A group of Spanish military personnel led by Colonel Tejero attempted a coup d'état

43
years ago

23 February 1981,

A group of Spanish military personnel led by Colonel Tejero attempted a coup d'état. A group of Civil Guards occupied the Congress of Spain, where he held deputies. In Valencia, the tanks were taken to the streets. The King of Spain asked to maintain constitutional order and failed the coup d’état, but today we are debating the real involvement of the king himself in the attempted coup d’état. For years, many sectors on the Left have been advocating a car strike organised by the state to, among other things, neutralise the demands for autonomy of the Basque territories in the negotiations.
