The Three Wise Men exist and a father reluctant to lose his illusion has the definitive proof

• Traditions The struggle of a father from Madrid to prove that "the Three Wise Men exist"

• The Letter of Juan de la Cosa The fictional story of one of the most valuable maps in the world, with the Three Wise Men and America

Believing is simple, it is only necessary

by one of the most magical nights of the year, especially for the little ones.

But for those reluctant to immerse themselves in the illusion of Twelfth Night, there is a person who has been fighting for six years to show that

, all cities and towns are put into operation so that boys and girls can wake up with your wishes in the form of a gift.

Gabriel Cruz

, an investigative journalist who currently works for Cuatro, was on his guard six years ago when his young daughter came home from class with the message that every parent hopes will last as long as possible: "The Three Wise Men do not exist".

Years ago, the 'official' spokesperson used to be a party pooper classmate who put the rest of the students on their guard.

Today, with so much technology and information

, even the teachers seem to have sided with the whistleblowers.

"My daughter was told by a very modern teacher that the Kings did not exist," laments Gabriel Cruz, who saw how, indeed, computers

"It is that you search on Google about this matter and it cannot be that the first entries explain

," admits Cruz, who even contacted the company to see what It could be done so that a child who enters the search engine finds it at the first opportunity.

In this sense, the

has done a lot and

when the user is someone so small.

But it is not that field where the reporter has worked the most.

The first thing that Gabriel did, the same night that his daughter revealed the revelation, was to start reading tutorials to create a web page.

He intended to develop an 'online' space where he could discover the opposite: of course, Kings exist and

it .

was born

"My website is built with a very simple structure.

," he says while pointing to the campaigns that have emerged in recent years that do make an effort to create content that helps children live the day .

moment with a real reinforcement -such as a personalized message, video call or greeting with the name of the boy or girl in question.

With a but: "In the end, a telephone or commercial company was behind it."

From that moment, Cruz began to generate audiovisual content that, over time, has reached such a level that in his videos we can see police and military detailing the plans they put in place so that the Kings can leave the package in the right place.

In these pieces you can see a radar that picks up

.

Even the people who prepare the charcoal participate, we already know that they don't always behave well.

"You can't tell that camels fly, you have to modernize the message. I have a blast doing these reports and I don't think educating while keeping the illusion alive has side effects. I

, but I remember that time as the most happy of my life. Someone says I'm cheating on them. I think that's blowing things out of proportion."

Thanks to the diffusion of these mini-documentaries -this year's one is broadcast

, in 'Cuatro al día'- the 'evidence' of the existence of the Three Wise Men has reached the whole world .

The person in charge of this initiative assures that they have even called him from Australia to tell his experience (of the Hispanic colonies that live there, because the Anglo-Saxon territory specializes exclusively in Santa Claus).

"The one that cost the most was the first. Because

."

They were open to explaining what the security devices are like during the Parade, or the evacuation protocols in case of an emergency, however, that is not what Cruz wanted to show on screen.

"I tried to convince them to do something never seen before. That would reflect that they are 'really' working on the Three Wise Men, and the agents looked at me as if to say: 'Either we go out through the front door or the Corps makes a fool of itself' ".

After some difficult beginnings, now he makes cameos in movies and they even open the doors of the General Council of the Judiciary.

And it is that in this year's video you can see a judge who asks their Majesties to renew the Constitutional Court once and for all.

"Perhaps there are some magistrates who get upset when seeing this with everything that is falling, but I do it

and always thinking that a five-year-old person does not lose hope."

Gabriel Cruz, before the secret doors of the Royal Palace.

To achieve this goal, Gabriel does not have to always be thinking about inventing, but it is only necessary to show existing evidence.

As in last year's report, with the visit to the Naval Museum, which exhibits real cartography with illustrations of the Three Kings, such as the

Letter , one of the most valuable maps in the world, the first with America.

"That was amazing. From the Museum they told me that I could not imagine the

in which Melchor, Gaspar and Baltasar can be seen," he recalls excitedly.

Although one of the most beautiful things was lived with a mother who had a very special son, but who was bullied a lot at school because they saw him as a child his age.

"One day he took a cell phone and showed my reports

and did not believe in the Kings, and said to them: 'Now what? And those 'thugs' could only say: 'Alaaaaaa'. Because they were actually watching to the pilots how they manage the logistics of the Three Wizards of the East".

In the investigations carried out for the last video, they reveal the "problems" that King Baltasar had with the law,

and manages to speak with a commissioner of the National Police and with the judge who handled the case 11 years ago.

He only has words of gratitude for all the groups that lend themselves to continue this adventure, such as the health personnel on October 12 with whom he made the report that took place during the Covid pandemic, or National Heritage, which at first may seem like an institution inaccessible for this purpose.

As Gabriel Cruz acknowledges,

.

It's just about believing.
