Francisco Franco Mart\u00ednez-Bordi\u00fa, nieto del Caudillo, ha decidido romper su prolongado silencio y hablar por primera vez de los aspectos m\u00e1s \u00edntimos y desconocidos del entorno familiar que rodeaba a Franco, con el que manten\u00eda una especial relaci\u00f3n de afecto.\u00abFrente a los t\u00f3picos y calumnias vertidas sobre mi abuelo, s\u00f3lo quiero contar lo que yo vi y viv\u00ed con \u00e9l. Quiero ofrecer un retrato fidedigno de su persona fuera del \u00e1mbito p\u00fablico, cuando disfrutaba de sus ratos de ocio o se encontraba en familia.Era un abuelo atento y cari\u00f1oso. Era mi compa\u00f1ero de caza y pesca, mi mentor, mi amigo. Le quise m\u00e1s que a mi padre.En mi abuelo Franco descubr\u00ed a un hombre dotado de una gran sensibilidad y que se entusiasmaba cuando un experto le explicaba los pormenores de cualquier asunto, ya fueran los resortes del Estado, el funcionamiento de una f\u00e1brica, los secretos de la caza, la pesca, la agricultura… Cuando sal\u00edamos de monter\u00eda sol\u00eda contarme an\u00e9cdotas de su juventud, historias que preced\u00eda del estribillo: ‘Cuando yo era persona?’.Gran ecologista, amante del mar y del campo, su pasi\u00f3n por la naturaleza ocup\u00f3 un lugar primordial en su vida. Pod\u00eda pasarse horas discutiendo sobre cu\u00e1l era el mejor carrete para pescar los atunes, o sobre si ese era tal o cual p\u00e1jaro, o sobre el ciclo vital de la anguila. Cada tarde, despu\u00e9s del caf\u00e9, se encerraba un rato a pintar.Yo conoc\u00ed en mi abuelo un modelo de austeridad y disciplina, un lector voraz, un entusiasta de los animales, un buen conversador, un pintor vocacional y cineasta aficionado, muy lejos de la imagen habitual del estadista\u00bb.Un documento \u00fanico, controvertido, necesario, en el que podemos ver a Franco jugando al mus con sus amigos, cazando cachalotes y ballenas, filmando bailes de flamenco en Nochevieja o tratando de atisbar el \u00abrayo verde\u00bb desde la cubierta del Azor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
