to a majority and how difficult it would be for the Socialists to find help in forming a coalition.

		That such an outfit has been able to establish itself as the party leadership in just three months, ousting virtually the entire leadership of a decades-old party with scarcely a murmur of opposition, points to the bankruptcy of the PSOE.
		The party lost the last elections, in spite of a last minute pact struck with the Communist Party-led Izquierda Unida (United Left), because of widespread abstentions amongst its working class supporters alienated by its pro-business policies.

	The great socialist experiment - Spain's cultural policy towards the arts Art in America - Find Articles
		When the Socialists (PSOE) came to power in Spain 13 years ago, there was great excitement over their plans to heal the deep psychic wounds inflicted by Gen. Francisco Franco's implacable hostility toward the avant-garde and his regime's nearly 40-year control and censorship of literature and the arts.
		Despite the intense involvement of the post-Franco Spanish press in cultural matters, little has been offered in the way of objective critique from that quarter, and frequently the facts themselves are in dispute, ff they are known at all.
		In part the Spanish art world's dissatisfaction mirrors the broader public's disillusionment with the Socialists' performance, as well as their disgust with a seemingly endless stream of scandals.
