This magazine explain the con…troversy between the Galician surrealist painter Eugenio Fernández Granell -known as Eugenio F. Granell-, the Guatemalan Association of Students and Revolutionary Artists Association -AGEAR- and the Saker-ti Group ("dawn" in the Kakchiquel language) of Revolutionary Artists and Writers It shows how in a political conjuncture one can have the right to evaluate a political procedure that manifests itself in the medium term and not necessarily have it in the interpretation of a political conjuncture, that is, in a short time. It would be wrong to include people who, making alliances for reasons of national interest, did not necessarily act in accordance with the Stalinist behavior that he denounced as inherent to the Saketarians and end up relying on those who were anti-Communists, not because they were opponents. of Stalinism, but of any manifestation of socialist ideology. The analysis of the correspondence that Fernández Granell maintained between 1943 and 1955 with his POUM colleagues and with his mentor André Breton allows us to contextualize the political and cultural events that marked his stay in Guatemala and the ideological struggle that accompanied it. A struggle that transcended the borders of the country and that was framed not only in the international confrontation between Trotskyists and Communists, but also in that of the Cold War. An epistolary reading that leads, therefore, to clarify the artist's discourse on "the Guatemalan nightmare" by putting the role of its actors and their national experiences in context, since it is impossible to ignore the generational contrast, both ideologically and experientially, among those Spaniards marked by the experience and defeat of a civil war that turned out to be a watershed in world history and young Guatemalans, immersed in the enthusiasm of the Octobrine revolution that overthrew the dictatorship of General Jorge Ubico and that was soon a victim of interventionism North American.
