Podemos has called on the mayor of Seville, José Luis Sanz (PP), and the president of the Board, Juanma Moreno, to demand from the American network Univision a public rectification for what it considers "insults" to the people of Seville on the occasion of the broadcast. of the Latin Grammy gala.
The leader of Podemos Sevilla and councilor in the City Council, Susana Hornillo, reported this Sunday that these demonstrations about derogatory topics were made by the presenters Raúl de Molina and Lili Estefan, popular faces of the network for their program 'El gordo y la skinny'.
As specified in a statement, the presenters even stated that while "in Bilbao people work all day because all the companies are there, in Seville people party all day long."
Hornillo has regretted that an event with global impact and million-dollar audiences has served, in his opinion, to torpedo the international projection of the city, by casting an image of society that does nothing to attract business investment, as the president of the Board and the mayor of Seville.
Along these lines, he has requested that the municipal and regional governments write to the Latin Grammy Academy and Univision to formally request that the presenters retract the derogatory comments towards Sevillians.
Likewise, he has urged both leaders of the PP to have their respective legal offices study a possible lawsuit against the demonstrations made by Raúl de Molina and Lili Estefan for damaging the image and honor of the population of Seville and to boycott the potential installation of international companies in the city.
Finally, the leader of Podemos Sevilla has assured that, with a public outlay of almost 30 million euros to bring the gala to Seville -5 of which have been contributed by Sevillian taxpayers-, "the minimum" that could be asked for. In return it is a treatment of respect and gratitude towards the city and its people.
All of this, he added, instead of "embarrassing" statements full of "false prejudices" according to which "the people of Seville never work, they are always partying and at seven in the morning no one has gotten up."
