The story can be a single phrase: for example, the Spanish Civil Guard celebrates its anniversary under the slogan “175 years by your side”, in four words with the aim of symbolizing the support it has given to the citizens for years. In secret, that in the 19th century it was created to suppress Andalusian anarchism, or that it was given a military structure so that the guards, assembled in barracks, would not have empathy with the citizens who would someday have to kill. You don't have to go that far. ETB2 released the documentary Itziarren semeak on Sunday. However, it is not necessary to go until the transition.

The shared narrative of transition has also been built on silence. Until yesterday, the state’s sewers were scandalized. Now that the new saint of Spanish democracy has died, it would be unpleasant to talk about these slogans. Because the saint brought the end of ETA.

About Vox has written Anne Applebaum, Pulitzer Prize, in the newspaper El País. Among other things, the author confirms the thesis that is becoming a shared narrative: Vox’s success is a direct consequence of the Catalan process in the Catalan Parlament. That was what everyone in Madrid said.

The saints of Spain and Spanish democracy would obviously be imperfect if it were not for these peripheral peoples. Without Euskal Herria there would have been no cloaca of the State; without Catalonia there would be no fascism. Without us, Spain would be perfect, but without us they would not have to blame for the lack of perfection. They need us, even to hate us. That's why they need others, who have been by our side for 175 years.
