The February 23, 1981 staged a military coup and was intended to safeguard the ultimate objective existence of a parliamentary monarchy represented by the current King Juan Carlos of Bourbon .
This is undoubtedly a truth known by all who troubled times we live it, not just as spectators, and for those involved and had knowledge of what the military coup that would have meant Spain.
The figure of the present King of Spain was then, rather than discussed, questioned by broad sectors of society and the political elite : on the left, seeking the elimination and final exclusion a king who believed, because it was the direct heir of Franco, who appointed him directly and bypassing even the finger that for the monarchy, was the legitimate dynastic heir, the father King, Don Juan de Borbón (to which the monarch would never put a single repair) and had, from the moment of death of Franco, the idea, nothing hidden, to bring back the Republic, for the rights and extreme right, because sociopolitical drift observed living in Spain at that time which, apart from a deep economic crisis, compounded the growing separatism separatist, which led to the breakup of the unity of Spain, the legalization of the PCE and unstoppable rise of the terrorist attacks that only in the last year, amounted to a hundred people and 389 murders since November 20, 1975, the overwhelming Most members of the armed forces and security bodies and forces of the State.
The king made a masterstroke, there's no doubt. For out and out the coup, his figure and the gloriously-defunct institution-he represented, would strengthened: if he won, because he was behind the entire operation (which shows, among other multiple data involving those closest to them and Lt. Gen. Jaime Milans del Bosch and General Navy) and if he lost, the facts I refer, for excel as the "great savior" of democracy whose figure he could never again be discussed by any person or group.
founded claims that the king's family was from the previous day, at least outside of Spain, for safekeeping.
What is clear is that there were several overlapping coups. The king and the military leadership "sold" to each participant in the coup version they knew they wanted to hear. Everyone thought he would get a different purpose, most, that this "saved" to Spain of a new civil confrontation in the style of 1936. King and Navy, responsible and past architects of the coup, had an end own: to ensure the permanence of the monarchy and its highest representative, the king.
None ached items to handle and use, in the worst sense of the terms-to those in need, as the pawns they needed for their own purposes. And so do not hesitate to Lieutenant Colonel Tejero, a man of honor and word, principles of deep patriotic ideals and courage and self-respect needed to go all the service of his country. But I cheated.
And so it proved when, hearing of the government of "salvation" or "concentration" that he proposed Navy, decided to leave everything behind. This was the composition of such a provisional government under the chairmanship of the Navy:
President Gen. Alfonso Armada
- Vice President for Political Affairs: Felipe González (PSOE)
- Vice President for Economic: JM López de Letona (Banking)
- Foreign Minister: José María de Areilza (Democratic Coalition)

For this trip, there was no need saddlebags.
Therefore, at 18.24 hours the day February 23, 1981 entered into the English Parliament, and issued a statement explaining why. It read: "English: Army units and the Guardia Civil that since yesterday are taking the House of Representatives under the command of General Milans del Bosch, Captain General of Valencia, have no other desire than the good of Spain and its people. Do not support separatist autonomy and want a decentralized Spain but not broken. Not support the impunity of terrorist murderers who must apply the full force of the Act can not accept a situation in which Spain's prestige diminishes by the day. Not support the insecurity that prevents you from living in peace. Accept and respect the king, who want to see the front of the destiny of the country, backed by the military. In short, they want the unity of Spain, peace, order and security. Viva Spain! "
Sobran and words ...
