English abstract

This article analyses the process by which General Primo de Rivera attempted to gain a charismatic legitimacy once he took power in 1923. The paper takes a culturalist approach and explores the use of the dictatorship’s propaganda and ceremonies to foster the cult of Primo de Rivera. The study draws comparisons between the cults of Primo de Rivera, Benito Mussolini and Francisco Franco. The article concludes that many of the features used to create a charismatic legitimacy under Primo de Rivera were later employed by the Francoists in the making of a new myth of the patriotic leader.
