40 Years of Democracy: Constitution against coups. Spain continues to advance towards the consolidation of democracy. The Constitution for all Spaniards begins to be drawn up in the Congress of Deputies in the summer of 1977. The three fathers of the Magna Carta who are still alive tell in first person this episode of this exciting period. However, nothing will be easy: to the terrorism of GRAPO, ETA and the extreme right and the coup -staged in the figure of Tejero in Congress, on 23F-; will be added the economic debacle in the form of a serious world crisis that could be fought for the first time thanks to an agreement between politicians, unions and businessmen: the Moncloa Pacts. Despite their victory in the elections of 1979, Adolfo Suárez and the UCD suffer a progressive deterioration until, surprisingly, in January 1981, the President announces his resignation. In October 1982, Spanish democracy takes another step forward: the PSOE achieves an overwhelming victory at the polls, with 202 deputies. Felipe González sets out to modernize Spain. #HistoryOfSpain #FullDocumentary #CanalHISTORIA #40YearsOfDemocracy Subscribe to the Canal HISTORIA YouTube channel!
