Show answer and explanation
✓ Adolfo Suárez
Adolfo Suárez was the first Prime Minister of democracy, after Franco's dictatorship. He led the Transición (the transition) and won the general elections of 1977, the first free ones in decades, with his party, the Unión de Centro Democrático. Felipe González came to the premiership later, in 1982, and Calvo-Sotelo was between the two. To remember it: the first of democracy was Suárez. Madrid's airport carries his name.
