I started working on this months ago, and stopped a day later, then picked it up recently because I wanted to finish it. While it's mentioned below, I'd like to say it here: I know that this might be a mess, and not everybody will like it. But that's the fun of it all; it's not official, and will never be official, so it's fun to create stuff or imagine what happened that hasn't been explained yet. Whether you enjoy it or hate it, I had fun doing this! :)
7 DAYS TO DIE (UNOFFICIAL) LORE—TIMELINE THIS IS AN UNOFFICIAL TIMELINE OF THE LORE LEADING UP TO THE SETTING OF 7 DAYS TO DIE. ALL EVENTS DEPICTED IN THIS ARE UNOFFICIAL/UNCONFIRMED AND SHOULD BE TREATED AS SUCH (duh). THIS IS NOT PERFECT. MUCH OF THIS MAY NOT SEEM REALISTIC OR MAY BE TOO CONSTRAINED. IF YOU FEEL THAT SOMETHING DOESN’T QUITE FIT, LET ME KNOW AND I CAN CHANGE IT. IF YOU WANT, YOU CAN HELP OUT. --------------------------------------------
BCE-April 24, 1986 CE: History is unchanged.
1986 April 25 - A nuclear inspection team arrives at Chernobyl, the negligence they discover and resolve in reference to a soon-to-occur safety test is ruled as 'criminal' by the Russian government due to the estimated damage that would've occurred if the test had gone through. As a result, the true danger of Nuclear Meltdown does not set into the psychology of first world countries and they continue with lax construction of reactors.
2000 January 1 - Y2K occurs in computers across the planet. Multiple systems are permanently fried, pushing technology back several years. DIVERGENCE occurs.
2018 OCTOBER 9 - The United States Of America grants Puerto Rico statehood. The flag now carries 51 stars.
2025 June 9 - A meeting is held at the United Nations in New York to discuss political tensions between North Korea following the death of Kim Jong Un seven months prior. A 19-6 vote is enacted to increase security at the Korean Demilitarized Zone.
October 7 - North Korea attempts an attack on soil with the launch of four ballistic missiles aimed at Guam and Hawaii. Three are confirmed duds; the fourth strikes Guam’s Tamuning. Thousands are killed in the attack. Minutes later, the United States launches three ballistic missiles; all three successfully strike the capital of Pyongyang, killing several thousand people in its limits, including NK leader Kim Ju-ae. South Korea and Japan experience one of the largest refugee crises in human history. This leads to a depression in the region that lasts several years.
October 22 - A local group known as the Woodstock Militia form in the United States, their goals claiming to be “nothing more but the peace among man.” Their numbers grow over several years, expanding beyond North America.
October 23 - Backyard Bunks, a company set on the construction of backyard fallout shelters, is successfully funded and founded in Manchester, England by US expatriate Donovan Clarke, beginning construction immediately.
2032 September 2 - A Woodstock peace rally in Iraq is ambushed, leading to dozens of rally-goers dead or missing. An investigation discovers collusion between some members and a terror group known as the COG, or Caliphate Of Glory. The WM is banned from Iraq as a result “until further notice.”
December 22 - The United Nations begin talks on expanding territory further into the North Korean ruins. China argues against it.
December 30 - Talks at the United Nations ends with the UNSC voting 17-8 on territorial expansion through the North Korean ruins. China warns against this.
2033 March 27 - US expansion into the North Korean ruins begin, expecting to take a total of 18 months to succeed. Protests occur near the border. Later in the evening, a brief riot breaks out, leading to the death of a Korean Border Security Officer and several arrests.
April 1 - China sanctions the United States. As a result, the US sanctions back. The Trade War, as it is simply called, begins.
- Stocks in Chinese trade fall soon after.
August 13 - Backyard Bunks expands into the United States, quickly gaining popularity in major cities, with several hundred requests in just that single day.
September 11 - A terrorist scare occurs in Washington, D.C., after a vehicle was pulled over containing a homemade nuclear weapon. The bomb was successfully deactivated and disposed of properly.
