Spain's Suarez faces uncertain path to democracy
Lurie notes amnesty for prisoners and talks with opposition as Suarez backs elections and reforms. Yet lingering Francoist influence, Opus Dei, and a cautious royal transition shadow Spain. Dismissal of Arias Navarro exposed fractures, while Fraga and Areilza push liberal steps. Fernandez Miranda wields clout.
