The recently released files from Defense and Intelligence archives corroborate that García Carrés served as the main civilian liaison during the assault on the Congress of Deputies. Transcripts show direct conversations with Lieutenant Colonel Antonio Tejero, whom the lawyer encouraged to hold his position despite the lack of military support.
“"Hold on, I am here for whatever is needed."
As the son of a Francoist official, García Carrés was the only civilian imprisoned for conspiracy to military rebellion. The documents detail his coordination with General Milans del Bosch and his efforts to publish a manifesto in the far-right newspaper El Alcázar during the uprising.
Despite his political career in Madrid, he remained connected to the Alt Empordà region, spending summers in Colera. He died in 1986, shortly after being released from prison following his conviction for the 1981 events.
