The article traces the Europeanist parable of Enrique Tierno Galván, investigating the factors that have led, around 1976, to a flexing of his integrationist discourse and the formulation of a Mediterranean political proposal. Between these factors we can find the withdrawal of support by some international agents, the relations with PSOE, the influence of some international contacts, financing needs, and the identity redefinition process. The first chapter develops the stage of what we can call "primordial Europeanism”, which led to the beginning of political activities. The second describes the relations with the PSOE, the German Social Democrats and the SI, the creation of PSP, the moral "rupture" of Europe and the promotion of Mediterranean politics, to end the reabsorption of these last instances.
