Antonio Tejero Molina (born 30 April, 1932) is a Spanish former Lieutenant Colonel of the Guardia Civil, and the most prominent figure in the attempted coup d'état – also known as the 'Tejerazo' – against the Spanish democracy on 23 February 1981.
He entered the Guardia Civil in 1951 and was the leader of the Comandancia in Guipúzcoa, but had to ask to be transferred to another region when his public declarations against the Ikurriña became known.
In 1955 Lieutenant Tejero was assigned to Catalonia. In 1958 he was promoted to Captain and assigned to Galicia, then to Vélez-Málaga and at 1963 he was promoted to Major, serving in the Balearic Islands, the Canary Islands and in Badajoz. In 1974 he was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel, and appointed to head the Comandancias of Álava and Guipuscoa. For his accomplishments in Vascongadas, and in combating the ETA, he was named Chief of the Planning Staff of the Civil Guard in Madrid.
In 1978 he, with Police Captain Ricardo Sánez de Ynestrillas and an Army General Staff Colonel, whose name is unknown, attempted a coup d'état, known as Operation Galaxia, against the Spanish government. He was condemned to prison for mutiny after the collapse of the attempted coup d'état. Tejero was in prison seven months and seven days, and expelled from the Civil Guard.
Daniel Mateo Patau (Barcelona, Spain, on June 1, 1979) is a comedian, actor and Spanish presenter of radio and television, famous for his work in the program Sé lo que hicisteis... in La Sexta channel.
Licensed in journalism for the Autonomous University of Barcelona, he initiated his path in the local radio. Later there passed for several professional issuers of Cataluña such as: Catalunya Cultura, Onda Cero, Radio Gràcia, Onda Catalana, RAC 1 y Flaix FM.
It is from his friendship with Martin Piñol, whom he knows in the radio, when he gets squarely into the world of the monologues and Paramount Comedy begins to form a part of the humorists' staff of the television channel.
He has been employed at the Television of Cataluña (TV3), has been a collaborator in different radio stations and, from April, 2004 he presented the program Noche sin tregua in Paramount Comedy. He collaborated in the TV program Fenómenos and in the radio program Anda ya, of Los 40 Principales.
He was an actor of the television series La familia Mata. His character was at first secondary, but the abandon of Daniel Guzmán (the original protagonist) and other factors motivated that his role were climbing more positions up to managing to appear in the initial head-board.
