Felipe, Guerra and ‘The Emperor of the Parallel’

Television frenzy before the presentation of a memoir of Alfonso Guerra (‘The Rose and the Thorns’), with added stellar presence of Felipe González. He was wondering Xavier Graset (‘Més 324’, TV3) if the shots that these socialist veterans threw at Pedro Sanchez They would get a lot of audience and following. The philologist and writer Jordi Amat I answer: «The attention will be on the TVs on the right, and here! Because for us, listening to what Felipe and Guerra have said warms us up.”.

Is right. The news programs that have dedicated the most coverage to the topic have been TV3 and Antena 3. Of course, each one with a different intention. He said Joseph Capella from Madrid (‘TN vespre’) with good aim: «It was not the presentation of a book, it was a rally’». And he warned that a notable rarity had been achieved: “Unite felipism and war, traditionally so opposed.”

Antena 3’s ‘Noticias’ also expanded, but with a different accent, that is, with enthusiasm. I was aiming Vicente Valles: “It was not necessary to interpret either Guerra or González: they both spoke very clearly!” And this morning in ‘Public Mirror’ Susanna Griso has interviewed Warand he has taken the opportunity to launch Yolanda Diaz this complementary quiebro: the only thing he does is go to the hairdresser all the time. Let’s note that in ‘El gato al agua’ (Toro TV), they were also very motivated. They noted: “At the door of the Ateneo there were socialists shouting against Felipe and Guerra, and other socialists shouting at those who were shouting”. They came to this conclusion: “The PSOE is broken!” And great joy overcame them.

I was surprised that the TVs had ignored this phrase that he launched at the Ateneo Felipe González: “It is not dignified to go to Waterloo as if you were going to see the Emperor of the Parallel.” Ah! ‘The Emperor of the Parallel’ is the nickname that the citizens gave to Alejandro Lerroux, with a lot of fun, because that Barcelona street is where he celebrated his parties. The professor tells it very well José Álvarez Junco in his book precisely titled ‘The Emperor of the Parallel’, a text that I recommend if you find it. In it he explains that the three basic ‘principles’ of Lerroux They were: anti-Catalanism, anticlericalism and anti-monarchy. This brushstroke of Felipe González It demonstrates the political hyperbole in which we are installed.
