The actress Itziar Ituño, best known for playing the character of Raquel in La Casa de Papel, has caused a stir this week on social networks for attending a demonstration in Bilbao in favor of the rights of ETA prisoners. Since the information became public, the Basque has received a wave of insults, criticism and threats and several brands have canceled their engagements with her.
In fact, the Basque Country and Navarra dealer BMW Lurauto published a statement announcing its separation from the artist and Iberia removed the campaigns in which she appeared from its website and social networks.
One of the people who came to his defense was José Luis Rebordinos, director of the San Sebastián International Film Festival. Rebordinos said these words in a connection with the program Espejo Público on Antena 3: "As director of the festival, I have always been against ETA, a fascist and murderous gang, and this does not prevent me from supporting an actress who participates in a demonstration legal. He is experiencing a wave of insults and threats."
During the same intervention, he also added: "We can agree or not with her, that is another debate, but we are in solidarity with her. Things can be discussed, but not through threats and insults." Other colleagues who showed support for Ituño were Fernando Colomo, Nathalie Poza, Willy Toledo, Albert Pla, Dani Guzmán and Alba Flores.
In this situation, the actress has broken her silence in a curious way: she has posted a story on Instagram with an enigmatic message. In the photograph you could see a pendant with a Nahual, a type of sorcerer who has the ability to take animal form. There was also the hashtag
In the same publication, which only lasts 24 hours, Ituño also added the song Vamos por Ancho Camino, by Víctor Jara. Chosen intentionally or not, Jara was one of the leading artists in the protest song and was murdered on September 16, 1973 after being shot 44 times by the Chilean military.
