Andy and Lucas are one of the most successful duos in our country. Andrés Morales and Lucas González are now celebrating two decades of experience with the album 20 years in more than 20 songs, a work in which they compile their greatest hits. For this reason, they went on stage at the 'Fiesta de la Resurrección' in Madrid, held last Saturday in Cibeles. In a recent interview with Europa Press they have revealed that they would be willing to perform in another type of celebration, yes, that had nothing to do with EH Bildu. Some controversial statements that have unleashed a large amount of criticism on social networks.
"If they call us at Gay Pride, we go too. We make music. Another thing is that they call me Bildu. If they call me Bildu, I won't go, they are ETA members and they have killed people," Lucas said in a statement to the aforementioned medium. . The interpreter had been asked about the concert organized by the Catholic Association of Propagandists, an event that was baptized with the name 'The Feast of the Resurrection', where he performed together with his stage partner.
After these statements, the musician made it clear that the group does not belong to any political party. "If the question is what political party Andy and Lucas are from: bland," he declared. The singer limited himself to rejecting the labels on his beliefs, assuring that they "are not from anyone." "If you go with the Catholics, you are from the right or extreme right. If you go with the gays, you are from the extreme left. We are from our homeland. My flag is my son," sentenced the man from Cádiz.
These statements were harshly criticized by Jon Inarritu, deputy for Bildu. "I don't think there is any EH Bildu council that has thought of hiring this group of 'comedians'," he expressed through his official Twitter account, adding emoticons of clown faces and faces laughing . "We always think of benefiting the citizenry," says the politician.
But Lucas's controversial statements have not only earned the duo criticism from a party deputy. Also hundreds of users on networks like Twitter. "I am very surprised that Andy and Lucas, far from harboring any political or intellectual register, know what EH Bildu means. They have not been able to make a good song in their lives, enough to wonder or give a minimally formed opinion about something," says one user. "In what parallel universe do Andy and Lucas think that Bildu is going to call them to sing?", says another.
"Hello Andy and Lucas. Bildu are not ETA members. Neither are you, but you are some tacky, talentless people who give concerts in towns for 9 euros a ticket," can be read in another tweet. "Andy and Lucas saying that they would never act for Bildu... as if they were the most listened to in Euskal Herria," says another tweeter.
There are also many users who have preferred to make 'memes' about the situation, and have joked that Bildu could use the fact that they will not call the duo to act as an electoral slogan. The truth is that, as in any controversy, the reactions on social networks have not been long in coming.
