Oooooh, that looks SO gooood! Can't wait to see it. And it comes out in theaters TODAY on the 30th year anniversary of the attempted "Golpe de Estado"/"Coup d'état"/Government overthrow by Franco supporters 6-years after his death.

If I'm not mistaken, Spanish TVE1 aired a very good made-for-TV movie on this very topic last year.

Saludos, MadridMan

I saw a photo of him (at right), Antonio Tejero Molina, taken the other day on 23 February. He was lounging under a grass umbrella at the beach with his wife. Do you think he's living off of his Guardia Civil pension?? Below, he's attempting the "Golpe de Espado" back in 1981.

He is vacationing in Las Palmas in playa de Puerto de Naos, municipality of Los Llanos de Aridane, west of the island. in a Melia hotel , so nice and so much damage he was trying to do. Thanks God he fails, and blessed my King Juan Carlos I de Bourbon !

I was 11 years old and remember it very well! It's been now 30 years since "Bang, bang, bang! Al suelo, [censored]!" Wow... I'd love to watch this movie!

I think that he lost his Guardia Civil pension a long time ago, and whatever military/police perks he had,,, he's now more likely getting income from book deals and such,,, and possibly from many supporters up to this day, just a personal opinion, I cant really tell for sure.

I do know that he paid his price to society, so he's now free to leisure about as he wishes, he's also up in years so better enjoy whatever health and time remains...

Well said Pedmar!
Re "I think that he lost his Guardia Civil pension a long time ago, and whatever military/police perks he ha..." Would venture to say yes he lost pensions, etc. - Antonio Tejero Molina was, in essence, a traitor and traitors loose their benefits under the law.
