What if an armed group entered the conference now?

It's been thirty years since Lt. colonel Tejero burst at the congress of deputies, gun in hand, escorted by a group of Civil Guards during he debate on the investiture of Leopoldo Calvo Sotelo. After three decades there are certain similarities.

When there is an assault on the Congress the country was plunged into deep economic and structural crisis, the prime minister was strongly questioned and Little more than a year for holding general elections. However two major differences are seen: Adolfo Suárez had to face a censure motion that, despite being rejected provoked his resignation as he felt it would be best for the country as well, today the democratic system is so ingrained in Spain becomes unthinkable a coup attempt, but what would happen if any?

I doubt if today an armed group burst into the conference president, José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, to stand firm in his seat as he did in his time Adolfo Suárez or adjournment of the Deputy Prime Minister, Alfredo Rubalcaba, to order the coup to cease in their mad enterprise in an attempt Gutiérrez Mellado. I question even more than the leaders of different parties, Mariano Rajoy, Cayo Lara, etc. Remain calm when they isolate themselves in another room and of course, nor am I going through your head that these were offered to continue retained to liberate the rest of Representatives.

As we saw, there are socio-economic similarities despite three decades have passed, but the main difference observed over time is in the political class that seems to have forgotten the almost forty years of struggle and oppression that had to spend to achieve the democratic dream. Politicians today have forgotten the people in a struggle for self-interest, corrupted by power and money, destroying what they worked so both men and Felipe González, Adolfo Suárez, Santiago Carrillo, Alfonso Guerra and others.

From Capitalist Defense (DC) we show our greatest respect for the fathers of democracy in Spain, the paper named a few, but many people gave blood, sweat and tears to complete the transition.