September 19 - China begins underground nuclear testing in a remote region of the country, prompting fears in the United States and Japan of potential military action.
- Coincidentally, hours prior, Russia also announced that they would resume nuclear testing 18 years after it was discontinued.
September 29 -
Lucky Larry’s, one of the largest casinos in the midwestern United States, opens to the public in the city of Gravestown, Arizona.
December - A mass shortage of functioning antibiotics leads to an outbreak of Cholera in India, killing 3 million from December to January 2034, where it is eventually placed under control with international aid.
- Due to the Trade War, the United States experiences what is called “The Year Without Christmas.”
December 19 - United States scientists work with the United States military with the creation of a contagion with the intent to overwhelm enemy territories. Early testing is a failure.
2034 - Nuclear plants undergo a worldwide reconstruction effort to improve performance and defend against large-scale man-made attacks. Very few nuclear plants are completed.
January 2 - Seven bodies are discovered in the Cascade Range. All of them are mauled, covered in human bite marks, leading to rumors of a cannibal group nearby. Law enforcement denied these claims.
January 10 - The United States cancels the remaining expansion into the North Korean ruins, stationing soldiers as far as the city of Wonsan. China lifts few of the sanctions; the United States follows suit, but the Trade War persists.
January 11 - Construction of bunkers by BB in all Las Vegas hotels are complete.
March 18 - China ceases its nuclear testing temporarily, out of fear of radiation leaking into neighboring territories. Russia continues its nuclear testing.
March 19 - Midterm elections begin in the United States.
June 7 - Chinese President Chen-Chi is assassinated while on a trip in the United States. The United States is immediately blamed for her death. Many terror groups across the world claim responsibility. Some say this was a tactic to prevent any retaliation by China.
June 11 - China, upon full belief that the United States is responsible for the death of former president Chen-Chi, declares war on America.
JUNE 12 - World War III, or simply known as “The War,” occurs as late as 6:18 PM EST. It is unknown precisely who fired first, but blame rests solely on China.
6:15 PM - The
Integrated Operational Nuclear Detection System (IONDS) detects seven nuclear ballistic missile launches from an unknown location.
6:17 PM - NORAD confirms all seven launches. USAF enters DEFCON 1, prompting immediate takeoff of all available bombers. Several of them head for China, believed to be the sole cause.
6:18 PM - POTUS authorizes full-scale retaliation. Several US ballistic missiles are launched.
- The War commences. China denies any action against the United States, despite their declaration of war the day before, but are bombed shortly after. The United States preps a full-scale invasion scenario into China. The seven immediate nuclear missiles are destroyed. Several more are launched from ocean level, believing to be submarine-based launches. Three of them reach the west coast of the United States. Several submarines are destroyed by military response.
6:23 PM - Los Angeles is struck by two nuclear warheads several seconds apart. Few of the city’s skyscrapers collapse from the shockwave and sheer force of the explosions.
- News quickly spreads across the nation, confirming the detonation of nuclear weapons in Los Angeles. Panic spreads nationwide as people try to evacuate. Highways quickly go into gridlock, forcing people to escape on foot. Several people take shelter in several bunkers, only to quickly fill up.
- Divisions of the US Armed Forces are deployed in several cities to assist in the evacuation.
6:28 PM - Seattle and San Diego are hit by two separate nuclear warheads.
- The San Diego warhead was not a head-on strike, instead striking closer towards the outskirts, nearest to the highways. Most on the highway were killed in the immediate blast, while those in the inner city survived.
- Thirty-two more ballistic missiles are confirmed launched from China as retaliation. Many of them strike the west coast and further inland. The midwestern US (Colorado) all the way to the east coast is spared from ballistic strikes due to NORAD’s immediate response.
6:30 PM - Gravestown is devastated by two consecutive nuclear strikes. The majority of Navezgane County is spared the immediate effects of the detonations.
6:30-8:00 PM - Six more nuclear warheads breach past NORAD defenses from China, striking Portland, San Francisco, Las Vegas, and even reaching Austin, Texas.
8:00 PM - No further nuclear launches from China. Birds are in the air and are headed for China. Cities affected/destroyed are Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, and Xi’an.
