Doñana and the presidential lynx

In his encyclopedia Naturalis historia , Pliny the Elder , the Roman military scholar and procurator, refers to the distinctive bird of the Hispanic fauna that is the sparrow and describes it in terms that would explain its extinction in some country estates: "In feeling corrupt air of pestilence, they evict the place and where they are preserved is a sign of healing. " In response to Pliny the Elder, his protection would have been appreciated in the height of corruption. He would have done the times of the Canaries who were taken down to the coal wells to warn of the deadly Grisú. By silencing their trill, the miners fled, trusting to Santa Barbara, at full length so as not to suffocate asphyxiated as their custodians.

In Andalusia, however, it was preferred to rescue the Iberian lynx, instead of safeguarding the sparrow , which would have made a good mistake in the face of systemic institutional corruption. Being in the process of extinction this feline, its preservation reported - no doubt - an unstoppable conservation vitola. It also contributed to cover up excesses in the Doñana environment, such as the frustrated construction of the "Marbella del Atlántico" by relatives and friends of González in the heat of Expo-92 in Seville or the toxic flood of the Aznalcóllar mining raft in 1998.

To this end, no resources were spared to make it the symbol of their environmental policy by multiplying the images of high-ranking melifluos giving the bottle to a baby born in captivity. There was a counselor who framed a dedicated photo of his claw and lyrics by a couple of lynx thanking him "for saving our lives."

Together with the cat in extinction, in holiday seasons, the presidential lynx that houses the Palace of the Marismillas live in Doñana. The inheritance where the Duke of Medina Sidonia erected a mansion to his wife, Mrs. Ana Gómez de Mendoza , daughter of the intriguing princess of Eboli , to safeguard her from the aftermath of the conspiracy of which her mother participated against Philip II by trading with secrets of State that brought the infidel royal secretary Antonio Pérez . Doña Ana's forest, the place of business of the presidents of democracy, except Suárez and Calvo-Sotelo , has filled everyone with joy, although none like González, who noted in his signature book: "Nothing, except Doñana , I had withdrawal symptoms. "

The melancholic sunsets of Doñana captivate so much that, at times, they lose the sense of reality to the inhabitants of this state holiday residence. No one has got rid of it as well as the so-called «Moncloa syndrome». Neither González nor Aznar, who believed that he had closed with Blair's mother-in-law the reversal of Gibraltar to Spain . Nor did Zapatero - "It was a sunny day and he had slept phenomenally," he recalled of the deadly attack by ETA in Barajas- or Rajoy , although he has not verbalized excessively Doñana's bewitching ability. However, no one like the new presidential lynx that seizes the Marismillas, Pedro Sanchez , anticipating the autumn electoral bellowing that so much unleashed unleashed, had thundered the way he did it a week ago today. It sounded as if suddenly a sneak shot had been released and the oxygenated Marsh breeze had filled with a dense smell of gunpowder.

Since his arrival at the Marismillas, he had adopted the immobility of those owls that await static sunrise without anything disturbing his red pupil. It was as if that perennial lookout of the Forest of Dona Ana who is the great poet Caballero Bonald , who extends her tired eyes through the bright and kaleidoscopic glass of the chamomile glass, had whispered to the acting president the verses of Baudelaire : " You have to know how to be still, and of the tumult be careful. " Suddenly, it broke the calm air of Doñana, with the birds that inhabit it, taken in the lap of nature, with that roar of a shotgun of a hunter.

After dismantling 19 days of the ship of the Spanish NGO Open Arms, with a hundred and a half migrants rescued on board and anchored off the Italian coast of Lampedusa without being able to enter the port, like the transalpine Interior Minister, the ultra-right-wing Matteo Salvini -both on the eve of elections-, Sánchez the Unpredictable was also rectified. After denying his coming to Spain, despite the offers of the nearest ports of Barcelona or Valencia, he authorized his landing no less than in Algeciras, the most remote dock and surpassed by emigration from the other side of the Strait.

Its principles are twitchy and fickle which deranged dizzy needle. Always on the verge of a survey or perhaps a telephone conversation with Hollywood star Richard Gere , an illustrious visitor of the Open Arms for a few hours. No wonder he makes his minister Ábalos look worse than Cagancho in Almagro . On the eve, annoyed with "the standard bearers of humanity who never have to make a decision," he said that Spain could not act unilaterally because it was a matter for Europeans. He is specializing in affirming what the president denies in hours.

