he leader of Spain’s failed army coup has said he does not regret anything and claimed the country is in a dire state as it marks the 40th anniversary of the infamous putsch.
Antonio Tejero stormed the Spanish parliament with 200 armed guards as MPs were voting on a new government, firing assault rifles over the heads of terrified MPs in a bid to overturn the country’s fledgling democracy.
A moustachioed Tejero was famously shown brandishing a pistol in the parliament, in an enduring image of the event.
