Entrevista al historiador Federico Finchelstein: Fascismo vs Populismo

Interview with Federico Finchelstein: "Vox, a Trumpist far-right party, is becoming normalized in Spain" His book explores the peculiarities of fascism and populism. It addresses the details that differentiate them. A healthy obsession with effectively defining two ideologies that are often confused at the street level led this historian to undertake in-depth research, the conclusions of which are expressed in his book "From Fascism to Populism in History." Federico Finchelstein asserts that there is no fascism without dictatorship, nor populism without elections. After World War II, starting in 1945, the democracies that emerged combined democratic foundations with elements of fascism, giving rise to populist authoritarian democracies; and on this point, Finchelstein cites the example of Peronism as the first populism to come to power. Populism, according to the historian, is "a way of thinking about and rebuilding democracy." In this sense, in the video/TV interview with Federico Finchelstein, we offer you, we propose analyzing the Spanish case, when after a dictatorship that lasted forty years, the Transition managed to accommodate Francoist elements within a democratic system studied as an example of pacification. Forty years later, the Argentine historian based in the United States analyzes the consequences of this unique formula in Europe; such as, for example, the ability of Spaniards to "normalize" populism, after the normalization of democratic coexistence with the Francoist legacy. We will not spoil the interview in this introduction, especially since no one better than the researcher himself is capable of developing the narrative that supports the argument of his research. However, we will emphasize that we have spared no time or questions in order to obtain the most information from the historian. "Trumpism," populist democracies, populism versus fascism, Vox, Podemos, the Spanish parties that call themselves "constitutionalist"—we analyze everything with the utmost objectivity alongside historian Federico Finchelstein in this video/TV interview that we offer below.
