Carta a mi padre independentista

If there is a burning issue on the Spanish political scene that arouses exacerbated passions and permanently hovers over the party contest, that is the Catalan question. For decades, but particularly in recent years, the apparent dispute between Catalonia (or a part of it, to be exact) and Spain has given rise to a controversy as exalted as it is thoughtless, which has caused and continues to cause tensions in all areas. of the society. Anna Grau, Catalan through and through, writes on these pages her personal letter to Spain, which is also a letter to her father, who died a few months before her. In her work, the author appeals to reason and sanity, she reflects on the well-founded or fictitious reasons for this already secular disagreement, and signs a text full of courage, sincerity and depth. A text in which Catalans and Spaniards, Spaniards and Catalans can be seen reflected, because, although not without courage, it aspires to capture what unites us so much, beyond ideological barriers, so many times encouraged by purely spurious interests. The result is a deep and at the same time moving book, a must-read for those who lack blinders and seek to form their own criteria, free from impositions.
