\"Juan<\/a><\/p>\n

Claudia Constantino<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Cr\u00f3nicas urgentes<\/em><\/p>\n

Vaya esta columna a manera de reconocimiento post mortem para Don Juan Simbr\u00f3n M\u00e9ndez, a un a\u00f1o de su partida y ante el olvido en que lo han enterrado, a falta de presupuesto y justicia.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCuando era ni\u00f1o nunca quise ser otra cosa que volador: subir al palo y con el permiso del Dios sol y los cuatro puntos cardinales, lanzarme en vuelo\u201d, me cont\u00f3 Juan Simbr\u00f3n un d\u00eda hace cinco a\u00f1os.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPero mi nana (mam\u00e1) me lo prohibi\u00f3 bien pronto. Cuidadito y te veo que subes al palo volador, me dec\u00eda. En el suelo lo que quieras: bailar, cuidar el palo o las cosas de los voladores y el caporal; nada de subirse. No ves que si te vienes abajo te mueres r\u00e1pido\u201d, continu\u00f3 platic\u00e1ndome Don Juan.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAs\u00ed que me hice bailar\u00edn y tocaba el viol\u00edn bonito y cantaba como los mism\u00edsimos p\u00e1jaros\u201d, me presume.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

M\u00e1s de noventa a\u00f1os despu\u00e9s de esas andanzas, Juan Simbr\u00f3n contaba sus sue\u00f1os frustrados de la infancia y las muchas haza\u00f1as que s\u00ed consigui\u00f3 vivir, luchando desde joven por ayudar a su pueblo a salir de la marginaci\u00f3n y el atraso.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

El pasado jueves al mediod\u00eda llegu\u00e9 a la casa del llamado Tata Juan, mientras llov\u00eda. El fr\u00edo amenaza con no dejarlo curarse del todo de la pulmon\u00eda que reci\u00e9n ha padecido.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Ya no quiere que los m\u00e9dicos que le manda el gobierno lo revisen; tampoco quiere tomarse el medicamento que lo har\u00e1 sanar.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Llama a Francisco, su nieto consentido, quien ha sido como un hijo porque lo cri\u00f3 desde muy peque\u00f1o. Le pide todo lo que necesita, que ya es muy poco.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Ha dicho que pase; el aviso me sorprende y entro a verlo. Nos conocimos y trabajamos juntos en un proyecto. Me da instrucciones, termina pendientes; todo tiene que ver con su pueblo.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Se despide y es para siempre. Me conf\u00eda que falta tanto por hacer; que se qued\u00f3 corto; que lo que hizo no alcanza; que su gente necesita mucho m\u00e1s para sobrevivir.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Ha elegido cu\u00e1ndo y d\u00f3nde morir. Es la primera persona que conozco que le ha abierto la puerta a la muerte y la ha invitado a pasar. La muerte para nada lo ha sorprendido esta ma\u00f1ana. Se eleva tranquila, pac\u00edficamente, del mismo modo como fue su lucha en favor del pueblo totonaco durante toda su vida adulta.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Juan Simbr\u00f3n nunca fue volador de Papantla por cumplir la voluntad de su madre que tuvo miedo a perderlo de ese modo. Supli\u00f3 sus ganas de volar convirti\u00e9ndose en un personaje de la pol\u00edtica local, estatal, nacional y hasta internacional. Es el totonaco que ha volado m\u00e1s alto en aras de ganar un sitio en este mundo para su pueblo.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Hoy el totonacapan est\u00e1 de luto, y a lo largo y ancho de su territorio, los hijos del trueno esperan ver el \u00faltimo vuelo de su \u201cpaloma blanca\u201d. Su legado queda. Sus ense\u00f1anzas y su luz.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
