Angelines Fernández llegó a México en el año de 1947 a través de una compañía de teatro (Foto: Especial)
Antes de enfundarse en su emblemático vestido azul y habitar el departamento con el número 71, la actriz Angelines Fernández decidió tomar las armas para luchar por su patria.
Según un comunicado de la CNT de España “siendo una jovencita, casi niña, era una combatiente revolucionaria, una mujer tan valiente que se jugó su vida durante casi diez años por la noble causa en ayudar a expulsar al tirano del gobierno”.
Palabras con sabor a justicia, pies cansados y miradas al suelo. La ciudadanía cuestiona, canta, grita sin cesar. Fueron años de oscuridad y represión, se exigían respuestas en las calles de España. Las cámaras de televisión enfocaban a una mujer de lucha y resistencia, su nombre: Angelines Fernández.
Antes de la fama y el glamour, existe una historia que muy pocos conocen sobre uno de los personajes más recordados de la Vecindad del Chavo. “Doña Clotilde”, esa mujer misteriosa que habitaba el departamento con el número 71, combatió la dictadura de Francisco Franco en la Guerrilla Republicana.
Angelines Fernández, con 25 años de edad y perseguida por el régimen, tuvo que huir de su natal Madrid en 1939, año en el que Franco ganó la guerra y comenzaron una serie de asesinatos.
Según cifras oficiales, el confilcto bélico dejó alrededor de 500 mil muertos y 100 mil desaparecidos. Aunque se estima que las cifras podrían ser superiores, pues aún se desconoce el paradero de muchas personas.
María de los Ángeles Fernández Abad, nacida el 9 de julio de 1924 y recordada por su eterno enamoramiento hacia “Don Ramón”, se unió a los movimientos obreros, sindicalistas, feministas y republicanos que combatían al bloque fascista que se postraba sobre Europa en ese entonces.
Con el apoyo bélico de Benito Mussolini en Italia y Adolf Hitler en Alemania, Franco se empeñó en censurar cualquier indicio de comunismo. Fue así que a muchos de los intelectuales, artistas, académicos y líderes sociales se les vio como enemigos en su propio país.
Incluso, Paloma Fernández, hija de Angelines Fernández, contó en entrevista sobre el pasado insurgente y antifascista de su madre.
¿A dónde se fue Doña Clotilde?
Lázaro Cárdenas, presidente de México de 1934 a 1940, le abrió las puertas a miles de españoles que buscaban refugio. Se estima que cerca de 25 mil personas vivieron el exilio en tierra azteca.
Angelines Fernández no llegó a México con los refugiados, sino a través de una compañía de teatro encabezada por María Guerrero en el año de 1947. Según palabras de su hija Paloma, Angelines Fernádez pasó un año en Cuba para que la pudieran nacionalizar mexicana.
Fue así como el destino de la actriz dio un giro de 180 grados y a través de su personaje de “La Bruja del 71” alcanzó la fama mundial. Además de sus papeles en los proyectos de “Chespirito”, también hizo obras de teatro y compartió pantalla con Mario Moreno “Cantinflas” en películas como “El Profe”.
A pesar de que sus ojos fueron testigos de la caída de Franco, Angelines decidó vivir sus últimos años en el país que le tendió la mano cuando más lo necesitaba.
Después de 23 años en el elenco de la vecindad de El Chavo, Fernández murió en 1994 víctima de un cáncer que la atormentó por varios años, producto de su adicción a los cigarrillos.

During the Sea Breeze exercise in 2022, Ukrainian border guards will train alongside other security forces of Ukraine, those of NATO Allies and partners in the sea, air, and land components.
This was discussed in Odesa at a planning conference for this year’s Ukrainian-American Sea Breeze military exercise….
***
The border guards noted that the Sea Breeze is constantly expanding in terms of components and participants.
Last year’s exercises were the largest in more than 20 years. They involved 32 vessels, 40 aircraft, and 5,000 troops representing 17 NATO allies and partners.
More than 60 nations and international organizations have been invited to participate in this year’s training, the ministry said.
Baltic states ask for more NATO troops on Belarusian, Russian bordersBaltic States ask NATO to increase number of troops on their territory Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia are asking NATO to increase the number of NATO troops deployed in their territory. They are negotiating about it as DW reported citing to Prime Minister of Estonia Kaja Kallas. In turn, one of the diplomats of the alliance, who wished to remain anonymous, said that the request of the Baltic States could be considered at a meeting of defense ministers of NATO in mid-February.Visit(opens in a new tab)Rick Rozoff,
Ukrainian deputy naval commander: If you want peace, prepare for warThe very expression used by Evelyn Farkas two days ago in an article transparently calling not for peace but war. Though she was able to procure the original Latin from someone: Si vis pacem, para bellum. Don’t be fool, neither she nor the Ukrainian naval official wants peace. ==== Russia could invade Ukraine from sea, – officerVisit(opens in a new tab)Rick Rozoff,
In October 2021, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) released a report that received barely any attention: the Global Multidimensional Poverty Index 2021, notably subtitled Unmasking disparities by ethnicity, caste, and gender. ‘Multidimensional poverty’ is a much more precise measurement of poverty than the international poverty line of $1.90 per day. It looks at ten indicators divided along three axes: health (nutrition, child mortality), education (years of schooling, school attendance), and standard of living (cooking fuel, sanitation, drinking water, electricity, housing, assets). The team studied multidimensional poverty across 109 countries, looking at the living conditions of 5.9 billion people. They found that 1.3 billion – one in five people – live in multidimensional poverty. The details of their lives are stark:
As suspected, now with sworn evidence. Furious at the Catalan rebellion,the fascist far right used a terrorist islamic cell they had set up under a pardoned Imam. The lavishly equipped gang was let loose in Catalonia to ”give the Catalans a scare” and hopefully prevent the Independence Referendum.
