ESCRIG-ROSA, JOSEP. Images and representations of Spain in independent Mexico: a view from the official press (1821-1823). Hist. Caribe [online]. 2022, vol.17, n.40, pp.163-192.  Epub 26-Out-2022. ISSN 0122-8803.  https://doi.org/10.15648/hc.40.2022.3205.

This paper analyzes the discourse of the Gaceta Imperial de México, the government media, during the First Empire period. The objective is to identify the meanings of the negative image of Spain and its effect on the internal politics of the independent country. The period known in Spain as the Liberal Triennium (Trienio Lberal) was presented as an anarchic moment of civil war between liberals and counter-revolutionaries, as well as a stage aimed to end religion. This representation was useful to insist on the justice and moderation of Mexican independence, to criticize the supposed radical drift of Hispanic liberalism, and, in due course, to reinforce the position of Emperor Agustín de Iturbide.
