Albert Boadella (77) presents a new book and a new show.

On the one hand, on January 13 he publishes

El Duque

(Espasa) and only one day later the Teatros del Canal host the premiere of

Diva

, his particular proposal about the last years of María Callas.

In the book he tries to dissect what elements the Duke of Segorbe and the minstrel have in common, a character with whom Boadella identifies.

"We both have utopias. We are in favor of the fact that excellence is what makes society work, exemplarity. However,

society is dominated by the mediocre.

The problem comes when that mediocrity is stimulated by public administrations. There is a kind of desire to eliminate any singularity.

What is always looking for is people who do not create problems.

In Spanish society specifically, where is the exemplarity?

In the ministers, in the president of the Government?

There are no references.

Very bright people are sifted,

hidden, because what shine are other things, "the playwright told LOC.

For Boadella, the Duke of Segorbe assumes his inheritance and takes advantage of the positive side.

He is the president of the Medinaceli Foundation, currently due to the expulsion by the Duke of five members of his family from the entity.

A decision that Boadella sees right.

"The Duchess of Medinaceli made all the artistic and monumental heritage available to the Foundation. At this current moment the grandchildren and great-grandchildren of the Duchess claim part of this inheritance. That is to say, they want to dismantle the foundation. We decided to expel the majority of the employers. It is not a generous attitude because they want your material benefits. It is a very fair decision. They filed a lawsuit against the foundation and we

consider that this is going against their interests

, among which there is no profit ".

In relation to the next elections in Catalonia, Boadella is not surprised by the jump from the Health Ministry of candidate Salvador Illa.

"With Sánchez everything is possible. With someone who is in the presidency of the Government and has other objectives that have nothing to do with presiding over the country and yes with his own ego and personal ambitions, anything can happen. We can find a Spain in pieces. , a Spain close to Venezuela

or a Spain of crazy people.

What Sánchez achieves is that the Spanish stop being surprised. This is very serious because it generates absolute disinterest in politics. "

Regarding the strengths and weaknesses of Ciudadanos in the face of the next Catalan elections, Boadella points out that the voter of the

orange

formation

is of "fine nose" and does not usually follow orthodoxies, as it does in other parties.

With regard to the assessment as leader of Inés Arrimadas, the playwright pronounces: "Possibly sometimes he goes to tientos that in my opinion are not what they should. For example: trying to understand Sánchez. That is already well known that it is impossible. If I have him as a neighbor, I may not have greeted him. I find it difficult for other parties other than the nationalists or former ETA members to try to understand each other with him.

I don't understand why Inés tried it

but she later took advantage of it very well to show society that Indeed there is no possibility of understanding with this man. But

Albert Rivera

already

said that before. "

SEPARATISM

As president of the satirical Tabarnia, he considers that separatism has long since surpassed his parody: "They satirize themselves already directly."

On the other hand, not even the pandemic that has devastated the planet has been able to subdue the separatist desires of a sector of Catalonia.

Boadella makes an analysis of this question: "Separatism is part of the low instincts of individuals. Civilized man tends towards solidarity and man in a primitive state tends to the tribe. Separatism is a nostalgia for the tribal. What It cannot be that it exists promoted by the government of the nation itself. It will not disappear even with a nuclear war.

This endures until the bubonic plague

. Two generations of Catalans have been indoctrinated in the inbreeding of what is Catalan is the best, the xenophobia to the Spanish and as long as those generations continue indoctrinated that does not disappear ".

Boadella also values ​​the management that the public administrations are making of the pandemic.

His son, a cellist in China, warned him of what was coming.

"It is being the great failure of Western society, especially of the more advanced countries. They have not been able to administer it intelligently, prudently, safely ... The incompetence of the majority of government leaders, in particular of the ours.

When you

are no vaccines are hesitations ...

people have to make memory of what has happened to watch the vote that put in the ballot box. "
