Almost every time I attend a corporate event in Valencia, I come back with the unpleasant feeling of being treated like a guest where my home should be. But what happened yesterday, no matter how much it was used, to be treated like a Martian parked in an apartment exceeded any expectation. Because this was the opening act of an unknown program, about which we know little or nothing about its next steps. 40th anniversary of the Statute of Autonomy. But what they invited us to see was how the four friends were celebrating something like the patron saint festivities of the Barrio del Carmen. four friends to bewith four extras agreeWhat kind of paper did they leave for their loved ones? Monica Oltra, Mulberry Y Marza.
I was a kid fresh out of shorts when I attended the premiere for freedom, pardon, and autonomy status. I would like to say that in my case he has more adolescent disobedience than political awareness. And I was one of the Jorge Juan students who took to the streets (although at this point it was no longer a silly rebellion, but a mixture of disbelief, fear, impotence, anger, and pain). Michael Grau. But I thought you were in Alicante. And it turns out that I lived my whole life wrong. Except for Miquel, everything (including the mobilizations for crime) happened in Cap i Casal, the heart of the world, as it is known. That’s what they announced to us yesterday. There is no visible Garcia Miralles nor bevias. nor Pacos Moreno nor lilo. nor Celias nor Set i Mig. nor Fifth Tomasetti nor Cerdan Tato. nor perea nor Jesus Prado. Not others, hundreds, thousands. We were nothing, nor anyone. And we are still not.
This Wednesday was all bullshit. But not aggressive. But for the small town. And for dandruff. Because this is not a corner where a man from Alicante goes to the local area to complain about his discrimination again. This is a forum where a man from Alicante expresses his anger at how ignorant some of the Valencians who run the public treasury can be. A journalist whose decision I valued said to me at the end of the demonstration: “How would it look to you if it was too Catalanist to me!”. I was surprised by the comment. “Pan-Catalanism” was never a serious issue in Alicante, which is made up of alluvial soils. So what I saw did not take me to Catalonia. Simply, it seemed to me an unbearable peasantry.
The scenario chosen was already a mistake. Celebrating forty years of self-government, wouldn’t it be reasonable to expect that the first action would be taken in the seat of said sovereign, which was none other than the Cortes? Or in Palau, where the Honorable Molt lives, who embodies him? And if it was a change of scenery they wanted, didn’t they choose between palaces, museums, cities of arts and sciences, opera houses and the like? Should it really have been done in a newly purchased building, the Post Office, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of autonomy to fry us under a vault with a huge coat of arms of the city of Valencia?
And from that error, to the rest. Commemoration Commissioner, Joan Password, the former general secretary of the CC OO, named all, if not all, institutions of self-government during the leading years of the struggle for autonomy: Consell, Cortes, Sindicatura de Cuentas, legal council, Culture. … He forgot what a coincidence was the only Complaints Union with the highest citizenship value and residing in Alicante. And very poor quality videos after Password. Someone will explain to us what the Charter means, told by four citizens, all from Valencia. Another, a few people born in 1982 (I’m sorry to be so rude, although presented as “young”, but if they’re already forty, they’re not exactly “promises”) to tell us what to expect. from the next forty. There, yes, there were interviewers from three provinces (the journalist from Alicante. Omer Sanco), but beyond the lightness of reflection, the truth is that most of them are expressed in Spanish, which should make the Ministry of Education, and all of Consell, which Marzá directed so far, think of something. Years of immersion for this.
And by the way, Al Tall. The only time Alicante was mentioned in all the action was in her first performance, which recalls the aforementioned murder of Miquel Grau. Alicante had an intense political involvement in the realization of this Charter, but what remains after yesterday’s action (and it’s not Al Tall’s fault) is a felony of the far right. Then they presented one of their most popular compositions, reviewing the regions of the Region… and ending in Puig Campana, where Murcia begins in the south. And the last one tells the story of the farmer left behind, which Uncle Canya dedicates to “Valencia city” as they describe it, because they have to do some administrative procedures they force him in times. The dictatorship will do this in Spanish, a language it does not master. All posters of yesterday’s action, all interventions were in Valencian, although the Statute that was issued officially recognized both languages. However, despite the laws mandating them to use both languages, more and more parts of the Administration use only the Valencian language in their dealings with citizens, because the Complaints Ombudsman never gets tired of condemning, perhaps because they forgot yesterday. Others were bad. But does this justify what is now being done to those whose mother tongue is not Valencian, who are not old enough to learn it, and who, like others, should be treated as first-class citizens?
That’s how it was. We celebrated the Charter, the Constitution of all. But it turned out to be the Valencian party for the Valencians. He left some of them for your neighborhood association. And a look at the past instead of the future is assigned. As Joan Lerma correctly recalled in her speech, the attainment of autonomy here was not peaceful. The enormous tension of those years was called, not by chance, the “battle of Valencia”. It was a war with a paradoxical end, because the left lost but the right did not win. But it pushed forward. Still, those who weren’t there at the time want to tell us a new story from which the majority of the Community is excluded. An inclusive celebration could be planned. But United We Can, whose minister Rose Perez Garijo, who served as mayor of fallera yesterday, he is ultimately responsible for the events, he decided to make him a sectarian, Compromís supported the strategy even though it had nothing to gain from it, and let it go until the PSOE lost control. He really has something to lose. Yesterday, the right wing boycotted the first of the protests by refusing to participate under the pretext of its slogan.40 years in the Land of Fent) is partisan. And I don’t know if the decision was wise. But the truth is that the part of Consell closest to the PSOE was sorely annoyed by the lack of crossover and Podemos and Compromís manipulating the action. And many attendees spent the event hoping that at any moment someone would start shouting “Yes it might be” and it would turn from a rally to a demonstration.
When the statute was approved in 1982, Alicante Antonio Garcia Mirallesin his tripartite capacity as socialist spokesman, negotiator of the text, chairman of the PSPV-PSOE and member of the presiding federal executive Philip Gonzalez“We are opening the door to the future today, without forgetting the past,” he said in his speech. Y Ximo Puig He confirmed yesterday (in a surprisingly short speech for the supposed interest in glory) that the commemoration of this anniversary should serve not as a rear view mirror or mirror, but rather as a window. But the truth is that everything was a constant run up to forty years ago, as if some lefties kept thinking that bygone times were better as long as they were properly filtered through the most optimal sieve. But less than a year later, it turned out that there were elections. And voters will vote considering what awaits them, not what they say. And what matters is not whether it is called a country, kingdom, or community, but the life expectancies it offers. And that the citizen should be united and excited, but yesterday a divisive action was carried out only for the loyalists, in which notable politicians and intellectuals (neither the head of the FVMP, the mayor of Elda, nor the mayor of Alcoy) participated. , Provincial Council Spokesperson); neither concerned businessmen (neither Juan Roig nor nearly everyone else from AVE), world-class academics (definitely not Alicante rectors), nor prestigious professionals. Finally, someone from Consell told me, “We’re going to do another one in Alicante.” I’m saying this will make up for it.
