La vida de Fernando \u00c1lvarez de Miranda es una historia de sue\u00f1os cumplidos y una postrera decepci\u00f3n. Ni\u00f1o en la guerra, contempl\u00f3 los horrores en las dos retaguardias y eso le inocul\u00f3 para siempre la aversi\u00f3n a la violencia. Fue un joven militante mon\u00e1rquico en los a\u00f1os del m\u00e1s duro franquismo. Compa\u00f1ero de milicia universitaria de un Manuel Fraga que en el campamento de La Granja se afeitaba con vino para economizar agua, miembro del Consejo de Don Juan, colaborador pol\u00edtico de Gil-Robles y luego de Gim\u00e9nez Fern\u00e1ndez y Ruiz Gim\u00e9nez, fue desde muy pronto un dem\u00f3crata convencido y un europe\u00edsta apasionado. Varias veces visit\u00f3 los calabozos de la Puerta del Sol y estuvo varios meses desterrado en Fuerteventura.A estas memorias concisas e intensas se asoman muchos personajes, casi todos ellos amigos de don Fernando, lo mismo da que fueran correligionarios o adversarios pol\u00edticos: Satr\u00fastegui, Garrigues, el cardenal Herrera, el Padre Llanos, Federico Silva, Dionisio Ridruejo, Adolfo Su\u00e1rez, Leopoldo Calvo-Sotelo, Felipe Gonz\u00e1lez, don Juan y don Juan Carlos\u2026Eterno conspirador de los cincuenta, los sesenta y los setenta, democristiano de pura cepa, fue uno de los protagonistas de la Transici\u00f3n. Presidi\u00f3 el Congreso de los Diputados de la primera legislatura democr\u00e1tica y cumpli\u00f3 uno de sus grandes sue\u00f1os al firmar la Constituci\u00f3n de 1978. Ver a Espa\u00f1a reconciliada, democr\u00e1tica, en paz e incorporada a Europa supuso el cumplimiento de otra de sus m\u00e1s \u00edntimas aspiraciones de toda la vida.Cerca ya de los noventa a\u00f1os, \u00c1lvarez de Miranda cuenta por primera vez de forma detallada su experiencia como embajador en El Salvador, donde conoci\u00f3 a Ellacur\u00eda y los dem\u00e1s jesuitas de la UCA, asesinados apenas un mes despu\u00e9s de que dejase la embajada. Y cuenta tambi\u00e9n el desencanto de los \u00faltimos a\u00f1os, en los que ve tambalearse la concordia, el legado de la Transici\u00f3n. Una decepci\u00f3n que quiz\u00e1s comenzara cuando, siendo Defensor del Pueblo, sufri\u00f3 inauditas presiones, que relata en estas p\u00e1ginas, para que no interpusiera recurso de inconstitucionalidad contra la ley de inmersi\u00f3n ling\u00fc\u00edstica catalana. No recurri\u00f3 y, a la vista de lo ocurrido despu\u00e9s, hoy se arrepiente de ello.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
