President Adolfo Suarez resigns
In 1981 Spain was a very difficult time. In transition, on January 29, television and radio broadcasts were interrupted by the message of President Adolfo Suarez.He resigned after five years in office as Prime Minister and his party. " I do not want the democratic system of coexistence is, again, a parenthesis in the history of Spain." Suarez was brought down; It was a resignation under political, media and military pressure. He saw itcoming and the decision opened an unprecedented crisis in Spain, culminating in the coup of February 23.
Suarez was not clearly explain the political reasons for his resignation. a number of conditions were met and analyzing almost everything could be understood. The Union of Democratic Center was in the process of internal decay, poor election results before a booming PSOE contributed to wear president. Felipe González exerted a tough opposition, had even submitted a censure motion last year. González Fraga and acted as clip erode Suárez UCD and its president. The Socialists played his cards during the Transition: had a radical and republican discourse in opposition, because they intimidate anyone and top leaders did not remember the Civil War, as if it happened with the PCE.
After the death of Franco and the cessation of Arias Navarro, the king appoints President Adolfo Suarez, who initiates a dialogue with the various political forces. In August 1976 passed the Amnesty Law and the Law for Political Reform, which posed a smooth transition traumatic break with the previous regime, and legalized political parties and unions. Legalization of PCE was one of the toughest tests that underwent Suarez, pressured by the powers and some circles of the Army. He founded the Democratic Center Union, which brought together various Christian Democratic forces and social democrats, who won the 1977 elections.
The story has been commissioned to reclaim the role of Adolfo Suarez in Transition, during the five years he was head of government. For Iñaki Gabilondo, then Director of Information Services of Spanish Television, Suarez resignation announcement " was the result of internal decay process that was living UCD ." Fernando Onega, Head of Press at La Moncloa, "Suarez lived a moment of strong pressure from the CEOE and suffered a harsh opposition by the PSOE" who and his next victory at the polls divined.
Adolfo Suarez had been receiving enormous pressures inside and outside his party. "Half of the deputies of UCD are excited when they hear this rostrum to Mr. Fraga. The other half does when the speaker is Felipe González 'Alfonso Guerra said. However, Suarez in his resignation statement said: "I'm not going by fatigue".The dome of the army will never forgave the legalization of the PCE. Suarez admitted afterwards: "if I had the slightest information about an attempted coup, nor had resigned or had occurred the coup."
Suarez asked King to revoke his resignation after the 23F and the answer was: " Either you go or I go you".The president was clear that the soul of the coup was the king and that was forged in La Zarzuela, she says Pilar Urbano in his book The Great desmemoria. In recent times, he received unconditional support from the Head of State, but quite the opposite. The king was persuaded by General Alfonso Armada, who assured him that the country was an untenable situation that required a "military coup d'helm , " and that was the belief of much of the opposition. During the first days of January 1981, King Suarez tried to convince of the need for changes that were directed from military authorities and passing through he left the presidency.The king refused to dissolve the Parliament and call new elections, which proposed Suarez, be no real support or part of its party.
In resignation speech, Suarez did not mention the king, the president had lost confidence of the monarch, Who proposed the nomination immediately Vice President for Economic Affairs, Leopoldo Calvo Sotelo as Prime Minister, in which investiture debate would take place the coup d'etat by Lieutenant Colonel Tejero. After leaving the Government, Adolfo Suarez created the Social Democratic Center party, along with other leaders of UCD. It was presented to the 1982 elections garnering more than six hundred thousand votes and only two deputies: Suarez himself by Madrid and Rodriguez Sahagún by Avila. The CDS aimed to capture the majority vote of the UCD, but was far outweighed by the PSOE and Popular Alliance.
" I do not want the democratic system of coexistence is, again, a parenthesis in the history of Spain". Political observers felt that the words were revealing of the pressures exerted by certain sectors of power. "There are times in the life of every man who assumes a special sense of responsibility." He had become convinced that under the circumstances his departure is more beneficial to Spain that their stay in the Presidency. "
With that "I'm no one has asked me," he denied any speculation about a hypothetical indication of the king.Within the framework of the Constitution, the Head of State can not dismiss or promote the resignation of Prime Minister. Adolfo Suarez gave a key to his resignation two arguments: I did not want to drag the monarchy for their loss of political capital nor the Spanish people would pay the political price for their stay. It should be borne in mind that the rise of Adolfo Suarez was due to the will of Juan Carlos, who exalted the Prime Minister in a trance Spain to democracy.
Newspaper editorial the day after the resignation were illustrative. ABC reacts with nothing neutral headline: "For the good of Spain". And Diario16 desdramatizan and resignation. The Alcázar published an article by its director, whose title illustrated the intention: "UCD seeks a general"; but not a general who apuntalase democracy, but to do something else. The publisher of El País termed the resignation as the most serious fact since the death of Franco and warned: "It is not a government crisis, but a permanent escalation of the reactionary forces of this country."
Pilar Urbano mentioned in the book tells how the king was relieved when on 27 January. Suarez warns you that throws in the towel and leaves. Monarch, far from dedicating some gesture of closeness, says his secretary: "Sabino, it goes." Or a hug or a kind gesture, as if he were released. It was the first resignation of a president in democracy and end point. The next day, Suarez takes the letter of resignation to the Zarzuela Palace. "My personal wear has allowed articulating a system of liberties, a new model of social coexistence and a new model of state. I think it was worth it. "Thank you very much to everyone and everything ended.
Remember that Adolfo Suarez was responsible for a referendum on the monarchy was not convened. Now we know the deception. In 1995, he confessed that included the word king and monarchy in the Political Reform Act of 1977, to avoid a referendum on the monarchy, because the polls told him he would lose .Franco had left all "bound and tied" in the figure of Juan Carlos, who was not loyal to Suarez and democracy.
