In the epic poetic presumption, someone would create the “New Covadonga”, the II Spanish Congress. In the times of the Republic, some right-wing traditionalist. Historically, we know that Maxima Ortabe, who was believed to be donated for this type of epic and mystical poetry, already former director of the journal La Tradition Navarra, used it in a poem in 1934.
This traditionalist right adapted the name to Hego Euskal Herria, probably within the Basque Statute, in the atmosphere of the times when competition for its own diplomatic relations with the Vatican’s dispatch of secular republican legislation was proposed, beginning in 1932. Later, when the Franco, Mola and Sanjurjo War was ignited, they were especially dedicated to Navarre. By the way and curiosity, in the republican front of Asturias, the communists also used at least one article by Covadonga Berria, in the need to reconquer the republican Spain from Asturias, trying to heat the Asturian hearts of the front.
It was the time of UPN, when they believed that everything would follow “secularly” in these places, in the hands of clericalism. Within that, of course, the memory in favor of Franco's crusade. But things have changed.
Until today it has persisted as a national-catholic myth of Don Pelayo, of the Virgen de Covadonga and of the Reconquista, especially in Upper Navarre. The bishop of Pamplona/Iruña, Pérez González, seems to be trying to insist on this. He did not waste the military school when he was a Military Bishop in the period 2003-2007 and his next bishopric, since 2007, was handed over to this supposed New Covadonga of Catholic nationalists.
It was the time of UPN, when they believed that everything would follow “secularly” in these places, in saécula sæculorum, in the hands of clericalism. Within that, of course, the memory in favor of Franco's crusade. However, things have changed and the former military bishop has been forced to assume a role he did not believe he should ever assume, now as bishop of his supposed New Covadonga, a mission consecrated to maintain the relics of San Jurjo and Mola martyr of that Holy Crusade in his altar grave. The legal labyrinth, the newly crushed cause of the 21st century Reconquest, has shaken who knows what right they gave to the bishopric in the days of Franco. It is demanding compliance with Francoist legislation.
The truth is that, to add, without words, to what some have said to condemn the attitude of Pérez González, I am waiting for the bishop to move from the Francoist armies to his canonical competences: that is, Joseba Asiron, who support the municipal mayor, the entire Navarro government, and the excommunication of all the crimes in favor of the municipal decision.