All this was known or strongly suspected already. Far right sources even gave dire warnings like “Spain can put up with a terrorist attack, but (Catalan) independence would be irrevocable”.Foreign Minister months before the 2017 and “From August things will start to happen”
Indeed but for an accidental explosion the terrorists could have killed hundreds.
Well there was a known connection between the CNI and the Imam who orchestrated the attacks and the Spanish government blocked any possibility of investigating this connection.
We have the 11M conspiracy (May 11 2004) 3 days before the general elections some guys bombed few trains early in the morning in Madrid killing lots of people, short story: government tried to lie about the bombing, they were about to win the elections, but they lost instead because they tried to manipulate the attack to make political gains, since then they pushed to convince the nation everything was a conspiracy against them. Ugly shit.
17A: Villarejo admits the Spanish Secret Police (CNI) let the Imam of Ripoll make a “scare in Catalonia”
The former commissioner of the National Police says he worked to fix the error of the former director of the body, who “miscalculated the consequences”
11/01/2022 – 14.34 Updated 11/01/2022 – 22.54 TOPIC:José Manuel Villarejo
Former National Police Commissioner José Manuel Villarejo says the CNI wanted to make “a small scare in Catalonia”, but “miscalculated the consequences” with the August 2017 attack in Barcelona and Cambrils. Villarejo said this in a new session of the trial for the Tandem case:
“I continued to work with the CNI until the last day. I was working with them to try to fix the mess of the famous attack of the Imam of Ripoll, which in the end was a serious mistake of Mr. Sanz Roldán, who went miscalculating the consequences to give Catalonia a little scare. “
A year ago, Villarejo had already explained that a very important source had warned of the risk of the attack, but that was not considered reliable.
According to Villarejo, there was a relationship between the Imam of Ripoll and the CNI before the attacks in Barcelona and Cambrils, and they let it happen.
The former commissioner has stated that he himself remained at the National Intelligence Center (CNI) until the last day to “try to fix the error” of the former director of this body, Félix Sanz Roldán.
In September 2019, the National High Court decided not to investigate the links between the Ripoll Imam and the CNI because he did not consider it necessary to clarify whether there was any connection between the alleged mastermind of the attacks in Barcelona and Cambrils and the intelligence service… Spanish license.
Following the attacks, there was a lack of coordination and disloyalty between the police forces, the exclusion of the Mossos d’Esquadra (the local Catalan police, later purged and controlled directly from Madrid) from both the CITCO (Center for Intelligence against Terrorism and Organized Crime), and Europol and the lack of information exchange.
The relationship between the CNI and Imam Abdelbaki es-Satty, the agent of radicalization, was locked in a commission of official secrets, waiting for more details to be revealed.
Villarejo has made these statements as a defendant in the trial for the Tandem case, which brings together three separate pieces of the macro-case against the ex-agent.
16 dead and 140 wounded
The Rambla and Cambrils bombings killed 16 people and injured 140 others. The first action, in Barcelona, took place in a mass shooting on the afternoon of August 17, 2017. The next morning, five terrorists ran over several people on the promenade of Cambrils and stabbed others.
According to the verdict, Imam Abdelbaki es-Satty had given orders on how to make the explosives.
The imam was said to be one of the members of the jihadist cell who died a day before the attacks due to an enormous explosion which levelled his Alcanar villa, his base of operations.
Es-Sati is considered the mastermind of the attacks and has been accused of being a confidant of the Spanish CNI, though proof has not been allowed in court.
The attacks backfired due to the massive pacific public reaction and the belief that they were instigated by the Spanish police. The Government resorted to importing thousands of riot police to physically prevent the Referendum, which also failed despite severe police brutality.
Not a single death has been attributed to it in South Africa,1 for example, where it was initially detected.2
Despite that, U.S. health authorities kept issuing warnings as if Omicron were the worst threat yet. The World Health Organization declared it a “variant of concern,” and countries around the world responded by reinstating lockdowns and other draconian measures.3
The Omicron Death That Wasn’t
Then, December 20, 2021, the death of a Houston, Texas, man was labeled an “Omicron variant-related” death,4 and Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo announced that “The Omicron variant of COVID-19 has arrived in full force,”5 necessitating raising the county’s COVID-19 threat level to “Level-2 Orange.”
As you can see in the video above, within hours, the U.S. press widely reported that the first death from the Omicron variant had occurred amid surging COVID cases. Senior contributor to Forbes, Bruce Y. Lee, and MSNBC senior producer Kyle Griffin reported the death as a “reinfection” of “an unvaccinated man who previously had COVID-19.”6
“Naturally, this case makes you wonder how much protection ‘natural immunity’ will even offer against the Omicron variant,” Lee wrote. “Important note for the unvaccinated who believe in ‘natural immunity,’” Griffin tweeted.7
There was only one problem. The man didn’t die “from” Omicron infection. He died having tested positive for the Omicron variant. Journalist Dan Cohen confirmed this December 21, 2021, in a phone conversation with Martha Marquez, who works with the Harris County Public Health department. Marquez confirmed that the man died WITH COVID, not from it — amazing the difference one simple word makes.
