During her time in Mexico, the actress expressed her concern about the current difficult situation that culture is going through in the country under the position of the new government.
The Argentine actress Cecilia Roth denounced the dismantling suffered by the Argentine cultural industry due to the economic policies of President Javier Milei. Also, he warned about the president’s speech that he seeks to brand artists as “parasites of the State.”
Roth regretted that in Argentina it is being done “very difficult” to produce cinema and culture. His statement took place this Friday at a press conference prior to his distinction with the Platinum Honor Awardwhich he will receive on Saturday in the 11th edition of this award that recognizes the Ibero-American audiovisual industry.
“They are dismantling everything related to culture in general and cinema in particular, I want this to be known in Latin America and Spain. Somehow It’s a request for help too.“said the 67-year-old interpreter, and made a call of attention to the artistic community and the public “because perhaps in 2025 there will not be any Argentine production in this type of awards, due to budget cuts.” In this sense, highlighted the urgent need to protect and promote this important aspect of national identity.

During the conference, the actress stressed that cinema and the cultural industry “give revenue to the country” and they do not live only on state support, as Milei points out when referring to several artists as “parasites of the State.” “This cruel and unfair idea must be changed,” Roth said.
The protagonist of renowned films such as Everything about my mother took advantage of the time leading up to the Platinum Awards gala to ask the film and theater community to act on this situation and “actively resist” the complex moment that the industry in the country is going through. “We have built, with a lot of struggle, an industry that is not yet solidly established, so a strong wind like this one that is happening now in Argentina can hit the industry in general,” Roth reflected.
