After a week full of controversy, the Virgen del Rocío has reappeared tonight on TV3 in prime time in the program Polònia. In addition, the Virgen del Rocío has not been alone.
Let us remember that a satire of the Virgen del Rocío included in last Tuesday's edition of the Està passant program on TV3 caused the discomfort of the president of the Junta de Andalucía, Juanma Moreno, among other political leaders of the community.
In tonight's Polònia, the Virgin of Rocío (Judit Martín) has not been alone: La Moreneta (Eva Ortega), the Dalai Lama (Miquel Simó) and also a character characterized as a Muslim have accompanied her. In the program, the president of the Junta de Andalucía, Juan Manuel Moreno Bonilla, (Pep Plaza) has shown his disagreement with the gags that offend religion.
It should be noted that TV-3 defended on Tuesday that satire is a "symptom of democratic quality" in relation to the parody of the Virgen del Rocío in the Està passant program and that it has generated a rain of criticism in Andalusia but also from the Catalan bishops.
"What a holy week you have given us Andalusians with the Virgen del Rocío", commented Juan Manuel Moreno Bonilla perfectly characterized at the beginning of the Polònia program. "We are not going to confuse a tradition with a lack of respect", he added.
In addition, the president of the Junta de Andalucía has also commented that "with Muslims there are no eggs to make caricatures." At that time, a character characterized as a Muslim has quickly appeared. On the other hand, one of the members of Polònia has reminded him that the program has made imitations of other Christian symbols such as La Moreneta.
