"Back in the 50s, a character they called Angelito lived in Totana.
I don't know his real name or other information but he was a well-known person in the" Todo Totana "of the time.Angelito was gay and that condition or sexual option was not well regarded by the Franco Regime or by the carcundia that still survives in this town.
I met Angelito one day.
I was going with my grandmother Eusebia through Murcia and between the Caravaca Station and the Prison (which still worked) we met a tall and very handsome man.My grandmother made an exclamation, "Man ...
!!", "You are Angelito !!".
That meeting lasted for a while of conversation that I listened attentively.
At a certain moment, Angelito burst into tears remembering his Totana to which he could not return and recounting his hardships living on charity.
I remember a phrase, with tears in her eyes, addressed to the "Mistress", who called my grandmother that way: "But I have dignity and my rings don't fall off ...
!!".When we continued walking I asked my grandmother who that man was.
He told me that he had been exiled from Totana, when they applied the Law of Vagos and Maligners for homosexuality and some flirtation with someone from the "High Society" of the time.Angelito was a very sensitive person, a cook like few others and celebrated communions, weddings and sophisticated events.
He even celebrated the Communion of my friend Ginés and that marked a milestone in the entire Barrio de las Mascaras street.
"The Communion of Ginés was talked about for a long time because of how excellent it had turned out ..."This phrase is relevant because I believe that the GENERALA, like the events of Angelito, will be discussed for a long time, but in a sense contrary to the celebrations of that good person.GENERALA was awarded the Garbage Collection Service, daily cleaning and other things in 2007 when the "transparent and good managers" ruled.
As the company did not receive a single euro in 3 years, in 2010 it demanded the termination of a contract that had a duration of close to 20 years.They presented an account that amounted in 3 years to the not inconsiderable amount of almost 10,000,000 euros (or round up).
That is to say, in three years, in addition to other excesses, a millionaire debt accumulated that the PP with an absolute majority, recognized without question, including interest and loss of profit (which the company should have earned throughout the contract).
As is natural, the IU councilors were against it and put the cry in the sky before the "robbery to the town".Still today, there are replicas of that "operation" and I will explain them with data for the people to find out.
But there is something very curious (one of the hundreds of that time).
In the Settlement filed on September 30, 2010, a somewhat curious concept appears in the breakdown of the debt: An item of 298,660.50 euros (Almost 50 million pesetas) for "Gardening at the La Bastida Site".Not a bad technical report to justify that stupid thing for a garden that whoever has gone to the Bastida, can verify it at the entrance, "the four bushes" and some tree that another.
The asphalt is separate and has nothing to do with the invoice in question.While these things were happening, the councilors of Ganar Totana IU, we denounced corruption and we "rained down" complaints, threats or persecution at work.
Others, who now shout and ask for resignations or motions of censure, were silent and attended those mass feasts of seafood and delicacies "totally free" that we now pay with onerous interest and various excesses.Honestly, Angelito's celebrations seemed much better to me.
In addition to the style and unmatched sensitivity, everyone pays their own.When they tell you milongas and you hear screams or insults, review this table and think that there are many of these and they come out of our pockets while many people have a hard time.We will be talking about the General and those feasts for a long time.
More than the Communion that Angelito organized when Ginés and so many others in those times.