- Over the next five days, the USAF is deployed across the United States and throughout China. Martial law is declared in the US, and POTUS is relocated to the Mount Weather Communications Shelter on June 14.
JUNE 14—RUSSIA BECOMES INVOLVED 9:58 AM EST - A van containing a nuclear weapon is detonated in the US capitol. Armed forces are sent to assist the injured and dying.
- NORAD detects several Russian submarines off the east coast of the US. DEFCON 1 is once again in effect, formerly set to DEFCON 2.
10:10 AM - Russian aircraft arrives in Washington, D.C., dropping soldiers across the city with the intent to take over the White House and overthrow the president. It is revealed the president is hidden away.
- Evacuations are set for the unaffected areas of the city. Several Russian soldiers kill people attempting to flee the city limits.
10:14 AM - POTUS and NORAD authorize launch of four ballistic missiles targeted at Moscow, Russia.
10:16 AM - Four ballistic missiles are launched from the United States towards Russia.
- USAF continues to evacuate the outer regions of Washington, D.C.
10:17 AM - A second nuclear weapon is detonated in the capitol, killing millions. It is unknown who detonated it or where it was detonated.
10:19 AM - Russia retaliates by launching seven nuclear ballistic missiles targeting New York, Washington, Orlando, Boston, and Atlanta.
10:22 AM - The United States launches nine more nuclear missiles targeting several Russian cities.
- Several Russian planes fly over the skies across the eastern seaboard attempting to drop soldiers with the intent on invasion. Many of them are shot down, their soldiers killed in their parachutes, regardless of the Geneva Convention.
10:25 AM - Two Russian bombers drop three nuclear warheads onto Columbus, Ohio, destroying the city entirely. The resulting EMP causes the planes to crash, killing all onboard.
- Poland, France, and the United Kingdom join the conflict, firing their own missiles at Russia and China.
- Several Russian planes touch down in Detroit, Michigan, assuming complete control of the city over several hours.
10:40 AM - Moscow is struck by two of three nuclear warheads, one failing to detonate. The other nine launches strike other Russian cities, including Saint Petersburg, Omsk, and Samara.
11:00 AM – 9:00 PM - New York City, Orlando, Boston, and Philadelphia are hit by nuclear warheads and sustain heavy damage. Russia retaliates against Poland, the United Kingdom, and France with nuclear launches targeting them respectively. London, Paris, Nice, Manchester, Warsaw, and Marseille are all struck.
- Many refugees within the United States flee towards the center of the country, residing within the countryside and avoiding major cities. Denver, Oklahoma, and Houston—to name a few—are mostly deserted, with many vehicles remaining on the roads, forever trapped in gridlock.
- The east and west coasts are in complete blackout, a result of the EMPs created by the nuclear detonations.
- China has gone quiet in all military aspects. US soldiers in the region have confirmed that survivors are surrendering.
- Russia invades sections of the UK and Italy, expanding their territory with the intent to take control of more military weaponry. At the same time, their government no longer exists. Many survivors in the affected regions panic; the country is in absolute turmoil, with riots occurring everywhere.
- The northern area of Manhattan is mostly unaffected by the blast, but the radiation has killed most of the people in the vicinity. Cars are left running, filled with the corpses of those who succumbed while trying to escape. Bodies of USAF soldiers can be found as well.
- Riots break out in the few US cities still densely populated. Martial law is further enforced.
- The Blackout occurs: Many power plants within the affected regions are abandoned or destroyed. A rolling blackout occurs across most of North America. Very few cities still hold access to electricity.
June 14 - Radiation from the seaboards begins to seep into water systems and streams, which will begin to irradiate and pollute most major water sources across the country in the coming weeks.
- Patients in hospitals across the United States begin to die by the millions as backup power fails.
- Order starts to break down across several areas in the mid-US.
- Several more nations join into the conflict, firing their weapons at Russia and China.
