Spain marks 50 years since Franco’s death, sparking debate over his legacy. He led the 1936 coup and ruled as dictator until 1975.
Tejero Molina, the military officer who led the 1981 attempted coup in Spain, died at age 93 in Alzira. His actions, including storming Parliament with armed supporters, marked the last serious effort to revert Spain’s transition to democracy. His death coincided with the declassification of documents related to the coup.
