THE PRIDE OF BEING SPANISH

We had the opportunity these days to attend with emotion to the delivery of medals of the Olympic Games of Rio de Janeiro 2016 where some of our athletes managed to raise to the top of the podium.

They were Cantabrian, Basque, Catalan, Madrilenian, Galician, Andalusian, Balearic, Castilian-Leonese, Canarian, Extremaduran, Valencian, Hispanic-Cuban, etc. They all felt the great pride of being Spaniards, shedding tears of emotion as they watched the Spanish Flag hoist to the chords of the National Anthem.

That is why, because they feel Spanish and show that feeling with pride, some of those undesirable ones with no moral and ethical appeal that swarm by social networks or some media, whose only occupation is to show their anti-Spanish, have insulted them trying to vex them , Never better said that "let the lord signal that we ride". Let those guys go for those "wonderful" countries that they admire so much but not to live within the power groups but to do it as one of the ordinary citizens.

Men and women who work and strive every day to be the best without haggling efforts; People with values ​​and principles that show them in each and every one of the plots of their lives, nothing to do with those others, with no values ​​of any kind and with very little moral appeal, who denounce the Flag and whistle to the National Anthem , Even after some of them embark aboard one of the ships of our beloved Armada, on whose stern the glorious school of Spain travels, to walk his wife and children.

We congratulate, from here, all our athletes, those who have represented us in these Olympic Games 2016 whether or not they have won a medal; You have all transmitted to us the great pride of being Spanish.

You have known how to fight to the end putting the best of yourselves in the fight.

The great final result, especially for a country like ours that invests so little in sport: 7 gold medals (Ruth Beitia, Mireia Belmonte, Carolina Marín, Maialen Chourraut, Nadal and Lopez, Cavriotto and Toro and Marcus Walz)

4 of silver (National Selection of Feminine Basketball, National Selection of Rhythmic Gymnastics, Orlando Ortega and Eva Calvo).

And Bronze 6 (Lydia Valentín, Raúl Cavriotto, National Basketball Team, Mireia Belmonte, Joel González and Carlos Coloma Nicolás).

Thank you very much to all.
