Spanish voters back parliamentary democracy in referendum
Spain approved the plan for free parliamentary elections next year by 72.9 percent of counted ballots, with 77.4 percent turnout among eligible voters. The nationwide vote, Spain’s first since Franco’s death, faced fears of ultraright disturbances after a kidnapping threat from leftist captors demanding freedom for jailed radicals. The reform program, opposed by both left and right, was supported under King Juan Carlos.
