Also in March, a new electoral system act (<span title="Spanish-language text"><i lang="es">Ley Electoral</i></span>) introduced the necessary framework for Spain's electoral system to be brought into accord with those of other countries that were <a href="/wiki/Liberal_democracy" title="Liberal democracy">liberal</a> <a href="/wiki/Parliamentary_democracy" class="mw-redirect" title="Parliamentary democracy">parliamentary democracies</a>. </p><p>Through these and other measures of government, Suárez complied with the conditions that the opposition groups first demanded in 1974. These opposition forces met in November 1976 to create an association of democratic organizations called the <a href="/wiki/Democratic_Convergence_Platform" title="Democratic Convergence Platform">Democratic Convergence Platform</a>. </p><p>Suárez had initiated political contact with the opposition by meeting with <a href="/wiki/Felipe_Gonz%C3%A1lez" title="Felipe González">Felipe González</a>, <a href="/wiki/Secretary_general" class="mw-redirect" title="Secretary general">secretary general</a> of the <a href="/wiki/Spanish_Socialist_Workers%27_Party" title="Spanish Socialist Workers' Party">Spanish Socialist Workers' Party</a> (PSOE), in August 1976.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTECarr1980175_16-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECarr1980175-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The positive attitude of the socialist leader gave further support for Suárez to carry forward his reforms, but everyone clearly perceived that the big problem for the political normalization of the country would be the legalization of the Communist Party (PCE), which at the time had more activists and was more organized than any other group in the political opposition. However, in a meeting between Suárez and the most important military leaders in September, the officers strongly declared opposition to the legalization of the PCE. </p><p>The PCE, for its part, acted ever more publicly to express its opinions. According to the Communists, the Political Reform Act was anti-democratic and the elections for the Constituent Cortes should be called by a provisional government including members from the opposition. The Communists particularly and the opposition more broadly did not show any enthusiasm for the Political Reform Act. Suárez had to risk even more to involve the opposition forces in his plan. </p><p>In December 1976, the PSOE celebrated its 27th Congress in <a href="/wiki/Madrid" title="Madrid">Madrid</a>, and began to disassociate itself from the demands of the PCE, affirming that it would participate in the next call for elections for the Constituent Cortes. At the beginning of 1977, the year of the elections, Suárez confronted the problem of legalizing the PCE. After the public indignation against anti-reformists aroused by the <a href="/wiki/1977_Massacre_of_Atocha" class="mw-redirect" title="1977 Massacre of Atocha">Massacre of Atocha</a> in January 1977, when far-right terrorists murdered labor leaders aligned with the PCE, Suárez opened negotiations with Communist leader <a href="/wiki/Santiago_Carrillo" title="Santiago Carrillo">Santiago Carrillo</a> in February. Carrillo's willingness to cooperate without prior demands and his offer of a "social pact" for the period after the elections pushed Suárez to take the riskiest step of the transition: the legalization of the PCE in April 1977. However, throughout this critical period the government began a strategy of providing greater institutional space to the <span title="Spanish-language text"><i lang="es"><a href="/wiki/Uni%C3%B3n_General_de_Trabajadores" title="Unión General de Trabajadores">Unión General de Trabajadores</a></i></span> (UGT) union, more moderate and linked to the Socialists, in comparison to the Communist-oriented <a href="/wiki/CCOO" class="mw-redirect" title="CCOO">CCOO</a>.

In the 1979 election, the UCD had achieved a plurality, but in 1982, it suffered a spectacular defeat with only 11 seats in the Parliament. The <a href="/wiki/Spanish_general_election,_1982" class="mw-redirect" title="Spanish general election, 1982">1982 elections</a> gave an absolute majority to the PSOE, which had already spent many years preparing its image of an alternative government. </p><p>At the 28th Congress of the PSOE in May 1979, secretary-general Felipe González resigned, rather than ally with the strong revolutionary elements that seemed to dominate the party. A special congress was called that September, and realigned the party along more moderate lines, renouncing <a href="/wiki/Marxism" title="Marxism">Marxism</a> and allowing González to take charge once more. </p><p>Throughout 1982, the PSOE confirmed its moderate orientation and brought in the social democrats, who had just broken from the UCD. </p><p>Winning an absolute majority in parliament in two consecutive elections (1982 and <a href="/wiki/Spanish_general_election,_1986" class="mw-redirect" title="Spanish general election, 1986">1986</a>), and exactly half the seats in <a href="/wiki/Spanish_general_election,_1989" class="mw-redirect" title="Spanish general election, 1989">1989</a>, allowed the PSOE to legislate and govern without establishing pacts with the other parliamentary political forces. In this way, the PSOE could make laws to achieve the goals of its political program, "<i>el cambio</i>" ("the change"). At the same time, the PSOE led many local and regional administrations. This comfortable political majority allowed the PSOE to give the country a long period of tranquility and stability, after the intense years of the transition. </p> <div class="mw-heading
