The proposal that will represent Spain in Eurovision continues to generate a lot of debate in all corners of the country. Nebulossa achieved victory in the final gala of the third edition of the Benidorm Fest held this past Saturday in the Alicante city. Her vindictive song, Zorra, managed to win over the jury present and thousands of Eurofans who did not hesitate to vote for this novel proposal.
However, the election of the musical duo as the Spanish representatives at the next song festival, which will take place on May 11 in Malmö (Sweden), has unleashed an unprecedented national debate, with a large flood of comments in favor and against.
Furthermore, the topic has gone so far that not only the most Eurovision sector has wanted to express their thoughts. Many famous faces today have also wanted to talk openly about the Eurovision proposal. Artists, influencers, actors, radio or television presenters have spoken out in recent hours about the topic and its message. Even the President of the Government himself did not hesitate to show his full support for the artists in the La Sexta Al Rojo Vivo program.
But if there is a famous face that is giving a lot of talk for his different interventions on the subject, it is Alessandro Lequio. This past Monday, the Telecinco collaborator took a position against the choice of the song and its message in the program Vamos a Ver, where he assured that he did not understand how a song called Zorra could participate in the Eurovision Song Contest. ''If a man said this...we would be polishing the lyrics of the song,'' stated the Telecinco collaborator.
This Tuesday, Alessandro Lequio has returned to the fray on Telecinco, once again criticizing the Eurovision proposal. ''This song is not modern, this demand that people are championing is a very old thing, Madonna already did it in the eighties or here in La Movida, it is nothing new. Classical feminists also say that it is barbaric because 'Bitch' is an insult," declared Antonio Rossi.
''This is a provocation disguised as a fight for equality. This is not a question of being a woman, of being empowered, or anything. It's attracting attention by being rude. The word is a horror, whether this lady says it or the President of the Government says it (...) It strikes me that the same people who applaud this nonsense are the ones who later censor the songs of the G Men,'' declared Alessandro Lequio.
