Cuándo te encarcelaban por ser homosexual en España
BOOKS OF THE WORLD | Dystopia: A Journey to the Apocalypse
Hello, how are you? Welcome to this podcast, from the Canary Islands to the world, when it's...
Today I'm opening a book that isn't on any bookshelf: the one that is written with each page that transforms us. We travel the world in search of new stories, because reading is crossing borders without a passport. And each story is a cultural compass.
I don't know if you like science fiction. I don't. Perhaps because it makes us reflect on a future that seems worse than it is now.
One of the resources used for this is dystopia, a vision, often apocalyptic. It's a term commonly used in film, literature, and philosophy, formed from the Greek words dys- (“bad” or “difficult”) and topos (“place”). It's used as the antonym of utopia, that feeling that makes us happy, in which we no longer think about problems.
If this literary journey inspired you, recommend it. And if you have a book that changed your life, tell us about it. Until the next episode!

Minors and Youth and Far Right
Hello, how are you? Welcome to this podcast, from the Canary Islands to the world.
This episode isn't comfortable. It doesn't intend to be. Today I open pages that many would like to close: dictatorships that crushed voices, crimes hidden under flags, silences that still scream. You will listen fragments of memory, and analyses that make you uncomfortable. Because to remember is to resist. Because forgetting is also violence.
What leads a minor today to join the far right? Because in the 1930s, when they were forced into the Hitler Youth, they didn't have social media as a reference point, and they didn't know the risks, but today everything is learned technologically.
Again: what leads a minor today to join the far right? Before it was out of obligation; now the excuse is disillusionment. Sometimes I think it's boredom. And I don't believe they're any more like their grandparents, some of whom also suffered under a dictatorship.
I think the problem lies in the education system, in its failure to promote debate and critical thinking, instead offering the same tedious lectures I've endured, but they swallow it all.
If this story resonated with you, please share it. If you believe there's something that shouldn't be silenced, write to me. We'll talk again in the next episode.
HISTORIAS DESDE EL HORROR | Menores de edad y jóvenes ¿ de extrema-derecha?
Hola, ¿qué tal? bienvenidos a Conviviendo entre Culturas, desde Canarias para el mundo.
Este episodio no es cómodo. No pretende serlo. Hoy abro las páginas que muchos quisieran cerrar: dictaduras que aplastaron voces, crímenes que se escondieron bajo banderas, silencios que aún gritan. Escucharás fragmentos de memoria y análisis que incomodan. Porque recordar es resistir. Porque el olvido también es violencia.
¿Qué lleva a un menor de edad, en la actualidad a adscribirse a la extrema derecha? Porque en los años 30, cuando acababan , por obligación en la Juventudes Hitlerianas, no tenían redes sociales como referencia, y no conocían los riesgos, pero hoy todo se aprende tecnológicamente hablando.
De nuevo: ¿qué lleva a un menor de edad, en la actualidad a adscribirse a la extrema derecha? Antes era por obligación; ahora la excusa es el desencanto. A veces pienso que es aburrimiento. Y no me creo que se parezcan más a sus abuelos, quienes , algunos también sufrieron una dictadura.
Pienso que el problema está en el sistema educativo, en no promover el debate, el pensamiento crítico, con charlas ñoñas que he sufrido, pero todo se lo tragan.
Si esta historia te removió, compártela. Si crees que hay algo que no debe callarse, escríbeme. Nos escuchamos en el próximo episodio.

