Abstract

The Fellowship Foundation was born in the United States during the 1930s with apparent religious purposes, but the progressive support of international political and economic sectors gave this organization an obvious paradiplomatic character. Through the testimony of Alfonso Osorio, as well as the extensive documentation and correspondence deposited in his personal archive, I will try to analyze the influence of this Christian organization in our country, observing its importance during the democratic transition to be the period in which Osorio occupied higher political responsibilities. No obstante, fueron formándose pequeños grupos a través de la embajada americana y empresas como la Merril Lynch y, especialmente, la petrolera Standard Oil, ya que su representante en España, Paul Temple, fue el principal encargado de impulsar la organización en nuestro país. Lo especial de estas reuniones era su carácter reducido, pues no solían superar las treinta personas, entre las que se encontraban figuras como el propio Pierre Harmel; Poul Hartling, primer ministro danés; Alois Mock, jefe de la democracia cristiana austriaca; Gerhard Schröder, exministro alemán de Exteriores; Selwyn Lloyd, Speaker de la Cámara de los Comunes; o Joseph Fontanet, ministro de Educación francés18.
