The Communist Party of Spain (PCE) thought that far-right rumors connecting the monarchy and the coup plotters of 1981 were "dangerous"

The note goes on to say that the far-right wanted to "involve the monarchy and destroy it as a democratic institution". I think I don't have to explain the irony of calling the monarchy chosen by Franco himself a "democratic institution". Furthermore, those rumors have actually been given credence by other newly declassified documents (this was declassified too).
