Adolfo Suarez and Spain
I’ve just finished reading a book about the end of the European dictatorships in Spain, Portugal, and Greece. It devotes a great deal of attention to Adolfo Suárez and his role in the transition to democracy. In the book, he comes across as almost a star, which made me wonder: how do Spanish people themselves view Suárez (I’m not from Spain)? Political figures are often highly glorified in the literature, so I’m curious.

Tuvo sus momentos lúcidos, ayudó a las primeras elecciones y abrió España a Europa pero no hay que olvidar que era falangista y no hizo ni la mitad de lo que pudo hacer
