23-F
23-F is the name given to a failed coup d'Ă©tat in Spain that started on February 23, 1981 and ended the next day on February 24, 1981. It is also known as El Tejerazo from the name of its most visible figure, Antonio Tejero, who conducted the most notable event of the coup by storming into the Spanish Congress of Deputies with a group of 200 armed Guardia Civil agents during the process of electing Leopoldo Calvo Sotelo as the new President of the Government.
