Endorsement of The Monarchy From Spain's Political Left
Time: Friday May 20, 1977
Place: Zarzuela Palace, Carretera del Pardo, Madrid, Spain
Details: On 20 May 1977, the leader of the only recently legalized Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE), Felipe González, accompanied by Javier Solana, visited Juan Carlos in the Zarzuela Palace. The event represented a key endorsement of the monarchy from Spain's political left, who had been historically republican. Left-wing support for the monarchy grew when the Communist Party of Spain was legalized shortly thereafter, a move Juan Carlos had pressed for, despite enormous right-wing military opposition at that time, during the Cold War.
Best-effort ordering. Some events may appear out of order since many are only known to the year, but they are usually around the same period.
