The figure of Juan Carlos I passes the test of the secret documents from February 23rd
The revealed secret documents from the February 23 snap coup do not significantly alter the official narrative about King Juan Carlos I's role in the event.
Recent declassification of documents pertaining to the February 23rd attempted coup in Spain has revealed that the official narrative regarding King Juan Carlos I remains largely unchanged, despite the potential for controversy. According to the government, all documents have been accounted for, although there are questions about whether some may have been removed or destroyed during that period. The author Javier Cercas, who wrote 'Anatomy of a Moment', characterizes the lack of shocking revelations from the documents by stating, 'The great secret of February 23 is that there is no secret'. This sentiment reflects a broader consensus regarding the historical interpretation of King Juan Carlos’s actions during the coup attempt.