If the devil kills the flies with his tail when he is bored, Sanchez gave a recital on how to tangle with a highly flammable affair. The Lynx Sanchez thought he killed two birds with one stone . On the one hand, it stopped the criticism of those who recriminated the hump that was appearing after breastfeeding in June of last year with the reception in Valencia of Aquarius. All this to gain international notoriety with the rescue in Italian waters of this ship of emigrants and organized with a prosopopeian couple that Fraga deployed as minister to welcome the tourist who rounded some millionaire figure. On the other, he sought to embarrass the Andalusian Government and destabilize his alliance with Vox causing Abascal's reaction as Jupiter Tonante to mobilize the leftist voter in the face of an eventual repetition of the April elections. Already then he used the betrayal of "the extreme right is coming!", Like the bullfighter who quotes the morlaco in the lodge. Sanchez has failed his lynx eye or has become so blinded that he has been confused with a shotgun and has used Ambrosio's carbine against his rivals this time.

This discovered Agosteña reveals that Sanchez is capable of anything. If Zapatero cheated with his "Bambi" appearance, as Guerra called him - at the time, former president of the Doñana Board of Trustees and formerly the Galapagos counter there -, the old White (José Luis) boy's no longer surprises even his own - that they ask a shrouded Susana Díaz - or strangers after skewering Rajoy's bearded head with the sting of his "Frankenstein motion of censure." That said, we must be very blind or do it so as not to realize that uncontrolled emigration is the main destabilizing factor of Europe's welfare and freedoms consolidated after World War II.

You cannot play frivolously with a problem of this caliber and try to obtain political advantage with a question with which the PSOE has demagogued from the opposition seats, with its insane "papers for all", and that now persists from the Government blue bank. Much less in a border Spain with Africa that calls for the collaboration of countries such as Morocco and to which they cannot be sent messages such as Aquarius or Open Arms. Luckily, the Italian judicial authorities have settled the Open Arms soap opera with the arrival of emigrants and the intervention of the ship. If Sanchez's attempt that the P45 Audacious of the Navy had moved all of them to Spain from Italian waters had been completed, it would be the beginning of the Spanish Navy replacing the Open Arms in its mission. An incentive for the mafias to throw emigrants near Spanish ports.

With the excuse that you can not put fences to the field, the broth of the slaves of the 21st century is made with the unparalleled complicity of certain NGOs that turn into necessary cooperators and wash the face of the exploiters by endorsing the blame on some Western governments that would be the cause of the misery of these expatriates. With this policy of testing and hesitation, the Government will cause a so-called effect that will attract freighters with immigrants squeezed into their warehouses.

Note that, just as those who are better able to leave their countries emigrate, unless they are territories at war, this exodus from the country is triggered when it begins to emerge from poverty. It was what happened in Spain, it happened in Asia and it will happen in Africa . As predicted by Jeffrey G. Williamson , a professor at Harvard, that economic advance will not banish the kicks, but will force them to prepare for the greatest migratory pressure in history: the African one.

It is evident that the circumstances of immigration are stronger than the will of the States. Precisely because of this, it cannot happen that rulers rely on improvisation and resort to arbitration. In such a crucial matter, August cannot be used to release occurrences because only the biggest fiascos, such as the Open Arms, will inevitably reap, and living together will be irreversibly damaged.

In the face of immigration, it is absolutely suicidal to fan the fire with improvisations at sunset in Doñana. Far from discouraging the mafias, they leave the helm in their hands. If what was previously declared incompatible with the law is periodically legalized, an encouraging message for their business expectations as merchants of persons is transferred to those who break the rule. Spain has cemented its civilization thanks to migrations and must continue to do so , although facilitating integration and preventing the uprooting of newcomers, if they want to preserve coexistence. Its rulers have to prevent anarchic migratory movements and that the emigrant installation depends only on their unilateral decision.

In such swampy terrain, along with the national issue and the economic crisis that lurks without discouragement, a state pact is imposed between the parties with the capacity to govern and that, with the relevant adjustments, establish a framework policy in which salt Immigration gradually turns into water so that it can be properly diluted, enriched and not rotten. Faced with a challenge of unforeseeable consequences and such serious setbacks in interwar Europe, it would be a mistake for the PSOE to be tempted to try to consolidate itself in the Government by zoning with an immigration policy that sought to break the rival electorate and reduce their chances of access in the Government, as he did in the April elections. A dangerous, but tempting game for Sánchez and Salvini , two sides of the same coin on how to use emigration as an instrument of agitation and vote capture. They aspire to live from people's problems, not to solve them, just like those bad doctors who only release their patients on their way to the cemetery.
