Abstract
This article analyses the stance of French public opinion to the cause of the Spanish exiles present in great numbers in France. Many of them fought alongside the French in the struggle against the Nazis, which earned them considerable goodwill. We analyse the evolution of this opinion throughout the years of theoretical isolation produced by the Franco regime, through to 1953. We examine the references to the Spanish exile in the six leading French newspapers during those years. The conclusions are that the internal French situation, international events and/or the ideological bias of each newspaper all influence attitudes towards the Spanish exile and the real support of French public opinion at that time.Downloads
