The writer Luisgé Martín stars in these days the controversy for the complaint of Ruth Ortiz against the publication of his book ‘The Hate’, in which he tells the double crime of José Breton, giving voice to the murderer. To do this he maintained contacts and … He went to visit him in the Herrera de la Mancha prison. But this writer has A double story that can also be remembered today, so much as a literary creator and as manager associated with the PSOE government. Both races are relevant and they have shown their talent, since while climbing positions and influence in Spanish political progressivism, it has been able to create a remarkable literary work of recognized quality.
Luisgé Martín (Madrid 1962) arrived in politics as an advisor in the cabinet of the Minister of Culture of the Socialist Government between 2009 and 2011, Ángeles González-Sinde. He was always a relevant member of the cultural left and LGTBI groups, to which, on the other hand, he gives voice in books such as the essay ‘The love of the setback’ and novels such as ‘One Hundred Nights’, Herralde Award. He also won the Vargas Llosa Award for ‘The teeth of chance’, the Antonio Machado train award of the Spanish Railway Foundation for ‘The Happy Years’ and the Gomez de la Serna for ‘The death of Tadzio’.
When Pedro Sánchez He arrived in the government called Luisgé Martín to his team of advisors from La Moncloa for an important position. There he had the commission of Write the president’s speeches During the so -called ‘beautiful government’ and also “making cultural lobby” as he has sometimes confessed. During those years he also had a very leading role in the networks, for example in Support for the leftist radicalization of the feminist movement In the manifestations of the 8-M in which members of Citizens suffered harassment, insults and salivazos when Podemos and the PSOE still made the march united (before the policy with the trans collective broke that unit).
His profile as an activist leaves no doubt, and has participated in the debates of recent years, for example, in Trans Law support and with arguments against romantic love. In literary interviews he does not reject his relationship with power, as he said to ‘El Confidencial’, which is a very complicated reality that must be known, and took the opportunity to launch a diatribe against the opposition parties: «And in that sense The world of politics has its sewersin Spain specifically the right still has a huge path to go in what has to do with loyalty to the country and not to interest, to a position or that will to govern ».
Shortly after passing through Pedro Sánchez’s team in La Moncloa, he was destined to Direct the new center of the Cervantes de Los Angeles Institutewhose creation was announced by the government president himself in a visit to the city. That is why, when Luisgé Martín ended up imposing nine candidates to lead the new center, there was no lack of voices that joined their past position as an advisor and the new destination announced by Sánchez himself. He had to be the director of Cervantes, Luis García Montero, who left these comments when he declared that, without a doubt, Luisgé Martín was the best candidate who had appeared for the position.
All this takes on new relevance now, knowing that, during his years as director of Cervantes de los Ángeles, Luisgé Martín prepared and maintained contacts with José Bretonin his role as writer to hunt a new story for the book of controversy. The visit to the Herrera de la Mancha prison also happened during his mandate.
Precisely, last December, Cervantes had to recognize that Luisgé Martín left his post and pointed out that the reason for his departure (there is not yet relief) was related to new personal projects. In view of what happened this week, with the controversy for publication and complaint against ‘Hate’, it can be concluded that this statement was also A damage control tactics Given the issues that the departure of his new book was going to raise, for a public office of the most powerful cultural institute in Spain.
Or maybe it had nothing to do and, simply, it will undertake a new professional stage, of which we still do not know. Today, after days avoiding making statements, Luisgé Martín has made his own statement public, in which he defends himself from criticism and once again claims his right to publish this book. The only issue that does not appear in your text and we still do not have is the answer to Why did she not want to know the Ruth Ortiz version In this regard before finishing his book. This may be the greatest of the options that the author has granted to those who criticize the book.
