Description
The violent death of Lorca was the miracle that finished building the most important icon of Spanish culture. If he already summarized, transcending them, the archetypes of Andalusia, falling victim to that scourge that the Spaniards of the time mounted, so given to solving everything with clubs, consummated his apotheosis as a propitiatory martyr and the subsequent sanctification of him.
I felt very proud of the change that took place later in this country of tambourine, closed and sacristy, once Franco was already dead, when compulsory military service had to be abolished because the levels of conscientious objection were the highest in Europe. I don’t know how the pendulum of history will swing twenty years later and if we will be as pacifists as then, I just in case invoke the figure of San Federico to arouse feelings of calm and understanding.
