The identity card and the passport certify that I am Spanish, but I am not sure if I am a good Spanish, a regular Spanish or a bad Spanish. Do you have to do oppositions or is it something that is transparent? Is it perceived in physical appearance or is a mental examination necessary? And what reward or punishment do you get? I think I remember that in the endless empire of that dictator with a mustache, the vast majority of Spaniards were good. In other words, yours. Although miraculously almost everyone became a Democrat when the boss slapped it. The old concept regains its splendor. And not only the Spanish patriots vindicate it ad nausea. Catalan and Basque independentistas also cheer that moral classification. They are for good and the rest of their community for evil. And to sleep soundly knowing that the gods are with you.

I observe the departure of the Catalan patriots’ trullo. There are multiple films that begin with the image of redeemed outlaws leaving prison and wondering how the hell they are going to do it in the outside world. These characters tend to be very cinematographic, aesthetic, with a certain style. Those of the process they are not showy at all. An intrusive camera and microphone capture their conversations before the play begins. Some propose that the collective gesture be one of victory and celebration. But the Supreme Cardinal Junqueras advises that the attitude should be contrite, closer to the funeral than to the revelry, do not go to believe the rest of the reprisals who are forgetting them. They appear with a banner with “freedom” printed on it. I gather that it does not belong to the Catalan language, but to the English. So that the rest of the world finds out what his liberating move is about.
I felt emotion when Mandela and the Uruguayan Mujica were released from prison. However, that of Junqueras and his patriotic colleagues leaves me indifferent. Am I a good or bad Spanish?
