Mario Vaquerizo was one of the guests of the last broadcast of Let yourself be loved. The artist, who was interviewed by Paz Padilla, wanted to record his ideas about freedom and censorship who he says is currently in Spain.
According to his point of view, in our country there is no freedom of expression, or, in the words of the artist, “not like before”. “My wife in Pepi, Lucy and Bom I was sixteen years old and I couldn’t make this film now. My mother-in-law would have been sent to prison for child advocate things,” he said, before saying, “I say the wrong things, but I’m politically incorrect“.
“We went back. My family lived through a dictatorship and now I feel identified. You can’t say what you think. It is assumed that we had come a long way,” Vaquerizo continued in his speech.
Then Paz Padilla commented that “we have to be free”, which Mario alluded to was self-censorship: “Self-censorship is the evil of people who want to be free. It must be said to young people, who see what they see on social networks as real. An opinion is not information.”
Moreover, the husband from Alaska also spoke about the controversy of being the image of Ayuso’s campaign to promote Madrid: “I went to promote my favorite city, which is Madrid. For me, Madrid is free from any political connotation and, Whoever wants to understand it, very well, and whoever does not understand it, no. And if you insult me just for the harm you are doing to my mother, I will go there and I will tell you “will incline”. Now they can put me in jail if they want“.
