Some people think that I am more finished than the Guanarteme Guadarfía. That cool guy who converted to Christianity to avoid the shedding of more blood for his people. He knew that the Norman conquerors, already at the service of the Catholic Monarchs, would not have hesitated to annihilate all the "majos" who had offered them resistance. "No culture is endorsed to overwhelm another and therefore, each people must defend its own," said Johan Gotfried Herder, a German thinker of the 18th century. That happened 605 years ago. Less time than the Arabs were in the Iberian Peninsula (eight centuries). And in the end they had to leave because it was not their natural place. "Politics creates states, nature creates nations."
But there are still people who do not understand it, there are still individuals who are in a hurry to bury me. Not only me but all those who think like me. Those of us who think of a democratic, progressive and non-excluding, but integrating nationalism. "It is natural that there is no Canarian national consciousness because everything seems to have been raised from outside so that this people does not consider itself a single one, a single culture," our friend Juan Manuel García Ramos told us. Dude, hurry up if you want to bury us because we have a habit of resurrecting. And we leave the niche singing: "I was born in a prison and you were born too, some say it is fortune because the cell is blue and the bars are made of foam,?? Canarian people, raise your cry, Canarian people, unite your people. To my people I say that we must raise the song, the song of the word, and sing it all together, destroying the chains. You can't take it anymore.
"We came out alive and kicking like Juan Carlos Senante. But moving on, as Joaquín Sabina said. Moving on from critics who are capable of voting AJEI NO, simply to go against Coalición Canaria. They are capable of deceiving their people with false speeches, denying their aboriginal identity, in order to annoy others. Who in the end are their brothers from Lanzarote, from San Bartolomé, from San Bartolomé de Ajei. Moving on from mystics who go to mass every Saturday, confess and promise not to say slander about their neighbor again. Moving on, having a good time. Every night I go to bed with the peace of mind of having contributed a little to the improvement of this world, or at least I have not been bothering anyone.
"There are also those who dedicate themselves to shooting bullets, which graze me but don't hit me." I insist again, I am proud to have promoted the FIRST POPULAR CONSULTATION that has been done in the Canary Islands. The development of democracy in its maximum fullness. The other day the secretary of the City Council of San Bartolomé de Lanzarote told me that his counterpart from a town hall in the province of Zaragoza had called him to request the Regulations of the Popular Consultation, since he was in a process of segregation of municipalities and the idea had seemed great to him. We have made a chair.
In short, "at the rate we are going I imagine we will live longer than Methuselah." If Coalición Canaria were dead, as some say, no one would remember us. No one speaks ill of the dead. We are "alive and kicking, but moving on. Moving on from cults, moving on from insults, HAVING A GOOD TIME".
