Spain published 153 classified documents on Wednesday relating to the failed military coup of 23 February 1981, also known as 23-F, ending 45 years of secrecy around one of the most dramatic moments in the southern European country's transition to democracy.
The documents were made available on the government's La Moncloa website from midday Wednesday, following the publication of a ministerial order in the Official State Gazette that lifted the classified status.
