So yesterday one of the biggest TV channels in Spain, La Sexta, aired a documentary on the 23F...
Quote:
23-F was an attempted coup d'état in Spain that began on 23 February 1981 and ended on the following day. It is also known as El Tejerazo from the name of its most visible figure, Antonio Tejero, who led the failed coup's most notable event: the bursting into the Spanish Congress of Deputies by a group of 200 armed officers of the Guardia Civil during the process of electing Leopoldo Calvo Sotelo to be the country's new Prime Minister. King Juan Carlos I gave a nationally televised address denouncing the coup and urging the maintenance of law and the continuance of the democratically elected government. The coup soon collapsed. After holding the Parliament and cabinet hostage for 18 hours the hostage-takers surrendered the next morning without having harmed anyone.

This ''documentary'' was created by Jordi Évole,a TV personality host of the biggest show in the Spanish TV right now, ''Salvados'', a show that serves the purpose of airing **** out about the Spanish system, therefore most people thought he was bound to do the same with the 23-F, which whereabouts have never been quite clear to the GP ( the details on this case remain under confidenciality)
The TV program that aired yesterday was named ''Operación Palace'' and it began unwrapping a whole scenario, directed by the Spanish film director José Luis Garci, of the coup d'état being fake just to detain Antonio Tejero, who was planning on become a new dictator like Francisco Franco back in the day. Politicians, journalists, ex army members, they all were part of this ''prank'' to the Spanish audiences, who couldn't believe that they had been fooled for almost 30 years.
Today's news are all reporting the impact of this prank, and even current senators doubted for one second that they knew the whole story.
