Spanish Solidarity

Spanish Solidarity (Spanish: Solidaridad Española, SE) was a Spanish far-right political party formed from jail by the former Lieutenant Colonel of the Civil Guard, Antonio Tejero, that presented candidatures to both the Congress and the Senate for the 1982 general elections, after the failed coup d'etat of 23-F. Its objective was to obtain a deputy's act that would grant Tejero the necessary parliamentary immunity so as not to face military criminal proceedings against him. Its president was Tejero himself, while his vice-presidents were Ángel López-Montero Juárez, Carlos Fernández Barallobre and María Jesús González de Castejón Moreno.[2]

Using the slogan "Enter with Tejero in the Parliament!" (Spanish: "¡Entra con Tejero en el Parlamento!"), it appeared in some electoral districts, obtaining 28,451 votes, 0.14%, and without getting minutes of deputy or senator. After those results, it ended up disappearing in November of 1984 when integrating in Juntas Españolas.[3]