- A global, limited nuclear exchange occurs. Action between nations is limited to several minutes. Detonations occur over three hours. 49 nations are confirmed affected or destroyed by the exchange. Very few nations remain unaffected or functioning, such as Africa, Australia, regions of South America, and parts of the central US. The rest struggle or collapse from radiation or economic failure.
June 15 - An undetonated nuclear warhead in Moscow suddenly explodes. Millions are killed in an instant. Remnants of Russian missile command see this as an attack and immediately fire twelve more nuclear missiles. They launch in random directions.
- Poland is hit again. England is hit again, London is devastated. Paris is struck again, causing the collapse of the famed Eiffel Tower. Uganda, Africa is struck, leading to them retaliating against Russia.
- The United States is once again hit by Russian warheads. New York’s north side is hit, killing millions of survivors. Washington, D.C. is hit again. NORAD nearly shoots down all of them. One surviving missile strikes Kansas City, devastating it in moments.
- After this day, no further nuclear missiles are launched from any nation. Communications break down across the world. The Great Silence begins.
June 16 - The War ends. Two-and-a-half billion people are dead. Many more are injured and dying; the death toll is expected to climb another billion over several months.
- Several countries drop communications, either intentionally or unintentionally. The United States, for two weeks, is isolated from the rest of the world except for Canada and remnants of Mexico.
June 18 - Radiation has seeped into the water systems of many inhabited US cities. People are poisoned and begin to die. USAF remnant soldiers begin to ration food and water to the population.
- NORAD is abandoned, its surviving crew scattering across the mid-US.
- Surviving members of the Woodstock Militia regroup in Denver with the intent to boost morale across the surviving states.
- Navezgane County, Arizona regains contact with the mid-US states. Several other counties of other western states soon do the same. Navezgane’s climate is heavily altered. Snowy regions plague the mountains, while plant-life blooms elsewhere. The area surrounding Gravestown is abandoned, filled with the bodies of war victims and populated with survivors, who are only now emerging from their bunkers with the intent on beginning a cleanup effort.
June 20 - Cleanup attempts begin across remnants of the nation with the help of USAF. The president is relocated to Denver, Colorado and addresses the nation to his best extent.
July 2-5 - The United States is divided into three sections: The States, The West Wasteland, and The East Wasteland.
- USAF members return from overseas after weeks of silence. Many have died from radiation poisoning and were buried in China.
- Survivors from neighboring countries, including China and Russia, begin to appear on shorelines as they make their way to the States. Very few are turned away. Many Chinese and Russian survivors surrender, only to be taken in and sheltered. It is from these survivors that the extent of the damage from the war is revealed. Russia’s economy collapsed in a matter of days, whereas China’s economy “seemingly collapsed the moment the very first bomb touched down.”
- People begin farms in their own backyards, planting gardens and producing crops.
July 5-16 - Power plants across the States are restored; the lights turn back on across the country, even in areas across the Wastelands. Navezgane County’s power is restored. Some power plants have melted down in recent weeks, irradiating parts of North America for thousands of years.
July-August - The Great Meltdown occurs, a period in which power plants across the world experience near-simultaneous meltdowns as a result of abandonment and lack of maintenance. Several European countries are irradiated, millions killed.
- Japan’s nuclear plants melt down; those who were unable to flee die quickly of radiation poisoning.
- Hawaii is spared from the radioactive cloud, which eventually reaches North America by early August.
- The west coast of North America is devastated by radioactivity from the GM. Those not already killed by the war are killed by the cloud.
- Alaska is spared from the radioactive cloud.
- The majority of South America is spared from the radioactive cloud, but its west coast is devastated.
- Most of Europe is devastated. Those who are able to escape are forced underground.
- The world truly becomes isolated. Two billion more die during the Great Meltdown. Three-and-a-half billion survivors remain on Earth.
- The States are spared from the radioactive cloud that covers the majority of the planet.
- Very few places on the coastlines are spared from the radioactive cloud, such as Navezgane County.
- Many cities lie dead, full of the remains of the people who used to live there.
August - An outbreak of Cholera occurs in Tulsa, Oklahoma. A mixture of radioactive and infected water leads to 100,000+ dead, an eighth of its population.
