Mario Vaquerizo has become one of the most controversial characters on the Spanish social scene. His friendship with different right-wing politicians such as Isabel Díaz Ayuso or José Luis Martínez Almeida have cost him endless criticism from his most progressive fans, something that Alaska's husband does not care about.
When he visited the Mediaset España program Déjate Querer, Vaquerizo gave some controversial statements that set social networks on fire: ''My family lived through the dictatorship and now I feel identified. You can't say what you think. We are supposed to have made a lot of progress". In response to these words, many angrily replied that the struggle of the collectives today and the corrections they make to include everyone and to respect human rights cannot be compared with the Franco regime.
Jorge Javier Vázquez, one of the most important presenters in our country, dedicated a blog to Alaska and Mario Vaquerizo explaining that he was very disappointed in the couple who had carried the flag of "freedom" in our country for years.
The philologist made it ugly that the singer shared a microphone daily with the radio announcer Federico Jiménez Losantos, whom he defined as "a being whose only virtue is to vomit falsehoods and impute false crimes": "Every time some joke laughs at him or remains silent before any of his nonsense, his followers receive a host".
After a few quiet months in which he has not ruled on political issues (despite the fact that important general elections have just been held in Spain), Mario Vaquerizo has sown controversy once again.
Olvido Gara's husband has uploaded a reel to his official Instagram account with Juan Pedro, one of the members of his band. In the video entitled ''Long live love and long live my sister'', you can see how the musician wears a somewhat problematic shirt.
In the garment you can see the famous Valley of the Fallen, a place where the Spanish dictator rested for years and which was built by a workforce made up mostly of Republican political prisoners. In addition, you can read the Francoist motto: ''One, great and free''.
The outfit of Vaquerizo's partner and the naturalness with which he has a conversation with him without giving importance to the outfit have created an atmosphere of tension on social networks, for which hundreds of users are writing criticism on platforms such as Instagram or Twitter.
''What a bunch of people you are and every day making it clearer'', ''One, big and free? I'll see you soon with one of “Arbeit macht frei” or “Gora ETA”. I find it in very poor taste and disrespectful to the victims'' or ''With the shirt of the valley of the fallen, raised with the sweat and blood of republican prisoners in the middle of the dictatorship. How bad you really are, what a disappointment'' are some of the comments that can be read on the net.
