Nuestra querida alcaldesa, ha decidido dejar Madrid sin muchos de sus \u00e1rboles m\u00e1s emblem\u00e1ticos, entendemos en un intento dram\u00e1tico de eliminar un problemilla de peligrosidad p\u00fablica<\/a>, surgido despu\u00e9s de muchos a\u00f1os de total desinter\u00e9s municipal por el patrimonio verde de la ciudad.<\/p>\n

A menos de 2 meses de las elecciones municipales, y desahuciada pol\u00edticamente, parece conveniente hacer recaer sobre sus hombros la responsabilidad de semejante atropello<\/a>, dejando libre de culpa a la siguiente candidata, a la que seguro escuchamos decir en su campa\u00f1a que esta tala masiva ha sido un grave error de su antecesora y que ella no puede hacerse responsable.<\/p>\n

Entre unas cosas y otras, se van a llevar a cabo 1.439 talas en todo Madrid, que ya se han materializado en el eje Eje Prado-Recoletos. Empezaron en Semana Santa, en un Madrid vaci\u00f3 y con una diligencia sorprendente, para lo que nos tienen acostumbrados nuestros servicios municipales. Han cortado e inmediatamente retirado de la vista 297 \u00e1rboles centenarios de este eje principal de la ciudad y ahora est\u00e1n arrancando los restos de troncos mutilados, para que en pocos d\u00edas no quede rastro. Menos mal que el fot\u00f3grafo Jose Manuel Ballester <\/a>nos ha dejado una documentaci\u00f3n<\/a> de lo m\u00e1s elocuente.<\/p>\n

Indignados, para no variar, con nuestros pol\u00edticos locales, salimos de urgencia la noche del pasado jueves con nuestras luces, para llevar a cabo una intervenci\u00f3n que llamara la atenci\u00f3n de los transe\u00fantes trasnochadores, sobre los ya escasos restos de la masacre.<\/p>\n

1.000 palitos fluorescentes de color rojo nos sirvieron para simular cruces con las que construimos peque\u00f1os altares funerarios a lo largo del Eje Recoletos. Intervinimos unos 20 \u00e1rboles talados, de los cuales algunos aun conservaban parte del tronco, y otros hab\u00edan ya desaparecido totalmente, encontr\u00e1ndonos en su lugar tierra fresca que ocultaba el vac\u00edo dejado por tan nobles ra\u00edces.<\/p>\n

Mientras trabaj\u00e1bamos, percibimos un inusitado despliegue policial de coches peinando la zona, reforzado con una impresionante presencia de helic\u00f3pteros que reforzaban la vigilancia por el aire e incrementaban el clima agobiante e intranquilizador.<\/p>\n

Con esta modesta intervenci\u00f3n que hemos llamado Cruces rojas sobre cementerio verde<\/strong><\/span>, queremos contribuir a difusi\u00f3n a un acto tan irresponsable que va a quedar impune, a pesar de que atenta peligrosamente contra el paisaje de la ciudad y que se suma a una larga lista de atentados patrimoniales llevados a cabo por el Ayuntamiento siguiendo una estrategia de tierra quemada, previa a las elecciones. La intenci\u00f3n:\u00a0pon\u00e9rselo dif\u00edcil a los que entren a gobernar y dejar el patrimonio privatizado y repartido estrat\u00e9gicamente, a precio de saldo.<\/p>\n

Muchas gracias a nuestros queridos amigos MariBlu, Monta\u00f1a, Pablo, y Alex por la gran ayuda que nos prestaron, siempre desinteresadamente.<\/p>\n

Las im\u00e1genes son de Pablo Mart\u00ednez Mu\u00f1iz<\/a>, un placer trabajar con \u00e9l.<\/p>\n

Tiempo de trabajo e instalaci\u00f3n: 9 horas.
\nDa\u00f1os ocasionados: 0.
\nPermanencia de la intervenci\u00f3n: 6 horas.<\/em><\/p>\n

———————————<\/p>\n

Our dear mayor has set her mind on leaving Madrid without many of its most emblematic trees. We take this decision as an attempt to get rid of a tiny public hazard<\/a>,<\/strong> which has come about after many years of complete idleness on the part of Madrid’s city hall as regards the city’s green areas.<\/p>\n

As the next municipal election is just two months away and the current city’s mayor is politically doomed, it seems quite convenient to put all the responsibility for such outrage<\/a><\/strong> on her shoulders, thus acquitting the next candidate of all blame who, on the other hand, will most likely say during her campaign that such massive logging was her predecessor’s mistake so she cannot hold herself accountable for it.<\/p>\n

Be it as it may, 1,439 trees are going to be chopped down all over Madrid, an event which has already materialized in the Prado-Recoletos axis. They started in Easter as Madrid was empty. They carried out the work with such diligence as we have never seen before from our municipal services. In no time, they cut and removed 297 centennial trees from this main city axis and now they are pulling out the remains of the mutilated trunks so there will be no trace left of them in a few days. Luckily, photographer Jose Manuel Ballester<\/a><\/strong><\/span> has left us a quite eloquent record<\/a><\/strong> of it.<\/p>\n

Outraged at our local politicians, as usual, we headed out with our lights last Thursday night to carry out an intervention which shall draw the attention of night dwellers to the scarce remains of the massacre.<\/p>\n

We used 1,000 red fluorescent sticks to make the crosses with which we built small funeral altars all along the Recoletos Axis. We intervened around 20 cut trees some of which still had part of their trunk; the others had completely disappeared so we just found the fresh soil that disguised the empty space left by their majestic roots.<\/p>\n

While we were working, we noticed an unusual number of police patrolling nonstop. This sensation was enhanced by the shocking presence of helicopters that flew the area creating an oppressive, unsettling atmosphere.<\/p>\n

With this modest intervention, that we have called Red crosses on a green graveyard<\/span>, <\/strong>we want to contribute to\u00a0 raising awareness as regards such an irresponsible act which will go unpunished even though it is a dangerous attack against the city’s landscape. This is added to a long list of attacks against public property carried out by the City Hall following a scorched earth scheme prior to the election. The idea: to make it hard for those coming into office and leave public property privatized and strategically distributed at a cheap price.<\/p>\n

Many thanks to our dear friends\u00a0 MariBlu, Monta\u00f1a, Pablo, and Alex for their great, generous help.<\/p>\n

The photos were taken by Pablo Mart\u00ednez Mu\u00f1iz<\/a><\/strong><\/span>. Working with him is a real pleasure.<\/p>\n
