How does a person become corrupt?? And an organization? To what extent can someone resist when everyone around them succumbs to the temptation of reaching into the box??
#AnaContraGürtel It is a novel based on strictly real events.. Tells the story of a woman, the first whistleblower of the Gürtel plot, who witnessed how money poured into a city west of Madrid, fruit of real estate speculation, and how, little by little, people were becoming entangled in the sticky webs of corruption. Instead of being dragged, or look away, decided to report him.
The ending is neither pretty nor sobering.: lost everything except, maybe, your dignity.
This is not only the story of one of the most famous cases of institutional corruption in recent years, not even that of a city council or a specific party, because the crime, moral degradation and abuse of power do not understand acronyms. It is a story of how corruption is born and spreads like a cancer. Masterfully narrated in first person, with sharpness and irony, and those flashes so typical of Spanish: the grotesque, the absurd, the picaresque and, Yeah, it also shabby.