OUTBREAK OCCURS - A mutation via radiation exposure leads to the full-blown outbreak of V-713, or known more as the Muerto contagion in North America.
August 4 - Cases of an unknown pathogen are reported in Navezgane and several other spots of land across the western board. Reports of infection are heard in Albuquerque and Sante Fe, New Mexico, Salt Lake City, Utah, and Denver, Colorado. Due to recent outbreaks of Cholera and other dangerous diseases, USAF and doctors collaborate to deliver protective masks, while simultaneously quarantining the sick.
August 5 - Bodies are found in multiple areas across several states, in similar condition to the bodies found in the Cascade Range months earlier.
-
Muerto spreads into several more towns and cities. Hospitals quickly become overwhelmed with new admissions.
- Many fear the outbreak will reach their area and attempt to leave. Highways are once again clogged, while soldiers attempt to console and comfort those panicking, encouraging them to return home.
AUGUST 6 – THE MUERTOS RISE - Cases spread further to larger cities.
- Hundreds of infected individuals begin to die in hospitals; some die on the streets. Several areas are quarantined, with hazmat teams burying the dead; in most cases, the dead are burned once space runs out.
- Reports of attacks begin to pile up in areas hit hardest by the infection. They are dismissed as riots and labelled as “fearful anarchists.”
- In the evening, sudden mass ‘riots’ break out across the western board. News reports depict people chasing each other and knocking others to the ground ‘with the intent to maim or kill’.
- Citizens, sick or healthy, attempt to flee the cities and areas that are in chaos. Many seek protection by local police forces, but are gunned down mistaken for attackers.
- Police forces in the main cities are quickly overwhelmed. USAF forces in the area respond with deadly force, but many of them are overwhelmed as well.
- Roadblocks are set up on highways, hoping to contain the violence to the cities—however, reports emerge of similar attacks occurring in small towns and even villages.
- The cities’ streets are a mix of stampeding civilians and crazed attackers.
August 7 12:00 AM – 5:00 AM - USAF forces are forced to pull out of Denver’s limits. The president is long gone, relocated to De Moines, Iowa.
- Roadblocks outside Denver, Salt Lake City, and Santa Fe are overrun by infected individuals.
- Doctors confirm on radios and functioning stations that the attackers are deceased. The Muerto contagion is gained its name, but the infected are rarely, if ever, named as zombies.
7:23 AM - The president addresses the nation, revealing the full scale of the situation and urges calm. This does little to prevent further panic.
8:00 AM – 4:00 PM - The infected overrun multiple military outposts across several cities.
- USAF forces conduct mass napalm bombings in Salt Lake City, Denver, Santa Fe, and more, in an attempt to control the spread. The effort fails.
- Reports arise that USAF forces have gunned down refugees pouring into towns neighboring Denver and Santa Fe. Outrage spreads quickly as the infected continue to migrate further east.
4:00 PM – 11:00 PM - USAF outposts in Fort Collins, Colorado and Rapid City, South Dakota are overrun by infected.
- Reports of infection arise in the city of Wichita, Kansas. Suspected cases are either quarantined or killed to contain the spread.
- Fort Collins is firebombed by USAF pilots. Containment is initially a success, but the sound draws mass herds of infected hosts. The fort is declared a lost cause.
August 8 - Outposts and blockades are stationed across several areas not yet hit, such as Navezgane County. Cities further to the east succumb to infection and riots.
- Firebombing methods are abandoned for major cities; citizens are left to their own devices. Many die in the panic.
August 10 – August 11 - The Muerto contagion is reported in Navezgane and several other counties. People resort to locking themselves in their homes or committing suicide. However, many commit suicide by either poisoning or hanging, leading to reanimation.
- Suicide patients begin to reanimate over several hours, leading to a siege of infected hosts in several towns.
- The Diersville hospital is under siege throughout the 11th, leading to the infected escaping and attacking the neighboring folk.
- Infection reported in Perishton.
August 13 - Perishton under siege.
- Diersville confirmed lost. Many residents forced to fend for themselves. USAF forces abandon the town after failed attempts to control the infected hordes. Some fleeing residents are gunned down, mistaken for the dead.
