Óscar Jaenada surprises with his words about 1-O and the independence movement in Catalonia: "They beat my people"

Óscar Jaenada has been in the world of acting for more than two decades. The actor has appeared in important series such as Leaving Class and Hospital Central, but, without a doubt, his success has come in his films. The Barcelona native won the Goya in 2003 for Best Male Lead Performance after taking on the role of Camarón de la Isla in Camarón.

On the other hand, he has always been characterized by having very clear ideas and always saying what is on his mind. Now he has been put in the spotlight for his opinion on what happened on October 1 in Catalonia. "Neither forget nor forgive," he published a few days ago on his X (Twitter) account along with a video of the police charges from six years ago.

After this position against the charges, the actor did not take long to be asked about it. While on tour for his new film Awareness, alongside María Pedraza, the Catalan has not hesitated to talk about the subject in Eh! Universe. "I am Catalan, and come on, I will be Catalan all my life. And there is a problem," he began to relate.

Óscar Jaenada has put on the table that the relationship between Catalonia and Spain is like a marriage in which one of the parties wants to separate. "Well, there are two options: either separate because one of the two parties wants it, or, as was chosen on October 1, take a Tweety boat full of national police to beat up people from my house, from my town," has sentenced.

Likewise, he wanted to point out that with this strategy on the part of the Government at that time, the only thing that was achieved was a "cradle of independentists." "That day the only thing they achieved was that every Catalan with half a brain converted to the independence movement," he added confidently.

If he wanted to make something clear, it is that, for him, what happened that day was "complete abuse" and that an "empathy exercise" must be done to realize that reality.

But that is not all. He has also stated what he felt when he saw what happened on October 1, 2017: "Seeing how that Catalan heard the shouts of: 'Go for them'. He was very hard as a Catalan." And he wanted to make it clear that, despite being an actor, personally, that day caused him a lot of pain. "I mean, I cried in my house watching how those police officers beat my people," he said.

Furthermore, he has once again recovered the simile of a marriage that wants to divorce. "He who doesn't want to always says: 'You want to break everything'. No, I don't want to break everything, I don't want to break everything, far from it. In other words, what I want is a life without you because I'm not doing well with you." , has settled.
