Close to the date of the referendum for the Spanish Constitution and in a climate of general consensus in the whole country, Plácido Fernández-Viagas, President of the Junta de Andalucía, proposed to all the political parties, including the extra-parliamentary, the signing of a pact for Andalusia. The pact is considered one of the most important documents in the recent history of Andalusia, although its terms were not very specific, in order to obtain the maximum support. It was a starting point, and the cost of breaking it would be great, as happened later to the centrist Unión de Centro Democrático.