Hallo, wie geht es Ihnen? Willkommen zu diesem Podcast, von den Kanarischen Inseln in die Welt.
Diese Folge ist nicht angenehm. Und das soll sie auch nicht sein. Heute schlage ich Kapitel auf, die viele lieber schließen würden: Diktaturen, die Stimmen zum Schweigen brachten, Verbrechen, die unter Flaggen verborgen wurden, Schweigen, das noch immer schreit. Sie werden Erinnerungsfetzen und Analysen hören, die verstörend sind. Denn Erinnern bedeutet Widerstand. Denn Vergessen ist auch Gewalt.
Was bringt einen Jugendlichen heute dazu, sich der extremen Rechten anzuschließen? In den 1930er-Jahren, als sie in die Hitlerjugend gezwungen wurden, gab es keine sozialen Medien als Bezugspunkt, und sie kannten die Risiken nicht. Heute hingegen lernt man alles digital.
Noch einmal: Was bringt einen Jugendlichen heute dazu, sich der extremen Rechten anzuschließen? Früher geschah es aus Pflichtgefühl; heute ist die Ausrede Desillusionierung. Manchmal denke ich, es ist Langeweile. Und ich glaube nicht, dass sie ihren Großeltern ähnlicher sind, von denen einige ebenfalls unter einer Diktatur gelitten haben.
Ich glaube, das Problem liegt im Bildungssystem. Es fördert weder Debatten noch kritisches Denken, sondern bietet immer noch dieselben langweiligen Vorlesungen an, die ich selbst schon ertragen musste – und die alles einfach schlucken.
Wenn dich diese Geschichte angesprochen hat, teile sie bitte. Wenn du glaubst, dass es etwas gibt, das nicht verschwiegen werden sollte, schreib mir. Wir sprechen in der nächsten Folge wieder darüber.
Bonjour, comment allez-vous ? Bienvenue dans ce podcast, des îles Canaries au monde entier.
Cet épisode est dérangeant. Il ne l'est pas. Aujourd'hui, j'ouvre des pages que beaucoup voudraient refermer : des dictatures qui ont étouffé les voix, des crimes dissimulés sous des drapeaux, des silences qui résonnent encore. Vous entendrez des fragments de mémoire et d'analyse troublants. Car se souvenir, c'est résister. Car oublier, c'est aussi une forme de violence.
Qu'est-ce qui pousse un mineur aujourd'hui à rejoindre l'extrême droite ? Parce que dans les années 1930, lorsqu'ils étaient enrôlés de force dans les Jeunesses hitlériennes, ils n'avaient pas les réseaux sociaux comme point de repère et ils ignoraient les risques. Aujourd'hui, tout s'apprend grâce à la technologie.
Encore une fois : qu'est-ce qui pousse un mineur aujourd'hui à rejoindre l'extrême droite ? Avant, c'était par obligation ; maintenant, c'est la désillusion. Parfois, je pense que c'est l'ennui. Et je ne crois pas qu'ils ressemblent plus à leurs grands-parents, dont certains ont eux aussi souffert sous une dictature.
Je pense que le problème réside dans le système éducatif, dans son incapacité à promouvoir le débat et la pensée critique, au lieu de proposer les mêmes cours fastidieux que j'ai endurés, mais ils avalent tout.
Si cette histoire vous a interpellé, partagez-la. Si vous pensez qu'il y a quelque chose qui ne devrait pas être passé sous silence, écrivez-moi. Nous en reparlerons dans le prochain épisode.

El racismo viaja en barco
Inaudito: en el barco de pasajeros entre islas han cubierto los asientos con plásticos para las personas migrantes que son trasladadas de isla a isla.
Curiosamente, solo lo hace para ellos, esté decir, la gente, quien sea puede ir de fiesta a los carnavales, sin pernoctar, sudando, llena de purpurina, con resaca, posiblemente vomite, pero no, la empresa sólo lo hace por los migrantes, que tras llegar, pasan un triaje sanitario.
Pero hay que recordarle a Fred Olsen, la naviera, que la hemeroteca no engaña ni olvida, porque en 2006, en plena crisis migratoria, literalmente se negó con un argumento llamativo, después de las palabras del Gerente de Servicios Sanitarios del Área de Salud de El Hierro de la época:
…“presumiblemente ninguno de ellos padece enfermedad tuberculosa, pudiendo proceder a su traslado por cualquier medio de transporte. No obstante, se recomienda adoptar las medidas universales de protección frente a las enfermedades infecto contagiosas (guantes y mascarillas) tanto a los inmigrantes como el personal encargado de su traslado…”. (2006)
Sí. Es racismo, si ya pones en duda el triaje sanitario puesto en marcha en el muelle por el operativo de Cruz Roja
Unbelievable: on the inter-island passenger ferry, they've covered the seats with plastic for the migrants being transported from island to island.
Curiously, they only do this for them. I mean, other people, anyone, can go partying at the carnivals, without staying overnight, sweating, covered in glitter, hungover, possibly even vomiting, but no, the company only does this for the migrants, who undergo a health screening upon arrival.
But Fred Olsen, the shipping company, needs to be reminded that the archives don't lie or forget, because in 2006, at the height of the migration crisis, they literally refused with a striking argument, following the words of the Health Services Manager of the El Hierro Health Area at the time:
…“presumably none of them suffer from tuberculosis, and they can be transferred by any means of transport. However, it is recommended that universal protective measures against infectious diseases (gloves and masks) be adopted by both the migrants and the personnel in charge of their transfer…”. (2006)
Yes. It is racism, if you are already questioning the health triage implemented at the dock by the Red Cross operation.

MIGRANT LIVES | Reinterpreting Some Words
Hello, how are you? Welcome to this podcast, from the Canary Islands to the world.
In this episode, I talk about lives or experiences that defy distance, language, and fear. Migrants who left behind the familiar to embrace the unknown. You will listen stories of everyday courage, of human beings reinventing their world, of young people transforming rejection into strength. Because migrating isn't just about moving: it's about rebuilding.
Trying to influence the beliefs of the audience, watching a discussion or debate we participate in, is exhausting, but there's a foolproof trick to silence hate speech: use your opponent's discourse to your advantage. This is how, by reframing insults, we stifle hatred. An example? The word "queer" was once one of the biggest insults you could hurl at a gay person, but the LGBTQA+ PLUS community now uses it to refer to non-binary people or "Black," which, unfortunately, had negative connotations, but has been reclaimed as a source of pride.
Thank you for joining us on this journey of humanity and resilience. If this story resonated with you, please share it. And if you have a story to tell, write to me. Until the next episode!