- Several nuclear weapons are dropped on Denver, Santa Fe, and Albuquerque as a last resort. The resulting blasts irradiate the entire region. Navezgane County is more or less sealed off from the rest of the nation.
August 18 - Power failures plague large regions of the States.
- The infection is controlled in several areas via USAF border fences.
- USAF forces begin airdrops in areas affected, but still holding survivors.
August 25 - Navezgane is declared a hazard zone. Airdrops still occur, but it is forbidden to set foot until otherwise.
- The Muerto contagion is contained; half of the States survive.
- 7 Days To Die begins.

http://andresherrero.com/la-independencia-proyecto-de-izquierdas-de-derechas-o-de-centro/”** Publicaremos este trabajo- no apto para fanáticos- en tres notas sucesivas ___________________
Los nacionalismos vasco y catalán surgieron en la segunda mitad del siglo XIX, alentados por la burguesía local más rancia, reaccionaria y conservadora.
Explica Ramón y Cajal que «el movimiento desintegrador en Cataluña nació en 1900, y tuvo por causa principal, aunque no exclusiva, la pérdida irreparable del espléndido mercado colonial».
Abrir el comercio con las colonias de América, reservado en principio a la Corona de Castilla, a todos los territorios peninsulares, dio alas a la industria catalana.
Pero a España le salió muy caro, económica y militarmente, embarcarse en aventuras bélicas y medidas proteccionistas ruinosas para defender el textil catalán.
Y la pérdida de Cuba, Puerto Rico y Filipinas, sus últimas posesiones, hizo que el mercado español se quedara pequeño para los empresarios catalanes, perdiera interés para ellos, y aspiraran a volar por su cuenta.
Mientras, en el País Vasco, la proximidad de las minas de hierro y carbón, permitió al capital repatriado de ultramar fundar allí una poderosa industria metalúrgica.
Maquetos denominaron despectivamente sus habitantes a los obreros que acudían a trabajar a sus acerías, altos hornos y fundiciones.
La sociedad vasca rural sintió a esos advenedizos (y a las fábricas que los empleaban) como una amenaza a la forma de vida tradicional de los caseríos. Sabino Arana ,inventor de la ikurriña, hombre clerical, retrógrado donde los hubiera y xenófobo a ultranza, se aprestó a combatir esa plaga, afirmando que «un gran número de maketos dan testimonio inexcusable de la teoría de Darwin, pues más que hombres semejan simios poco menos bestias que el gorila: no busquéis en sus rostros expresion de inteligencia humana ni de virtud alguna; su mirada solo revela idiotismo y brutalidad…
El bizcaino es inteligente y hábil para toda clase de trabajos, mientras que el español es corto de inteligencia y carece de maña hasta para los trabajos más sencillos.
Un bizcaino hace en igual tiempo tanto como tres maquetos juntos.
El bizcaino es laborioso, el español, perezoso, vago, flojo y torpe.
El bizcaino es emprendedor y degenera si se roza con el extraño; el español en cambio, a nada se atreve, ni vale para nada.
El bizcaino que vive en las montañas, que es el verdadero bizcaino, es religioso; el español, impío (aquí en Sestao, todos los españoles, que no son pocos, son librepensadores)».
Discurso al que se abonan todos los nacionalismos y que, con ligeras variaciones, se repite hasta nuestros días.
Religión y raza caracterizan al nacionalismo vasco, tanto como cálculo e interés al catalán.
Los famosos RH y ADN únicos de los vascos de los que tanto se vanagloriaba el ex-lehendakari Arzallus, hunden sus raíces en lo más profundo de la prehistoria, y encuentran su réplica exacta en «el catalán más antiguo conocido que es un niño neandertal de 215.000 años de antigüedad” .
Que en cuestión de mitos los catalanes no iban a ser menos que los vascos, ni iba a ir por la edad de piedra un neandertal catalán sin señera, aunque todavía no se hubiera inventado la tela.
