The 1982 coup d'état attempt was a Spanish conspiracy conceived by members of the military to overthrow the government that was meant to take place on October 27, 1982, the day before national elections. The plan was discovered and the planners were arrested on October 2. The coup d'état plan hardly affected the October 28 elections, which was easily won by Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE).
