The broken vase. The history of the years after Franco´s death is the chronicle of a big swindle and a painful frustration. Opposite those who described the transition in Navarre as a bed of roses which started in 1975; the author goes back to the historical reality and; especially to the statuary debate in the 30-s to show that Franco´s death was just one thing on top of another. Taking into account some of the data which this exhaustive and documented work offers us, as well as the relationship between Jesús Aizpún and Franco´s Secret Services; the attention which these ones paid to the statutory subject as a mechanism to make the State become stronger before the subversive forces; the PNV contacts with those who were preparing the post-Franco age or the PSOE implication in the reform design made the “modelical” transition in Navarre appear as a big fiddle in which a few people ran a whole society.
