Antonio Tejero Molina
Antonio Tejero Molina is a retired Spanish lieutenant colonel known for his role in the attempted coup d'état in Spain on February 23, 1981, when he stormed the Spanish parliament, the Cortes, brandishing a firearm and demanding the government be held hostage. This event, now referred to as 23-F, marked a critical moment in Spanish history, as it tested the country's democratic institutions just a few years after the end of Francisco Franco's dictatorship. Tejero's actions were met with resistance from various political leaders, notably Adolfo Suárez, who confronted him during the siege, ultimately leading to the failure of the coup and reinforcing Spain's commitment to democracy.
