Sumario:In Uruguay, the year 1968 was marked by deep changes at the economic, political, occupational and educational levels, dividing the history of the country into two different periods. This year was when the most dissidence took place –on the fronts of politics, culture and values and behaviors–, and the debate on a possible socialist revolution in Uruguay became accentuated. The study of this particular year in Uruguay is part of the debate on conflict in the Hispanic world, related to the ‘Other’ and to ‘Power’, and to the emergence of ideological dissidence and policies that questioned the traditional Uruguayan orthodoxy totally controlled by the two traditional parties: the liberal ‘Colorado’ (or ‘batallismo’) and the conservative ‘Blanco’ (the National Party.) Finally, ‘the inside enemy’ notion also arose from the conflict. This notion was used as a justification to continue implementing an economy that increasingly depended on international and oligarchical interests as the population was progressively repressed. This led to the 1973 coup which caused a huge debt in terms of Human Rights that has not been paid off yet.
