One of my contacts on Facebook joined the group "Guardia Civil". Free of course. Deep down the Guardia Civil is a bit 'like the Carabinieri in Italy and I'm sure that among the guards there are very good fibula. I am also sure that as the body of military police play a major role in defense of the English and European institutions.
However I can not even love them a bit '. Indeed, even in years when I lived in Spain I have never lost a bit of everything 'mistrust of the cops and their peculiar cap bullfighters. Did you know ... that when one sees them is to check that everything is in place and then look around to see if you can go in another direction before it is too late?
is that I believe that I had never forgotten the images of the coup Coronel Tejero. And how to forget, in 1981 I had two decades of humiliation suffered by the democratic institutions seemed just too big! And I have English friends, dear friends and people highly commendable that the news of the coup they feared for their lives, and prepared to flee. People working to build democracy in Spain in just six years after the death of dictator Francisco Franco. For the record
honesty and memory, But it is worth recalling that the undisputed hero of the February 23, 1981, the old man who rises from the bench and challenge soldiers refusing to bend to the shots and where the villain Tejero clings to throw it on the ground, was Manuel Gutierrez Mellado, VP English government and for many years he Guardia Civil. Indeed super-General of the Guardia Civil. It seems that in his later years the democracy he cared.
