Félix Ovejero deconstructs a nationalist narrative created with the tradition of the izquierda

In the penultimate chapter, Felix Ovejero (Barcelona, ​​​​​​​​1957), ofrece diagnostic of Spain and Spanish democracy with two buzzwords, “vaciamiento” and “desguace”in two sentences:

1. (Con las cessiones progresivas al nacionalismo) “If he went from dramatic ruptura cuántica al llevadero vaciamiento, so adaptable”, alluding to the connection between Ortega and Gasset.

2. “Un proceso que tiene un seguro punto de equilibrio final, el desguace de la nación política común. La única duda es cómo y la duración”.

El último libro del autor lleva su sello: contundente, brillante, sin concesiones. Su propósito, como ensayista “que se entretiene”, es explicar el porqué del relato triunfal nacionalista, construido con falacias, fabulaciones, concesiones amparadas en la Constitución del 78 y con un cooperador necesario: la izquierda/el socialismo.

Este libro de Félix Ovejero sobre el nacionalismo lleva su sello: contundente, brillante, sin concesiones

Ovejero sintetiza un sentimiento prendido en la España no nacionalista ante el entreguismo de partidos nacionales como el PSOE y el PP. “En España hemos normalizado las patologías políticas. Estamos en un delirante guion según el cual las leyes se redactan de acuerdo con los delincuentes […]obtaining a permit for criminal activity. Impunity compatible with street peace. Nada nuevo: from where the mafia sends, reina la paz”.

Pactism has adopted a nationalist desvarío: that “España is an anti-democratic anomaly” and “Catalonia is awash in policies of aggression, centralization, uniformity in culture and expansion in the economy”.

Anywhere locates the origin of the disaster in the 1978 constitutionspecifically, in Article 155, paragraph 2, equate decentralism and concessions with improved democratic quality. Bismarck’s saying comes with success as it is Pedro Sánchez Amnesty Law: “Lights, like sausages, must be inspired by the medicine you know what they are”.

Reading The invention of the farmer It is useful to understand how politicians like Pujol conceived the story of Catalonia and the construction of Tetris to justify the “separation of the common people from the state”.

Historiadores transformed into ‘nation builders after passing through the payment window. Cervantes y Colón, born in Cataluña.

The Catalan and Tuscan feel was a success, thanks in part to Franco“Nobody cares to be truthful who faces vascos and catalans”. The most popular regions, colonized and exploited by the poorest! It was a triumph of counterfactual thinking: to translate what was imagined into reality and seek a replacement.

Historadores convertios en nation builders after passing through the payment window. Cervantes y Colón, born in Cataluña. Pujol with a voucher asks for a change in the investigation because “there are so many of us, we are not as dark here as in Spain”.

Catalan“the blood of Catalonia”, is the basis of the construction of the imaginary country, says Ovejero. An example was the following: if the Catalan people share a language (through subsidies and decrees) and the language forms a cultural identity, the espíritu of the people (so-called volkgeist) corresponds to the country that requires the state.

Another correlation explains why a democratic Spain would be like a square circle: Spain = Franco = State = Dictadura. How Franco was established in Spain.

El extravío de la izquierda, al traicionar sus principlesif I try to ask myself the question and stick to the nationalist strategy. That’s what it means that the “Españolista” functions as an armored weapon and the “nacionalista” as a progressive oneaims to promote desire in the regions. “Yet every nation plays.

Ovejero, auspiciador de Ciudadanos en Cataluñaevokes the frustration of Stefan Zweig, the author The world of ayerwith socialists. I believe they were a plan of salvation in the face of the nationalistic egotism of Hitler and others, “with this absurd idea that mankind should be divided into territorial units.” As you know, Zweig, disappointed, committed suicide in 1942.
