I was a two-years-old little boy, so I can't remember that day at all.
I would say most people older than 40 or 42 are able to remember it.

It was not for real, really. It only served to give acess to the socialists to the government.

Tejero was used by a very poweful man.

I remember seeing it on TV news, I couldn't figure it out at first, it looked very ominous.
A Guardia Civil officer walked into the equivalent of Parliament, or the Senate, I can't remember if he was carrying a weapon openly, but it didn't look good.
Doubtless the reasons, and an explanation, were in the news in the following days, but I can't recall seeing them, or getting to the bottom of why it happened.
