EDVARD KOCBEK'S REFLECTION' ON SPAIN. (English)
- Abstract:
Due to the Spanish Civil War, the ideological conflicts in the Catholic circles became more distinct. The clerical part, particularly the Slovenec daily, which published biased articles on the Spanish Civil War in 1936 and 1937 with a special emphasis on condemning the rise of the popular front, understood the publication of Edvard Kocbek's essay as an attack on its views. Kocbek's purpose behind the Pondering was, however, to present a more balanced picture of the Spanish tragedy that was based on the reports by West European writers who favoured the Spanish republic. The Pondering was the central crystallising point that led to the final split in the Catholic circles, while at the same time stirring the left-wing political groups to start fighting for a common goal. But the main reason that it became the central crystallising point was the militant response by the right-wing Catholic group; the essay in itself would have otherwise been only considered a balanced representation of the situation in Spain, which were presented one-sidedly by the clerical press. This shows that political tensions on the territory of today's Slovenia had already reached their climax as early as a few years before the war, thus rendering a dialogue and a democratic compromise that could unite the Slovenians in a national defensive attitude impossible.

- Abstract:
Španska državljanska vojna je ideološka nasprotja v katoliškem taboru vsekakor zaostrila. Klerikalna stran, posebno dnevnik Slovenec, ki je leta 1936 in 1937 tendenciozno pisal o španski državljanski vojni s posebnim poudarkom na obsodbi ljudskofrontnega povezovanja, je objavo Kocbekovega eseja razumela kot napad na svoja stališča. Kocbekov namen s Premišljevanjem pa je bil podati bolj uravnoteženo sliko španske tragedije, pri čemer se je seveda posluževal poročil španski republiki naklonjenih piscev iz zahodne Evrope. Kocbekovo Premišljevanje je bilo osrednja kristalizacijska točka, ki je povzročila dokončen razkol katoliškega tabora pa tudi omogočila prebuditev levih političnih sil za skupen boj. Kristalizacijska točka pa je postalo predvsem zaradi militantnega odziva desnega katoliškega bloka, saj bi samo po sebi imelo le težo uravnotežujočega prikaza razmer v Španiji, ki jih je klerikalni tisk enostransko prikazoval. To pa kaže, kako so politične strasti na Slovenskem že nekaj let pred vojno dosegle vrelišče in možnosti za dialog in demokratični kompromis, ki bi Slovence poenotil v narodnoobrambni drži, ni bilo več.
