" Precisely, Millet says in court tomorrow, along with his deputy Montull Bagur Jordi (Barcelona, \u200b\u200b1942: Thursday turned 67). Montull was made to bring in a Mercedes S400. He'd played only 20% of the loot. The boss took the rest.
More than believe that Palau was his home, Felix Millet felt it was, it's different. Great-nephew of the composer Lluís Millet, Amadeu Vives founder with the Orfeo Catala (1891), grandson and son presidents of the organization, access to office in 1978, succeeding Anton gallery owner Joan Maragall (son of the poet's uncle, Pasqual) was written in Catalan Mendel's laws.
Fourth of five children, was educated in the Jesuit school and also frequented Virtèlia, Jordi Pujol, Miquel Roca and Pasqual Maragall, "but never was a good student. He took off his agricultural expertise during the next decade and cut his teeth in the former African colony of Fernando Poo, one of the many businesses of the parent, it specifically dedicated to the production of cocoa and bananas.
It was a nothing company wide nuclear holding financial (Banco Popular) and insurance (Chasyr) Maristany Felix Millet (1903-1967), a fervent Catholic and Catalan, which during the war fled to Franco's side with more than enough arguments: the same July 18, 1936 a picket had gone to seek to give the little walk.
Maristany In 1961 he co-founded Millet Notable Cultural Òmnium entity of local resistance that never gave Josep Pla Prize of Honour of Catalan Letters ... By Franco spy! Albert
Boadella splendidly portrayed in one of his best mounts, the schizophrenia of this generation of Catalanists Franco / antifrancoist on which democratic nationalism always went back on tiptoe, basically because belied the story of the confrontation between "Catalan" (good ) and "English" (bad). But back to our man in Guinea.
Upon his return, Millet completed business studies and in 1978, has already been said, became president of Orfeo, but the key date maledetto current imbroglio is not that, but 1983. That year had serious problems with the law.
Accused of fraud by management in Income Catalana, a holding company subsidiary of Banca Catalana, was remanded in custody for a few weeks, but the trial finally sentenced to a lesser penalty, administrative negligence. In the case
were involved Catalan Minority Members Joaquim Molins, whose brother Pau is the defender of Millet, and Josep Maria Trias de Bes, who eluded the bench for his parliamentary status.
Well, the year after this whole ugly business, Pasqual Maragall, the then mayor of Barcelona, \u200b\u200bJordi Pujol, president of the Generalitat, old friends of the resistance, agreed to appoint responsible for the public consortium created in 1981 to come to the rescue of the ailing Orfeo and its historic headquarters, which fell apart. Probably
Thus arose the sense of impunity that accompanies the big crooks. And it was the best Millet, the seductive capacity to mobilize efforts, adding layers, to motivate the "400 families of Barcelona", by his own definition, are always in places that really count: the stands of Barca , academia and the Liceo Equestrian the advisory board of the Caixa, the board of G-16-the the business lobby more consolidated, and a score of boards, chief among them the Mutual Association, which has recently resigned.
From all these concentric circles and intersections that create network, Millet was accumulating public recognition: Llave de Oro City, the Creu de Sant Jordi, some claim that back - why?, " Obama also return the Nobel? - or the distinction granted a year ago a group of entrepreneurs in a ceremony presided over by José Montilla, times change, but not much, and the Minister of Culture, Cesar Antonio Molina, the award was titled with a prophetic sense, Citizen Honor us. A winner, come on. But a winner in Barcelona, \u200b\u200bit's something special .(...)
not the money for this reform was his. Mostly it had given Jose Maria Aznar when he ruled with CiU, some 15 million euros. Why are you surprised now that Millet was named patron of Catalunya Futur, Catalan branch of the FAES? Is the minimum courtesy.(...) In the office was always friendly with the employees, never forget to ask about their families. Each festival of Sant Jordi, the staff received a seedling and Christmas had a dinner with draw. A family business with continuity assured: his daughters Laila and Clara, and Gemma Montull, chief financial officer of the entity, the daughter of his partner.
is, Millet's fault, but perhaps not all the blame, as suggested by the elites who overestimated. Has had a political and economic society that gave him wings and he had extended the phrase "Go to see Millet."
The Àngel Colom spoke candidly today Convergència militant, when admitted to having received aid from Palau (72,000 euros) to settle the Partit per botched the independence that had led years ago. He did not say who advised him to go to that window.
In any event, the generosity of Millet was no secret. Trias Fargas Foundation (CDC) put the bucket and took 630,000 euros between 1999 and 2008 for alleged cultural activities. By 2002, there was an anonymous complaint to the Treasury, and also a report of the Audit Office had detected anomalies. Nothing was done. Courtesy.
historian Joan-Lluís Marfany has thoroughly investigated the Catalan culture, forged in the decades straddling the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and has discovered a repeated structure made of layers around a nucleus that is the idea romantic country. A country that can not be explained, but only live.
modernists considered themselves men "fattening" of the onion in the double meaning of vegetable and obsession. But the forms this structure took over the twentieth century were varied: the rose, pineapple, artichoke Dalí, cabbage under which lies the children's story Patufet.
human castles, Sardana and choruses are sums that pivot on a center. And from there to "pal of paller" the CDC Pujol, the stick that held all political straws, is a short step.
A chorus is the essence of that spirit. And a choir anthem itself more. The Orfeo does: The cannot of the senyera. 's in the most optimistic tone and tempo indication is "energized, majestic." Felix Millet was little to concerts, but never failed in December 26. Heard that song up, strong and majestic. With hand on heart. " (El Pais, Domingo, 18/10/2009, p. 6 / 7)
