Through well-known figures in the Western world such as Ernesto Cardenal, the Sandinista National Liberation Front formed a worldwide network of solidarity committees in the mid-1970s. In Spain, through the newly appointed FSLN representative for southern Europe and the United Kingdom, Ángel Barrajón, solidarity committees began to be created across the country in 1978. In the early 1980s, the State Coordinating Office of Solidarity with Nicaragua was created, while others emerged within it as symbols of the various national sensibilities inside the Spanish state. The most important ones were the Basque Coordinating Committee of Internationalist Solidarity and the Catalan Coordinating Committee of Solidarity with Nicaragua. Through bibliography and documentary sources, this article seeks to address the importance of national and state politics in transnational networks.
