(Ferrer-Dalmau Painting) .
Curiosa celebration of the "Cincomarzada" in my city, Caesaraugusta. Reminder Carlist withdrawal and a failed occupation of the city, today is a container of various protest actions. It is a beloved holiday for those who aligned themselves with the flag of Aragon autonomist and rights against the central power, but just as those who defended the privileges of Aragon against the centralism of Madrid were the Carlist liberal anti-Jacobin and not Elizabethan. Nuances.
We sell as a victory of Aragon, when in fact Carlism had a profound roots in Aragon until recently. Part of its historical identity as unavoidable. Republican flags will be many (of the 2 nd Republic) on this day, but who defeated the Carlist did on behalf of a queen.
lovers pride themselves of this party, too, that it is the commemoration of a victory and popular citizen. And yet, in modern Spain has never been a political ideology most popular root Carlism. Curiosities. If those fighters were idealistic those races were the Carlist armies, made up of volunteers and facing a regular army and touched by all the features of the modern army: levee en masse, a nation in arms, military conscription. Against all this, we can look Carlist today as the latest manifestation of human groups of free men, arising spontaneously, almost from scratch, from local environments, clustering primitive and family clans. There was never a party whose slogans and bureaucratic apparatus are infused life, modern way. None of this was necessary for a century. Interestingly, Carlism was a living idea, transmitted in families and in contact with the earth and its immediate needs. Who most resemble requetés fighters, anachronistic and almost spectral in the same time, are the rebel Highlanders of the novels of Walter Scott and Stevenson, and more closely, the Confederate soldiers of the American Civil War (Advocates of agrarian America, semi-feudal and clinging to the earth, he could not triumph over industrial America, the finance, the big city, notes and money invisible).
The establishment of the feast of March 5 is a move by social and historical manipulation. The design of oblivion. It seeks to draw from memory the deeply rooted popular Carlism Aragon took its midst for more than a century.
Who would dare today to remember their ancestor combatant requeté grandfather, sacrifice, effort without reward? If it is ignoble to beating a dead horse sports and little dwarfs trampling the corpse of a dead giant, we must remember that there is more political ideology in modern Spain defeated the Carlist. It is not any operational reality (unless that elusive spirit, wandering, no longer has to do with actual policy and belongs to other areas not addressed under him here.) Faded as the reality is transformed and the majority (at least yet) of those who today call themselves Carlist not even a shadow of what were their ancestors, parodies metamorphosed beyond recognition in which barely differ the old ideals.
Zaragoza The presumed victory was only the tactical withdrawal of the occupiers Carlist army before the approach of Elizabethan.
In that crystal ball they call Wikipedia reads: " Cabañero is said that, nothing else to occupy the city, entered into a chocolate shop and ordered a bowl of hot chocolate but had to leave without trying it. In 1840, united behind the Convention Espartero Oñate, Zaragoza became part of Elizabethan troops who had to fight Cabrera. Of Zaragoza, seeing him parading through the streets, shouted: "Cabañero that you have cooled chocolate! ""
. I always like to ask my chocolate milkshakes cold, even in winter.

Today also suffer the consequences of continuous defeat suffered by the Carlist integrated regional healthy, for the benefit of centralization:
"... Then the country was formed in the interior of conscience by a unity of belief that you have broken, and could be on the outside to loosen the bonds without any danger of separation (...) but if the internal links are broken, if the unit disappear belief and moral unity is broken, not enough all external bonds to maintain cohesion, then comes the time of the large power seeking external drive consistency throughout. "( Juan Vazquez de Mella, Texts political doctrine, Madrid, 1953, p.120 )
.
Mella, near Donoso Cortés, Balmes, and Menendez Pelayo, is part of the history of English thought that it is not even history. Streets are lucky if their behalf. Triumphs of the current academic education.
