\u201cEste canto como recuerdo de tantas vidas perdidas, de aquel pa\u00eds echado a perder\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPresentes\u201d es otro libro excelente de Paco Cerd\u00e1. No es una novela, sino nuestra historia reciente, la de los primeros a\u00f1os de la posguerra. Ya son muchos libros le\u00eddos sobre esta \u00e9poca y todav\u00eda hay much\u00edsimas historias para no olvidar. Aqu\u00ed hay algunas m\u00e1s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
El libro tiene dos partes antag\u00f3nicas. La m\u00e1s conocida: el peregrinaje de los falangistas con el f\u00e9retro de Jos\u00e9 Antonio Primo de Rivera, desde el cementerio de Alicante donde le fusilaron hasta El Escorial, el sepulcro imperial donde la dictadura franquista quiso inventar uno de sus mitos. Porque de eso se trataba, de fabricar una propaganda fascista a trav\u00e9s de la glorificaci\u00f3n de un muerto en medio de un pa\u00eds destrozado. Una parte de esta historia es \u201caquel peregrinar, alucinante y tenebrista, que dio comienzo a una larga dictadura\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cuando hoy veo a j\u00f3venes cantar el \u201cCara al sol\u201d como si fuera un himno deportivo, siento el fracaso escolar de una sociedad que olvida su pasado m\u00e1s terror\u00edfico y, por tanto, podr\u00eda repetir algo parecido, desde la ignorancia y la manipulaci\u00f3n. Porque en cada uno de esos revolucionarios falangistas, hay hipocres\u00eda y ego\u00edsmo. En ning\u00fan caso predicaban con el ejemplo para esa Espa\u00f1a que dec\u00edan (y algunos hoy dicen) que quer\u00edan y quieren salvar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
La otra parte del libro son las historias invisibles y tenebrosas de muchas personas que fueron perseguidas, torturadas y asesinadas por su trabajo y su compromiso democr\u00e1tico. Como el propio Paco Cerd\u00e1 nos cuenta en la prolija bibliograf\u00eda de sus investigaciones y documentaci\u00f3n, su reto m\u00e1s apasionante es \u201cmostrar lo que el escaparate de la propaganda se esforzaba en ocultar\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Y ah\u00ed es donde pod\u00e9is encontrar un abanico de historias de personas en aquel oto\u00f1o de 1939: Eulalio, el Capit\u00e1n Dickson del Stanbrook, Pepe, Miguelillo, Encarna, Pilar, La Muchacha, Amelia, Miguel, Matilde, Manuel\u2026 que, como millones de espa\u00f1oles, sufrieron la crudeza y la violencia extrema de esos Jos\u00e9 Antonios y Franciscos que, con may\u00fasculas y un delirio megal\u00f3mano, desviaron nuestro pa\u00eds hacia un lodazal de violencia y muerte, primero, amnesia y represi\u00f3n, despu\u00e9s, sobre el que se basan algunos de los pilares del sistema que vivimos hoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00a1Qu\u00e9 importante es tener memoria y qu\u00e9 necesaria es la Historia! Gracias, Paco Cerd\u00e1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
