Pacifismo, antimilitarismo y libertad de expresión en Madrid (1984-1990): Radio Cero, la radio anti-OTAN

Abstract

During the decade of 1980 the struggle against the NATO was one of the main social mobilizations in Spain. Right after the victory of the PSOE in 1982 elections, the intensity of the struggle grew, adding new actors to the mobilization. Among them were the Comisión Anti-OTAN and Radio Cero, a free radio. In these pages we will attend to this radio station, and to how the antimilitarist and the freedom of speech struggles were linked in its daily praxis, seeing its development, how it implemented those fights and how it became a mean of ideological projection which put all those mobilizations in the public sphere.

KEYWORDS: Radio, social movements, social communication, freedom of speech.
