The MEP debuts in the novel with 'Ellas', which has attracted attention for the most sexual passages. Some call him "Gonzalez Porn."
Esteban Gónzalez Pons, a lover of life
"Something in that indifferent nakedness conveyed the fullness of a mother goddess whose mount of Venus had fit last night the onslaught of a galloping warrior. She rested as pleased as a sexual religious mantis, exhausted after having swallowed her lover by the vulva, having digested it in the womb and finally having it expelled again, having given birth again, having been reborn again . I rested with the calm conscience of who possesses the force of the resurrection in the very center of her pussy. "
As it happened in the past with pornographic postcards in prison and seminar yards, a fragment of a book began circulating last week on social networks. It was a page of the first chapter of 'Ellas' (Espasa), first novel of the MEP of the Popular Party Esteban González Pons. The news of the PP politician who debuts in the novel has given way to that of the PP politician who writes erotically. "I would be content to qualify myself as a writer without losing my respect: to see a book signed with my name and not be ashamed, " says González Pons about his literary vocation.
And talk about the controversy. "I am ashamed of literary critics and journalists who talk about books without reading them," he says, to point out that the quoted text is very early in the book. Actually, there are more succulent landscapes, such as when he puts a woman's mouth on his lips: "It is not very steep. A lovebird does not fit as hard as they kiss the lips of the servant's pussy." Or when another recites these verses: "Before your eyes open / before your vaginal lips whistling / any poem becomes / pure substitution."
"Telling me that my characters cannot use the language they require because I am a politician is to tell myself that I can only write novels by Corín Tellado," laments the author. "If a character who is ill-spoken or expresses himself aggressively or uses explicit sexual language, I have no alternative. I cannot create characters that only speak like Heidi and Pedro,"
"If I were not a politician, they would never have made jokes. But I am a politician and there is a prejudice towards me," he denounces. "Jorge Bustos [opinion head of EL MUNDO] and others call me 'González Porn', they make fun of my last name, when the last name Bustos would also give for many comments , but I don't do it with his," he continues. Everything, he says, is a matter of prejudice. "If you are a politician, you are wrong, whatever you do. If your exit from politics is focused on the company, you are taking a revolving door. If you focus on literature, as I am doing, and you talk about love, you are a Pornographer and you've gone out of line because politicians are asexual. And no. "
In the end, says González Pons, "we are degrading the political function so much that those who are dedicated to politics are people who do not aspire to write a book or speak freely, and who do not have their own ideas about love nor about sex. "
Thus, he points out that the book itself, a love story set in the Valencia of the last four decades, gives clues to where "the prudence" comes with which these issues are treated. "We are a generation that, when the regime changed, we already had the 'software' of Francoism installed in our consciences," it formulates as a metaphor. " We learned to live in democracy but we were not revolutionaries. A docile generation that has been trapped, like an elevator between two floors."
"Sex education gave us a priest, a guy who, in theory, never used sex and was never going to use it ," he shrugs. "And when the priests left we were face to face with the worst moment of AIDS. So we have lived sex scared and only from the age of 45, when we have lost the fear of priests, pregnancies and diseases, we we have felt powerful. " And so much, he insists: "For those born in the 60s and 70s, sex is freer than for many young people."
According to the Valencian MEP, "there is a lot of hypocrisy between the parties regarding sex, because it is a political weapon with which rivals are killed but, at the same time, a hobby in which everyone incurs." And even more: "The policy of our time has lost flight, has separated itself from ethics and is already just food policy." There is no talk of love, protest, "but neither of any other principle or value, not even in the counter values that are present in political discourse. For example, one never speaks of power and politics is nothing but power. Never there is talk of resentment and confrontation, and politics is nothing but resentment. There is no idealism. "
A criticism that also encompasses his own party: "Deep down, in the book I am apologizing for many things that happened and, at the same time, I try to understand why they happened. I wanted to reflect how that Spain of the 'Belle was. époque 'and what came next, the Spain of sadness and the dirty beach ".
