...Democratic Center Union (U.C.D.), a center-right coalition of 15 groups, including Social Democrats, Christian Democrats and independents, is headed by Premier Adolfo Suárez, 44, who took over the faltering alliance last month and installed a number of his own loyalists as candidates. Some liberals quit in protest, and a number of former officials in the Franco regime came aboard.

Police arrested more than 30 people, including Mariano Sanchez Covisa, a leader of the Guerrilleros (who was later released), 15 non-Spaniards and several members of extreme left groups. The government deported another 70 foreigners, many of them from...
