PRIMER CORTE: 0 - 108

JORDI VOLE: Good afternoon. How are you? Thank you very much for being
here, welcome. Today you are going to be our guinea pigs. Turns out this
Sunday February 23 there will be Saved, but it will be something for us is
more than a Saved. It is a program called Operation Palace, but input will I
have to say that's not another documentary about the coup of February 23,
1981. In fact it is so different and so different things that we needed a
debate to be broadcast later explained Operation see Palace. And there is
one crucial thing in this program: you you can not miss the end.
And why are ye here today? Well, not exactly to see the end ... the end only
you will see it on Sunday. Today you are here for the first twenty minutes of
operation Palace. After these twenty minutes, what do we want? You tell us
your opinion.
SEGUNDO CORTE: 154 242
UNA: Very shocking, yes, yes
DOS: Creepy... If all you explain is true, it is difficult to digest ...
TRES: In any case, ever, I expected something...
CUATRO: It is a very shocking documentary
CINCO: I do not remember seeing anything with such level of surprise
TERCER CORTE: 636 650
VOZ EN OFF: This very turbulent context led to the coup of 23 February
1981. A strike that has been explained over and over again. But what
happened exactly how we've been told? The only official declassified
documents so far are the proceedings of the Congress of Deputies that
reflect only part of what happened.
CUARTO CORTE: 7 27 8 03
ANDREU MAYAYO: These papers not only color the story that was told the
coup d'etat but we must also recognize that changes completely.
VOZ EN OFF: The information revealed in these documents radically change
how and why the coup d'etat and offer an absolutely unprecedented
interpretation today. This research is based on these documents and
testimonies that ratify them. He explains the surprising link between Begin
the Beguine and the coup of February 23 1981.
QUINTO CORTE: 2612 2659
ADOLFO SUREZ: As a result of the erosion of image I was suffering for
many years and the impressive harassment that was submitted by the
Socialist Party and many... well, I will not talk...
LUIS MARA ANSN: I think it's very clear how he stopped what he is going
to say when it's been years, and then shut up... Okay image that: is very
expressive.
JOAQUN LEGUINA: If Suarez, as we have seen, instead of slowing down and
move on to another subject, would have continued, counting it all, it would
have been devastating for the Socialist Party.
OTRO: He thought that the Spanish people were not yet ready to know the
truth...
SEXTO CORTE: 3744 3904
TEJERO: On the ground! On the ground!
PERIODISTA EN OFF: We heard a shot... We heard a very loud knock at the
Chamber...

JOS LUIS GARCI: It was perfectly what real Congress of Deputies of Spain
assault and was endangering not only because democracy but peace itself
in our country.
PERIODISTA: The Civil Guard enters now in the Congress of Deputies. There
is a lieutenant colonel with a gun goes up to the podium...
TEJERO: Hold it everyone! On the ground! On the ground!
OTROS MILITARES: On the ground! On the ground!
JOS LUIS GARCI: Colonel entry was perfect... We knew it would be just as
well and it was...
ROJAS MARCOS: There was real fire because I felt mattresses Congress
ceiling plaster falling on us at the end of the auditorium.
AZKAGARRA: I was forewarned. Iaki Anasagasti had put me in on
everything. But still, when it comes Tejero, enter the military, shots are
heard noises are heard, no doubt, despite being aware, all that impressed a
lot.
SPTIMO CORTE: 4230 4319
VOZ EN OFF: If the performance of Carrillo put in check the entire operation,
no less serious was the mistake made by the broadcaster Cadena SER. In his
speech, Rafael Luis Diaz suffered a lapse that has gone unnoticed until now.
RAFAEL LUIS DAZ: We see the police... the Civil Guard enters now in the
Congress of Deputies. There is a lieutenant colonel... a lieutenant colonel...
FERNANDO NEGA: Rafael Luis Diaz would distinguish from his position as
commentator who entered was a lieutenant colonel, any citizen who knows
the dimensions of the Congress is surprised.
VOZ EN OFF: The hallmark of a lieutenant colonel is two eight-pointed stars
placed on the sleeve. How could identify the speaker in the distance he
was?
OCTAVO CORTE: 5325 54 42
ELLA: Begin the beguine
VOZ EN OFF: Two years after the coup d'tat and against all predictions of
the experts, a historic Oscar is awarded to Jos Luis Garci, in clear and
secret recognition of services rendered. Begin the Beguine is awarded the
Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. A film peppered with references to
Operation Palace, starting with the title, an obvious allegory of a Spain that
began again after forty years of dictatorship. The film is full of nods to
Operation Palace. Do you remember what it's called the protagonist of Begin
the Beguine, role played by Antonio Ferrandis?
ACTOR: Antonio Miguel Albajara
VOZ EN OFF: Yes, Antonio Miguel Albajara, as the deputy director of
operations for the Spanish intelligence services. And another tribute: this
time the general secretary of the Royal House, Sabino Fernndez Campos.
ACTOR: If you need anything, call me on the phone. Ask for Sabino.
VOZ EN OFF: And another subtle reference, in this case the CIA, William
Parker.
ACTOR-RECEPCIONISTA: What a nice pen, sir! Parker?
VOZ EN OFF: Even a memory to room 302 of the Hotel Palace, where the
meeting that led to Operation Palace took place.
ACTOR-RECEPCIONISTA: Kid, 302 for Mr. Albajara.
