Fernando Jaúregui calls to “protest” and appeals to 15M in the face of “a world made up of crazy people” in the presentation of ‘Quemados’

The journalist and writer, Fernando Jaúregui, has called on the “burned people of the world” to “protest” against a “world governed by dangerous madmen” – in reference to Donald Trump, president of the United States – and has appealed to the spirit of the 15-M rallies to prevent both young people and older generations from resigning.

At the presentation of his book ‘Burned’ (Almuzara) held this Wednesday at the Ortega-Marañón Foundation, the author has admitted “a certain right” to be “burned” after the lack of aid after tragedies such as the Dana of Valencia in October 2024 or the fires that last summer burned “1% of the entire national territory.”

A list to which he has added “non-compliance”, “untruthfulness”, “lack of patriotism” and the decisions of rulers such as Donald Trump, president of the United States, after the attack on Iran and the threat to eliminate “a civilization.”

“In the United States the debate is not whether its president is crazy, everyone knows that he is. It is what kind of madness he has,” he said. And he has asked to “never throw in the towel”: “We cannot allow them to burn us, we have to get out of the burning,” said Jáuregui and has claimed the protest as a way of “being alive” in an event that was attended by the Ombudsman, Ángel Gabilondo, the senator of the Socialist Party Juan Lobato, and the former president of the Congress of Deputies Ana Pastor.

He has also paid “tribute” to journalists who not only “communicate with power” but also do “investigation” and “tell things that someone does not want to be told” despite suffering a “high personal cost.”

Finally, the journalist has highlighted the hope that his book will serve to “unravel some ‘fake news’ from which the different powers are bombing”, “put out some bonfires of the vanities of some of our leaders” and “normalize the dialogue between the two Spains”.
