The presence of the actress Itziar Ituño, known for her performance in La casa de papel, at a demonstration by ETA prisoners, in which they demanded that the ordinary prison policy be applied to them, has triggered all kinds of reactions in the cultural, political and business sphere.
The latest comment on the subject has been the musician Albert Pla, who is currently immersed in the promotion of his new show Rumbagenarios to celebrate the anniversary of his album Veintegenarios en Alburquerque (1997).
In statements to Europa Press, the actor also maintains that "Spain is a country that remains divided between those who believe that those who killed Carrero Blanco were heroes and those who believe they were murderers."
For the artist, there is no doubt: "I think they were heroes." A controversial statement that the singer has already made on other occasions.
Ituño's presence at the demonstration, in which ERC, Junts, the ANC and the CUP also participated, has cost him the cancellation of several advertising agreements. The BMW dealer Lurauto announced the end of its collaboration, while the Iberia company has removed a promotional video starring the Basque interpreter from its networks.
However, the actress has received the support of the San Sebastián International Film Festival, which has expressed its solidarity with Ituño "and with any actress or actor who is suffering a boycott for their ideas."
The Union of Basque Actors (EAB) has also shown its solidarity with the interpreter of La casa de papel. For her part, the Basque executive sees the insults she has received for participating in the demonstration as "inadmissible."
