Passando a fronteira em tempos conturbados. Refugiados espanhóis em Portugal no decorrer da década de 1930

Abstract

This article intends to analyze the presence of Spanish refugees in Portugal during the 1930s. It seeks to understand the differences and similarities that characterized the various moments of arrival of refugees in the country, especially after 1931, following the establishment of the Second Republic in Spain, and between 1936 and 1939, in the contexto of the civil war. It also seeks to understand how the Salazar's regime reacted to each of them, taking into account the Iberian context of the period in question, which was highly troubled and marked by several changes in relations between countries, which influenced the way refugees were perceived in Portugal, namely the emergence of Iberian fascisms and the occurrence of the Spanish Civil War.
