Pronouncement is a notion with different scopes. In the field of law , the term refers to the order or declaration issued by a court, a judge or an entity in charge of judging.

Army statement
When an army leader issues a statement, what he does is announce to society his opposition to the current authorities. Of course, before the pronouncement, the military will have already gathered wills that allow him to form a group capable of exerting real pressure on power .
What is expected is that, based on the statement, other armed forces and different social sectors will join the proposal. If the necessary adhesions are achieved, the statement usually leads to a request for the rulers to resign .
If the statement fails to gain support, it is considered failed . The soldier who raised his voice, therefore, must go into exile or submit to Justice , not being able to continue in office since he is not loyal to the authorities.
Throughout history there have been numerous pronouncements.

He spoke out against the established constitutional order and determined that it was necessary for political power to fall on military personnel like him. The position of King Alfonso

Thus, there are those who consider that it was due to social conflicts and the increasingly crucial role that the king had. However, there are other historians who believe that it was carried out to prevent democratization of the regime and the reigning political system from occurring.
