Today after
a lot to think in if it would be opportune or I don't decide to count them a
real history that I have lived as figurant, but that it can serve me so that
many Spaniards and Catalan think in advance of what they will read, pardon if
it offends some sensibility or nationality, nothing else far from my intention
to promote this effect but just the opposite, to make reflect what begins to be
a fact of almost racist incomprehension toward the Catalan thing in Spain.
The
intention and the dream of many Catalan is in fact today, to arrive to that to
be able to be Catalan in our earth, Catalonia, but it is evident that Spain and
many Spaniards deny it to us, a point that Spain doesn't want to understand has
arrived why one can and it is wanted to be Catalan, if it is Spanish although
it is for obligation, I won't refer to economy neither politics, but to
sentimental and human facts that it stops my they demonstrate as some Spaniards
they accept oneself sentimental and human situation, in two very different ways
as it is the national origin that provokes it.
And without
more delay step to count them the story: There was a family of Spanish origin
composed by some grandparents, their two children and their respective wives
and their three grandsons once; of course they will have deduced that the
grandparents and the two children are Spanish from birth and beliefs; the thing
gets complicated because the daughter-in-laws (you handcuff of its children)
one is French and the other Catalan, the grandsons all they have been born in Spain
but alone one in Catalonia. The young couples some live in Madrid and the other
ones in Barcelona, for questions professionals, until here everything it should
be normal because non gentlemen are not it.
The family
in question considers in a different way the conditions peculiar of each one of
the couples. It happens this way that for them it is a grace and a pride that
the couple that lives in Madrid composed by her son and her French
daughter-in-law, educate her two children (her grandsons) in French, both
registered in the French secondary school be and in her she marries they speak
to the unison and at the same time, French and the Castilian, this repeats, is
reason of pride that they show to all her close friends and family, (that which
when they counted it to me my opinion was that I looked like each other the
most logical and wise thing, because the boys learned this way two languages
and two cultures).
But it
changed my trial when they counted me that the other couple that lives and he
works in Barcelona and they take to their daughter to the public institute that
corresponds him and for the so much one she learns and she speaks in Catalan,
besides Castilian and English, it is not reason of pride, (I refer to their
education) rather this person has on the contrary, to hide in her house the
Catalan, neither she is spoken in her house neither she is spoken when they are
with the grandparents uncles and cousins, if they don't ask, her father agrees
on this, his mother doesn't know it. Curious truth, the conclusion is clear,
for some Spaniards it is a pride to cohabit with foreigners, but a shame not to
be Spanish in Spain.
Just as they
explained to me it is as I count it, for these Spaniards and I imagine that for
many more a thing is to have to come to work and I eat consequence to fall in
love and to marry and to have children in Catalonia, to be able to have a good
life that they could not sustain in its origin, and another very different one
to accept the culture and the feeling characteristic of Catalonia, to such an
extent of having to hide it in the intimacy, however, or curiosities of the
life, it is a pride to have oneself situation but with another member for them
of superior national category, at least this way I see it me.
Catalonia
and the Catalan is a nuisance for the Spaniards as human and sentimental
beings, another thing is our money and our taxes, but this is its right,
because so that they find out who don't want to see it, we are a conquest. And
this story has ended this way. They
already come it Gentlemen Artur Mas and Junqueras you continue discussing if
they are greyhounds or hound, the reality if they don't decide soon, it is that
we won't never be neither a thing neither other, but rather we will be what the
Spaniards want to make of us
