“I want to apologize.”
The article published by Luis García Montero last Saturday in InfoLibre It is the article of the three lies. Because in it, the director of the Cervantes Institute neither wants to apologize, nor does he ask for it, nor does it suggest anything that has to do with an act of contrition.
The article is written from arrogance, anger and meanness, which try to be hidden behind the character’s usual good-natured mask. That of a good-hearted communist intellectual, with the elevated forms of an exquisite cardinal.
But, on this occasion, the Jesuit simulation exercise has not been successful.
The person has gone beyond the seams of the character and has shown himself as he is. An old cynic, who long ago decided to continue living, at whatever cost, at the cost of a lie: the supposed intrinsic goodness of a communism not yet practiced.
A lie that he himself stopped believing many years ago.
Santiago Muñoz Machado, director of the RAE and president of the Association of Spanish Language Academies (ASALE).
AND AND
In this case, the indignities perpetrated by García Montero in I want to apologize There are many.
From despising Muñoz Machado because Muñoz Machado is not García Montero and because (and here is the quid of the issue) the rich Muñoz Machado earns much more money for his work than the rich García Montero for his inheritance and his servitude.
Until ridiculing Álvaro Pombo because the love he experienced was different from his (naturally, his was sublime and Pombo’s was “grotesque”). He then accuses him that his criticism, in addition to having been written by dictation, is that of a needy and grateful stomach.
Or belittle the condition of writer of Perez Reverte because, in that parallel world that the mediocre builds to exempt himself from responsibility for his failure, The number of readers is always inversely proportional to the literary quality.
A lustful hodgepodge of fury, lies and baseness. Although envy stands out above all. An envy that feels so self-destructive that it even calls for compassion.
Those who know him know very well that Luis García Montero does not care in the least about the Royal Spanish Academy, the Cervantes Institute, or the language.
The only thing that matters to him is serving the master to whom he owes the position, and continue serving as shadow Minister of Culture.
But, then, why did he attack the director of the RAE, knowing that this was going to focus all the attention on him, his adventures, his vainglories and his mangers?
The key lies in something that happened on September 23rd.
“Under the Sánchez government, language has become the first outpost of a calculated strategy of ideological infiltration into society”
That day, Feijóo He visited the headquarters of the Royal Spanish Academy and during his visit he publicly committed to following the dictates of the Academy in linguistic matters.
It was at that moment, the moment when Feijóo handed the key to the language to whoever should have it, when the alarms went off in Moncloa.
Because under the Sánchez government, language has become the first outpost of a calculated strategy of ideological infiltration in society. And the success of this strategy necessarily involves preventing the management of the language from residing in the hands of an independent body, with no other objective than to “clean, fix and give splendor.”
García Montero has only been the first soldier sent by the Moncloa to open hostilities, in a last and definitive campaign of harassment against the RAE.

Luis García Montero is better known for his militancy than for a brilliant career in public and cultural management or for his monotone poetry

They attack the institution to occupy it (another one). Or, at least, to guarantee a passive profile that leaves their hands free in their social engineering process through language.
The key that explains García Montero’s behavior is this and not an uncontrolled outbreak of a poor man’s delusions of grandeur. When García Montero attacked Muñoz Machado he was not thinking about the Academy or Cervantes. He was thinking about his master. And that should worry us.
In any case, The Sanchista army would do well to review a little history.
On May 2, 1976, forty years after having been elected to occupy the M chair of the Royal Spanish Academy, Salvador de Madariaga took possession of his rightful place among his equals.
But such a thing was only possible because the Academy had disobeyed Franco’s order to expel him from the institution. In 1941, faced with the victorious leader of a recently ended war, forty-six academics dared to say no.
After three years of bloodshed and two years of repression, an entire country had surrendered to fear.
They were the exception.
Cowards be careful with the Royal Spanish Academy and do not wake up the monster: those who faced Franco They are not going to wrinkle before the boss abalos, Cerdan y Koldo.
