Carmen Posadas: "In the Spain of the Transition, the rich and successful were not suspects but a model to follow"

Carmen Posadas discusses her new novel 'Las Mitford' and reflects on her unconventional upbringing as a diplomat's daughter. She draws parallels between the polarizing dynamics of the Mitford sisters and contemporary Spain, emphasizing the return of historical divisions. Posadas believes that the trauma from past conflicts has faded, leading to a lack of awareness about the horrors of history. She warns against the idealization of past regimes by younger generations who did not experience them. Her insights highlight the importance of remembering history to prevent repeating it, while also acknowledging her past as part of Spain's elite social circles.
