This need to write a great anti-fascist boast for all times, this satisfaction of writing a will that is an anti-fascist manifesto on the door of the operating room, as Ucles did that day, to whom I wish a speedy recovery, is a wonderful theater of excellence. … The morality of a person who is so comfortably fixed in having the truth – as a hypothesis – that he sees others as worms; For those who want to turn every soul into a flag, it can be seen waving from the other side of the river.
A few days ago I was watching Anatomy of a Moment, the shocking series about the Tejero coup of 1981, and I confess that I felt a little astonishment when I heard, at the beginning of the second act, in the voice of the narrator – who is supposed to be neutral – that in the Baraquillos incident, “in the course of two weeks, more than five thousand fascists and military rebels were taken from the prisons of Madrid and executed without trial.”
And civilians? Poor Muñoz Sica was summarily executed, but he must have been a less innocent writer, even though he was not a fascist, just a monarchist.
There were many others who deviated from the mold of the terrible narrator. The least important thing is to know if Carrillo finally had something to do with it, because he always denied it and because the only evidence that Jorge Martínez Reverte found in the CNT file talks about those responsible for JSU, and there were two of them (Carillo and Cazorla). Carrillo has achieved greatness in a time of transformation. But the desire to know the truth—not filtered, but defended—leaves no will.
