Alaska’s husband spoke openly about the fact that many people think he’s gay and that his relationship with Olvido is nothing more than “a cover”: “I always go with the fags and there is no danger there. Well, yes, later he says I’m a queer, that I have a lot of feathers.”
The MP for Fangoria said that this hypothesis had at first its gracebut there comes a time when it gets tiresome, especially his wife: “She says, ‘They’re not insulting my husband, they’re insulting me.’ And Olvido is very well cared for after 23 years.”
“We’ve come a long way”
This point in the conversation made Vaquerizo reflect on freedom of expression today: “We went through a dictatorship in which they didn’t let us show ourselves as we are, to have long hair they put you in jail,” he said.
After this title, the artist said that “we have come a long way”“My family lived through a dictatorship and now I feel identified. You can’t say what you think. We are supposed to have made a lot of progress,” he complained.
Mario Vaquerizo did not hesitate to set an example to set more power to your words: ‘My wife, in ‘Pepi, Lucy and Bom‘, I was sixteen years old and I couldn’t make this film anymore. They would have sent my mother-in-law to prison because of the minor’s defense. I say incorrect things, but I am politically incorrect.
“There comes a time when, because you don’t have to explain yourself, you make a mistake, it’s self-censorship. Self-censorship is the evil that people experience we want to be free. We have to tell young people, who accept as valid what they see on the networks,” he said. A few words that Paz Padilla did not hesitate to applaud.
