The Assassination of Carreto Blanco(2011)

The Assassination of Carrero Blanco is a Spanish miniseries that chronicles one of Franco's regime's most shocking moments. On December 20, 1973, ETA—the Basque separatist organization—executed a daring attack in Madrid, detonating a car bomb that killed Prime Minister Luis Carrero Blanco, Franco's closest ally and heir apparent. The series meticulously traces the planning and execution of the assassination, revealing the tactical ingenuity and political desperation that drove the militant group. Through tense dramatization, it explores the conspiracy from multiple angles: the operatives who built the bomb, the lookouts who tracked their target, and the broader nationalist movement seeking Basque independence. The miniseries captures a pivotal moment in Spanish history when a single act of violence shook the foundations of an authoritarian government and accelerated the regime's eventual collapse.
