To the vast majority.
\nBlas de Otero <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Every man and woman in his life represents what he or she is working on.
\nHe perseveres in an action that characterizes and distinguishes him.
\nAnd it takes on a meaning for which it will be remembered.
\nThus, when life is communal and associative, our growth is done beyond the borders of our family, we live our street, school, square or neighborhood, and as human beings who acquire individuality and become genuine, other people fill our interior with meanings, in a coexistence that we do not forget.
\nThey rise in value when we need them and serve as examples when our decision falters.
\nI have traveled the world with my land in my heart, proud to have been born in the farmhouse of the room and to have grown up in Bellavista, with its people, with those who are here today and those who have left us.
\nOh my soul friends!
\nThose who filled my youth with lived values and served as support to me to look into the world of diverse concerns.
\nThe world of illusory reality that confuses us so much.
\nIf I name you, you are present, and if I describe you, you appear alive in my memory.
\nYou have set a direction and given meaning to many actions and people who knew you.
\nToday I’m talking about you.
\nBellavista, la salud, a community founded between 1925 and 1938, whose name, referring to a place, may have many stories.
\nBut Bellavista as a social fact has a value whose knowledge transforms.
\nThose who lived through the rupture of our country can understand what it meant to build a society in the Spain of the 50s.
\nHere there were brave people who rolled up their sleeves and got down to work.
\nThe first community was those who came from the hardships of the canal, and those who came to build and run the farm school of the deputation.
\nHand in hand they worked to restore dignity, honor, respect to a fractured society.
\nThey were brave, they gave of themselves, they reconciled their ideas, for the ideal of coexistence.
\nWhat was later called NATIONAL RECONCILIATION we had already experienced here.
\nThis was possible thanks to men like Juan Garc\u00eda.
\nHe was distinguished by his faith in work, a capacity that makes men worthy of what life gives them.
\nA man connected to ancestral knowledge that put him in communion with nature, from which he took his elixirs.
\nAnd this deep sap was disposed in understanding towards others.
\nI have understood many things over time, Don Juan.
\nI must call him that.
\nMr. Juan Mu\u00f1oz Escamilla.
\nThe Doctor of Bellavista.
\nDedicated to people he respected.
\nThe man of authority who was close, brave, who understood his destiny.
\nThe Man of Ideal Xtno.
\nwho sat down with all those who wanted to collaborate to improve their neighborhood.
\nA person without ostentation.
\nThat he chose Bellavista until the end when he could have chosen another place.
\nHe could fill pages with his memory.
\nBut he and his guzzi are in the hearts of all of us. Society is built, with art and education.
\nHow would we understand life without the spirit of perfection?
\nThe artist seeks it and the pedagogue seeks it.
\nOur neighborhood was sown with it.
\nMaster Leo.
\nThat on the outside he was the small shopkeeper in a bread shop.
\nBut for connoisseurs it was the flamenco roots sunk in the mud of Bellavista.
\nA seed of heart-rending energy like the strumming and arpeggios with which he made his guitar vibrate.
\nCradle of flamencos and guitarists.
\nLike Matilde Cabrerizo, it was the cradle of men and women.
\nBecause the teacher who carries it in his blood, there is no circumstance that he misses to teach.
\nDo\u00f1a Matilde, in her immense pedagogical will, made a school with her person.
\nIn that most depressed area of Bellavista.
\nElevating their neighbors.
\nOpening doors to generations.
\nSeeking time to listen and advise those who required it.
\nStanding up to being “a woman” in a difficult time.
\nCitizenship and fundamental rights.
\nA conquest that is made day by day.
\nAn effort of generations.
\nA will that we cannot fail to express.
\nAnd we have to say to ourselves that we are citizens.
\nNot taxpayers and consumers.
\nAnd resist the push of alienating markets.
\nBecause Manolo Gonzalo’s legacy, his life of dedication to the cause of the disadvantaged, his repeated citizen and union action, his impulse not to let what he had conquered lose kept him active in the citizens’ movement until his spent heart failed.
\nAnd how close we have Torcuato Hidalgo.
\nHe was the kind citizen.
\nThe man who day by day makes a neighbor.
\nWith his inseparable partner.
\nThe man and woman who build together.
\nA presence that sweetened the knowledge of this struggling neighborhood.
\nCommitment and ethics of recognizing the good in others.
\nDear Alonso Balosa.
\nHow lucky to lead such brave and dedicated people.
\nIn you we linked those expectations of seeing students and workers together.
\nWe dream of a society of justice, where the voice of the voiceless would be heard.
\nTenacious in your militancy.
\nRepresentative of our hopes in a city council that always turned its back on us.
\nWe have said with pride, Bellavista was in the first post-Franco city council.
\nMy respect, comrade and friend.
\nOur neighborhood knows what it means to build.
\nWith your own hands.
\nIn a group, with friends or associates of an entity.
\nBecause the community that has worked to build a space for its elders with a spirit of solidarity, has its continuity assured.
\nAlfredo Romero.
\nTirelessly supportive.
\nWith people and with your neighborhood.
\nYour love of culture made your newspaper corner the soul of reading in our neighborhood. How much encouragement to our longings that were opening up to the world.
\nHow much advice on the actions we undertook.
\nAlways responsive.
\nAlways dedicated.
\nWe have taken this vital essence.
\nNothing can stop us.
\nAs individuals and as a community.
\nAnd we have to continue.
\nWe have to continue.
\nYoung people! These men carried out their work in their lives.
\nBeyond the elevation.
\nIn a spirit of service.
\nResponding to the need of your time.
\nLet us not forget that our civic dignity, our fundamental rights, freedom of expression, assembly, belief, have been built with many lives dedicated. <\/p>\n
Now I return to my being, around my most immortal work: that brave festival of living and dying.
\nThe rest is superfluous.
\nI say live.
\nBlas de Otero. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
