Spain's King Felipe, centre, smiles after greeting Spain's second deputy Prime Minister Pablo Iglesias, right as Spain's Premier Pedro Sanchez, left, looks on inside the Spanish parliament, Madrid, Tuesday Feb. 23, 2021. King Felipe VI, Spanish lawmakers and others are marking 40 years since a paramilitary coup attempt failed to derail the country's peaceful transition to democracy. The anniversary has been obscured by the absence of Juan Carlos I, the former monarch now beset by financial scandals. A ceremony in the Spanish Parliament building, targeted by the coup attempt perpetrators in 1981, has been also boycotted by seven of the parliament's 17 political groups over the monarch's presence.
