On May 31, the queen Letizia inaugurated the book Fair of Madrid, which, like every year, takes place in Retiro Park. The wife of Felipe VI feels very comfortable in this literary and popular setting, it is tradition to see her on an official visit or incognito, taking a look at the stalls and fraternizing with her staff. The consort’s tour had heavy commitments: for example, opening the day at the National Police exhibit, on the occasion of the bicentennial of her body. Things would improve later with the stand of the Ministry of Culture, an entity much more suitable for Literature, and she finally entered the area dedicated to the Community of Madrid, where she was able to chat with the booksellers. She returned home with three degrees. Well, actually, four. She didn’t choose the last one, she found it in her mouth. With scare Incorporated.
The chronicle of that day is incomplete, because we were unaware of the existence of an uncomfortable, unexpected moment that caused, at first, a chill in Zarzuela. One of his workers, also in charge of the security of members of the Royal Family, had just published a book. An unknown facet, that of the escort, and potentially dangerous. The title chosen by civil guard Miguel Ángel Cienfuegoson the other hand, did not invite calm: “Reckoning“And he had written it, with four hands, with one TVE journalist, Pepa Sastre. Oh.
The digital ‘Confidential Monarchy’ explains that the cabinet protocol de Zarzuela received the request right there, during the inauguration. The bodyguard left them wide-eyed; he was also a novelist. Fiction, although with a background that goes, oh well. Pay attention to the synopsis of the book, from traca:”Current novel: a known ETA He has been murdered by a shot to the forehead. He is the first to fall, but more soon follow. The reaction is immediate, and the Civil Guard sends a team to the Basque Country, commanded by the young lieutenant Claudia Zaforteza, to investigate the crimes. A reflection on justice, loyalty, integrity and the fulfillment of duty, values that are as fundamental as they are, at times, in disuse.“. Very topical, of course. Seeing that the astracanada had nothing to do with Jaime del Burgo, Zarzuela breathed a sigh of relief and agreed to sneak the veteran civil guard among the “lucky ones” who could spend a few minutes with the queen.
The digital states that “Letizia received one of the probably most special books. I had no idea about it. It was a surprise“. She received the couple of authors, both from very familiar backgrounds for her, and was presented with a Signed copy, dedication included. Phenomenal. We will see if Cienfuegos and Sastre are the new Sonsoles Ónega, and sponsor his literary career. For now, they already have the photo. That ‘we are mates, damn’.
