What Karla Sofia Gascón said about the criticism she received
Gascón has oscillated between apologizing and regretting the publications and enraging their critics. In an event to promote his biographical book “what remains of me” this week, Gascon opted for the latter: get out of the storm that wrapped it.
“It is evident that there was a campaign against me and that they went ahead until they got what they were looking for”he declared, according to The Guardian newspaper. Gascón, who recently declared that the scandal had led her to “consider the unthinkable”, has not presented evidence of a conspiracy.
