³¼OLYMPICS¼³
¹
No, I won't talk about those topics
everyone's is used to heard when speak
ing about The Olympics : vips,
events... because everyone of us - more
or less - has some knowledge about it.
Moreover this could be even boring.
Nevertheless there are some facts about
Olympics that I'll like to talk a
bout... and I think that a Spanish is
the most appropiate person - in this
case - to comment them. Tomorrow Olym-
pics will be officially opened... at
last everyone's hopes and ilusions will
be carried out. Although you don't sup-
port sport too much, a feeling of expec
tation always comes up to our mind.
Moreover if we bear in mind that these
Olympics will be the greatest ever in
all meanings: about 3000 million people
are expected to follow this event; this
means that a huge reporting system will
be held... to sum up, a huge budget has
been planified for all this which will
have its profits by means of publicity,
TV rights, etc... As we can see, we
got the first records before The Olym-
pics started. It's needless to say that
the city that was picked out to hold
this 25th Olympic Games was Barcelo-
na... But it's not only needless but
WRONG to assert that it belongs to a
country (!?!?!) called Catalonia when
everybody knows that it belongs to a
country called SPAIN. Well, this atti-
tude is held by a couple of mad politi-
cians that want Catalonia independient
from Spain... perhaps they were not
good at Geografy at school ( I hesitate
they have gone to !!). Let me explain
my attitude which it's surely million
Spanish people one's: Everyone has
right to claim one's opinions and desi-
res... It seems that Catalonia desire
is to become independient from Spain.
Well I've nothing against this state-
ment because it's just a feeling (opi-
nion) that must be - at least - respec-
ted even though it has no sense. But I
can't stand that they make this wrong
claim by taking advantage of the Olym-
pics... We must distinguish two things:
Olympics and Politics and both must not
be mixed up !!! But unfortunalety this
won't happen tomorrow at The Grand
Opening Ceremony: instead of spanish
flags (red-yellow-red) lots of catalo-
nien flags ( yellow-red-yellow-red-yel-
low-red-yellow-red-yellow) will be ri-
sen. Is this logic?? Not at all! For
instance at Los Angeles '84 - and the
rest of past Olympic countries - ameri-
can flags appeared and not the Califor-
nia flags... just because politicians
at Los Angeles are normal (on the con-
trary happens in Barcelona!) I just wan
ted to tell you the truth about this
matter that has been thoroughly faced
up in my country, Spain. So, let's en-
joy The Olympics, and let's refuse
lies!! What country does Barcelona be
long to? To SPAIN , of course!.
