		At 18:30, led by Lieutenant-Colonel Antonio Tejero, dozens of the Guardia Civil and submachine gunners interrupted the Congress of Deputies of the Spanish parliament.
		Whilst almost all deputies dropped terrified on the floor, three kept standing defiantly: acting Minister of Defence GutiÃ©rrez Mellado, acting prime minister Adolfo Suarez and communist leader Santiago Carrillo, who calmly lit a cigarette and did not seem to be disturbed by the least bit.
		Moreover, four of the deputies were separated from the rest: the still president of the government, Adolfo SuÃ¡rez GonzÃ¡lez; the opposition leader, Felipe GonzÃ¡lez MÃ¡rquez; the second on the rolls of the PSOE, Alfonso Guerra GonzÃ¡lez; and the leader of the Communist Party of Spain, Santiago Carrillo.
