In a significant move to clarify historical events, Spain has declassified documents related to the 1981 attempted coup, aimed at dispelling ongoing conspiracy theories regarding the incident. This release coincided with the death of Antonio Tejero, the former lieutenant colonel who led the failed coup bid, at the age of 93. Despite the passage of 45 years, doubts regarding the events of February 23rd persist, and the newly revealed files include insights into the roles of various figures, such as Juan Carlos, who was cleared of involvement in the coup. The declassification process has reignited discussions about the political landscape of Spain during that tumultuous period.
