Este articulo trata de explicar un desenlace politico inesperado: ?por que una inmensa mayoria de procuradores franquistas voto a favor de la Ley para la Reforma Politica, la cual suponia su propia muerte politica? A partir del concepto de «herestetica», el articulo analiza las maniobras estrategicas llevadas a cabo por Torcuato FernandezMiranda, el presidente de las Cortes franquistas, que garantizaron que la Ley se aprobase. Un analisis tematico de los tres dias de discusion de la Ley en el pleno de las Cortes revela la importancia de la manera en la que se planteo y se determino la dimensionalidad de esta Ley, lo que debe considerarse como una signifi cante maniobra «herestetica» en una situacion de transicion en la que la necesidad de mantener las apariencias, es decir, de «vestir el muneco», era de vital importancia. This article attempts to explain an unexpected political outcome: Why, when it would result in their own political demise, did an overwhelming majority in the Francoist parliament vote in favour of the Law for Political Reform in 1976? Based on the concept of heresthetics, this article analyses the strategic manoeuvres of Torcuato Fernandez-Miranda, the president of the Francoist Cortes, which led to the passage of the Law. A thematic analysis of the three days of debate over the Law in the Cortes shows the way in the which the discussion was raised and the dimensionality of the Law determined, and reveals significant “heresthetic” maneuvering in a situation of transition in which the need to maintain appearances was of vital importance.
