The declassification of the 23-F secret archives did little to influence Spanish public opinion or the public. Nihil novum sole. Life was suspicious of the attitude and attitude of King Juan Carlos Ithat for all these years political and social life in Spain has overlooked, to be safe, although I suspect that it will not disappear from the historical consciousness of many Spanish citizens.
Did the king say coup? It seems so, and I mean Tejero and Milana of Bosch, while most of the general captains were hoping for higher orders. I bear in mind that 23-F has been muted in the political consciousness of Spanish citizens and in politics in general, although suspicions are now being raised “interior furniture” declassified from these two documents. what do you know
Recorded these days, by reason of these same declassified papers which Adolfo Suárez wanted to write down his political memories for a while. A prominent editorial praised him for the publication. We come to march in weekly sessions – we come from 12 in the morning until 3 in the morning – at our space on Calle Antonio Maura.
You’ve been watching for the past few weeks, but the work hasn’t come. At each meeting, Suárez worked out a previous esque, but at the same time we had to discuss the same thing, the details of the most important episodes. There was a story between us: every week we worked on a conversation about 23-F, which often developed into a big conversation about our relations with the King during his presidency, and which knew the conclusions of the whole world: that Juan Carlos I was killed by Suárez; That there were discussions of great tension between them, and that the king finally desired to rise from Suárez and join González, it is clear that he was as much a hubby in Spain as he was before the government of the izquierdas.
Many of the details that Suárez told me are important and adorable, but every time I showed that I was interested in some of them, ex-president Suárez always argued the same thing: this could not be published when he died.
Discussions between Suárez and the king picked up tone in the final months of his presidencyexacerbated by the prisas tumbarlo del poder (“Hay que sacarlo del gobierno como morje”, they say that was González’s thesis) and internal battles, the features of the Christian Democrats led by Herrero de Miñón and above all the ambitious Óscar Suázago, associated with nothing I will say about it, Heresy, which will never be conspiracy mania.
Entonces, time and again we tropezábamos s coup de Estado en marcha, or s los coups en plural. oh yes Suárez became cautious, became serious, changed the tone of his voice. Because many things in the sand could not be counted, as my friend said.
Suárez confirmed to me again and again that his resignation was due – as well as the deplorable hartazism of the king – to what had allegedly been going on for a long time: a project to censor all parties in the House, except the Communists, and with the support of the Christian Democrats, Social Democrats and Liberals of the UCD. The same Oscar Alzaga was ready to present himself in Moncloa without prior notice to the public’s official request to supplement him with this project. Suárez left me lost and, as we know, I resigned.
In all the work sessions, which were an irreparable political lesson for me, I broke out at 11 pm. Yes no fueron seis, fueron seis the time I asked Suárez for the king’s paper. But he was at the same time when he was going through the corners of the bandera, wasn’t he?, he asked her. But should I know what happened, or was I working against all coups from the beginning? What happened to the conversation between the Queen and Enrique Magica in Lleida? You Armada?
My questions will never be questioned. Suárez never said the king was lost in the matter, but I soon forgot that. But I am sure that Mr. Ex-President knew the attitude of the monarch from the beginning. I’ll never get over it. And I vividly remember these years, when I always thought about my questions and about those serious silences of Suárez. I’m thinking about it.
Let’s lose the intention of knowing the memories of Suárez. Entonces y hasta hora. Not if these words, which I have called Suárez’s papers, which we have presented in working meetings from the beginning, remain guarded in the hands of his hereditary followers. It’s okay if it doesn’t matter I will always ask myself with the memory of that impossible adventure to write the memoirs of ex-president Adolfo Suárez. Yes, truth be told, I feel a lot.