Relata Cambó en sus memorias, que el 15 de noviembre de 1918, en un contexto de fuertes movilizaciones obreras, Alfonso XIII le convocó como líder de la conservadora y catalanista Lliga Regionalista (predecesora de CIU) y le comentó: «Temo que haya un estallido revolucionario en Catalunya y que los obreros se unan a los soldados. Hay que dar la autonomía a Cataluña inmediatamente. Es preciso que usted vaya a Barcelona a hacer un movimiento que distraiga a las masas de cualquier propósito revolucionario».
Dicho y hecho. Días después eran designados dirigentes de todos los partidos políticos para formar la comisión redactora del primer estatuto de autonomía catalán. Pablo Iglesias (el original, no la copia) advirtió a los políticos catalanes que si entraban en esa comisión, desligaban a Cataluña de la causa de la República, entendida ésta como proyecto social de izquierdas, y Lluis Companys y otros líderes catalanes se negaron a formar parte de la misma, entendiendo que, efectivamente, se trataba de cambiar autonomía por monarquía y de postergar las luchas populares por una sociedad más justa y democrática. ix
Las dos dictaduras militares que España padeció a lo largo del siglo XX: la de Primo de Rivera de 1923 a 1929, prolongación del pistolerismo de la patronal catalana 5), y la de Franco de 1939 a 1975), instigadas por sectores de las derechas catalana y vasca para frenar a un movimiento obrero cada vez más fuerte y cohesionado, sirvieron para potenciar sus industrias respectivas al instaurar un régimen autárquico que no permitía huelgas ni competencia con el exterior, pero la implacable represión desencadenada contribuyó a generar un profundo sentimiento de desafección popular.
La revancha de los nacionalismos periféricos llegaría con la democracia, haciendo creer a los más jóvenes, entre otras cosas, que la Guerra Civil española había sido de nuevo una guerra de España contra Cataluña, en la que sus clases dirigentes ni participaron ni se lucraron.
La instauración del régimen autonómico obró el prodigio de transformar de repente a las regiones españolas en naciones, y que, por simple mimetismo, oportunismo y espíritu de imitación, los independentismos proliferasen como setas, aunque los ya consolidados, mantuvieran su hegemonía.
La diversidad pasó de ser la mayor riqueza del país, a convertirse en su talón de Aquiles de alto voltaje emocional, y presa de un entusiasmo desbordante y un estado de exaltación propio de la champions, la sociedad nacionalista catalana se echó a las carreteras como quien va al paraíso, para reivindicar la independencia.
Una vez más se demostraba que el dinero mueve más montañas que la fe, y que lo que la televisión une, no lo separa nadie.
También ese día, infinidad de españoles, ignorantes de que el proyecto independentista catalán llevaba 35 años cociéndose e incubándose sigilosamente en la sombra, con un perfil discreto, lo suficientemente bajo como para no llamar la atención ni asustar a nadie, despertaron bruscamente a la realidad.
La estrategia nacionalista de ir conquistando gradualmente parcelas de poder, de forma lenta y soterrada, pero inexorable, demostraba su acierto frente a la estrategia violenta del independentismo vasco, que solo había conseguido provocar el rechazo general y atraer sobre sí todos los focos.
Quien siembra, cosecha, y la ingente y callada labor de D. Jordi Pujol, fundador de Convergencia Democrática de Cataluña y Presidente de la Generalitat de 1980 a 2003, comenzaba a dar sus frutos.
Como autor y padre de la criatura, el mérito de la secesión le corresponde a él y justo es reconocérselo. xi
Aunque el gran timonel debería haber ido a la cárcel en 1982 por el caso Banca Catalana, entidad de la que había sido cofundador, vicepresidente y consejero ejecutivo, cuando la fiscalía presentó una querella criminal solicitando 12 años de prisión para él por causar un agujero patrimonial de 20.000 millones de pesetas, llevar una doble contabilidad en negro, incurrir en apropiación indebida, maquinación para alterar el precio de las cosas, desvío de fondos, falsedad de documentación mercantil, etc.; finalmente salió absuelto por la Audiencia de Barcelona (como es norma en España hacer con los políticos imputados), con el voto en contra de 8 magistrados, pese a reconocerse la veracidad de los hechos imputados.
