We have spent decades in Cordoba waiting for the miracle to happen: for two administrations to agree and create a stable framework of collaboration and financing to care for and maintain the Guadalquivir River in a stable manner. Like these impossible state pacts. We have been complaining for decades about the insane accumulation of vegetation, bad smells, dirt and a liveliness outside and inside the river bed that gives it the prominence we lack. The classic “Córdoba lives with its back to the river” makes the “river that passes with its back to Córdoba” more realistic. With a sort of green and imaginary wall in which the story of his Heraclitian being escapes us in a flash when we try to catch him forever. We saw floods, floods and rickety trickles of water that left the seams and foundations of. the Roman bridge. And a series of irregular actions to clean and clean the Sotos de la Albolafia or clear the channel that depended on the government in place, on budgets, on the coincidence of political acronyms or on the greater or lesser citizen complaint. The mayor just announced a meeting. with the Guadalquivir Hydrographic Confederation to conclude, precisely, a framework agreement that establishes the dredging of sludge, cleaning and maintenance of one of our main assets. Offer money to the inhabitants of Cordoba to carry out the work on the ivory tower of the basin entities. In reference to a Dantesque episode like that of Valencia and the toads that appear in the drawers, like the one recalled by ABC on the four streams of the Sierra which have been waiting for more than a decade to be channeled to avoid the flooding of eight neighborhoods of Córdoba and all that, plus some issues like the burying of the Guadalmellato canal, this is what the mayor wants to put on the table to distribute the tasks and establish a long-term bill. It seems like a worthy endeavor, although looking at Valencia, or without going any further, Los Pedroches, believe me for a long time, friend Sancho.
