They say King Juan Carlos has a secret daughter named Alejandra. With so many details that everyone already deduces that she is Alejandra Rojas, daughter of an aristocrat and closely associated with the Royal Family. I don’t know if you remember what I’m going to tell you about but when we were young in the town gossip there was talk of another secret son who was killed in a motorcycle accident and that caused the king at the time to not grieve I know how long. No one has ever seen him in a black tie, but he is known to cry in private. Gossip is the basis of western civilization, and even more so in the south of Spain, where outdoor gatherings are the most valuable costumbrist element we can offer and export to the world. It’s nice as a romantic novel or Turkish fiction to imagine there’s scandal and perversion in royalty, especially when we find out it’s true. Not even the best screenwriter would have written the broken hip in Botswana with “I’m sorry, it won’t happen again”, or Urdangarín going to prison and Infanta Cristina strolling through the courts of Palma and the prison of Ávila to to be abandoned by someone immediately afterwards The monarchy is the livelihood of much of what is now Spain, and it makes sense that proper rectitude is required of those who bear the responsibility of sanctifying the unity of the nation as its chief symbol of continuity and prestige. . But the royal family, which should be royal in the most polysemous sense of the word, is also a family made up of people who don’t deserve to have a commentator at all meetings in Spain who buys the first damaged junk that a certain Corinna sells Despite. A few days ago I attended the presentation of the book by María Zurita, the nephew of King Felipe VI, and Mariló Montero made a reflection that, although obvious, is nevertheless transcendental: it is not representative that there are people laughing at how an octogenarian goes down the stairs, no matter how much that old man has been king. There has been a point in our history when we have given up the courtesy of being immediately rude, because joking about an elderly gentleman implies joking about an elderly gentleman, whoever the man in question is. It is the same case as in the Évole documentary of the Pope’s conversation with a group of young people, in which the Holy Father is asked to treat him as you. A man of almost 90 years old is treated with respect and you, regardless of the importance, value or contempt held for the church. Rough education can never be synonymous with being disruptive, and in Spain it suddenly is. There are all kinds of opinions about the reign of King Juan Carlos, especially about his last leg. I give you mine before you go any further: none of your mistakes obscures the immense light of all your successes. But even if we believe the radical opposite, the degree of lynching to which an old man who has devoted his entire life to serving Spain is subjected is overwhelmingly embarrassing. That an elderly lord in exile will be forced to die just because his presence makes an insidious government uncomfortable and a group of very strong and angry nobody, because as long as there is a king there will be Spain is just devastating. Public opinion is a machine to elevate people, but also to crush them. To them and their environment, to their friends and their families. The Bourbon House has a moral responsibility to Spain and obviously their actions cannot be judged on the same scale as they treat you or me as we are nobody. But enough of burying a king, an official and above all an old man who does not deserve the deep-seated hatred of all those who would commit murder for having had for a second of their lives the courage and honor of Don Juan Carlos of Bourbon. A little more education and a little less revolution from the couch. This is all starting to get embarrassing.