Y si los depositantes lograron recuperar su dinero, no fue gracias a la actuación «imprudente y desastrosa de sus directivos», como la calificó el auto de sobreseimiento, sino al estado español que se hizo cargo de la factura del desaguisado.
De casta le venía al galgo. Su padre Florenci Pujol, había hecho fortuna con el franquismo, que le condenó por evasión de capitales a Suiza en 1959, el mismo año en que adquirió la Banca Dorca para reconvertirla en Banca Catalana, junto con su hijo Jordi y otros socios, con la idea de hacer de ella el banco catalán por excelencia, cosa que, la nefasta gestión de éste, malogró. Cuentas de Suiza y Andorra, no empañan la inmaculada hoja de servicios de nuestro insigne prócer, aunque los escándalos se sucedieran sin descanso y fueran la tónica habitual de su régimen y del partido construido a su imagen y semejanza:
• Caso Casinos (1992, desvío de fondos por valor de 18 millones de euros),
• Planasdemunt (1994, el que fuera consejero de Economía y Finanzas de la Generalitat y también director del Instituto Catalán de Finanzas, condenado a 7 años de prisión por un fraude de 35 millones de euros con pagarés falsos),
• Prenafeta (Secretario de Presidencia y mano derecha de Pujol, imputado en 1990 y de nuevo en 1996 por usar su cargo para desviar dinero a empresas suyas),
• Caso Cullell (1994, dimisión por corrupción),
• Caso Roma (1995, dimisión por corrupción),
• Macíá Alavedra (1997, segundo de a bordo del gobierno de Pujol durante 7 años, evasión y blanqueo de 7 millones de euros a paraísos fiscales),
• Pallerols (1997, 9 millones), • Ferrocarriles (2008, malversación de 2,7 millones de euros y 4 años de cárcel para dos directivos),
• Millet/ Palau (2009, desfalco de 35 millones de euros),
• Pretoria (2009, fraude por corrupción urbanística de 44 millones de euros, de nuevo con Prenafeta y Maciá Alavedra como artistas invitados),
• Parc Central (2012, pero que se remonta a los años 90, pelotazo inmobiliario de 5 millones de euros, con 15 años de instrucción y 26 jueces diferentes, record mundial hasa la fecha),
• Instituto Catalán de Salud (pagos irregulares, favores políticos, sobrecostes y adjudicaciones sin concurso),
• Hospital Santa Pau, etcétera, etcetera.
Apenas la punta del iceberg del famoso 3% de peaje a pagar para obtener adjudicaciones públicas en la Administración Catalana: práctica mafiosa denunciada por el Presidente Maragall en el Parlamento, sobre la que inmediatamente se corrió un pudoroso y tupido velo de silencio.
Y la estirpe no decae, la saga continúa y los hijos han salido tan avispados como el padre y el abuelo para los negocios; el primogénito, Jordi junior, llegó a tener hasta 20 coches antiguos de época, como Lamborghinis, Ferraris y otros, escondidos en una nave del polígono industrial Vilapou, además de cuentas en Suiza, resorts y hoteles de lujo en Sudámerica; su ex Mercé Gironés, efectuó inversiones de más de 23 millones de euros en diversas sociedades; Pere Pujol hizo fortuna con las licencias de parques eólicos; Oriol Pujol lo intentó con las de ITV; y Oleguer, el benjamín, compró en 2008 los inmuebles del Grupo Prisa en Madrid y Barcelona por 300 millones de euros a través de Drago Capital, y por 2.084 millones de euros 1.152 oficinas del banco de Santander con dinero procedente de paraísos fiscales.
Como se puede apreciar hay de sobra para que ninguno sus descendientes se pelee, ni pase dificultades o estrecheces o tenga que trabajar jamás en su vida.
Y todo dentro de la ley, como debe ser.
A ver qué familia mejora eso.
Ni los Corleone. El gran amor de los Pujol a Cataluña no tiene precio… ¿o sí?
