Although this film is very old, I wanted to give a little more of a background on the violent past of ETA. In this clip a members of ETA stormed into the “Congreso de los Diputados,” the equivalent of our senate, and attempted to prevent the voting of presidential candidate Leopoldo Calvo-Sotelo, a member of the conservative party, UCD. This attempt was halted by the valiant members of the Spanish police, whose leader was Antonio Tejero. This was a major event in the history of Spain and ETA in its own right.
