During this period, the Movement for the Self-Determination and Independence of the Canaries Archipelago (MPAIAC) carried out dozens of violent attacks in an attempt to gain independence for the Canary Islands.

Less than 20% of Spaniards supported joining NATO, but it joined anyway in 1982 and the MPAIAC soon disappeared.[2]
