He president Javier Milei He used his social networks once again to criticize an Argentine artist. This time it was the turn of the film, theater and television actress, Cecilia Roth. The president assured that it “has no demand” in his shows because “They don’t want it” and not “because of censorship“.
Milei’s comments come after she accused the Government of censorship against the culture agenda, specifically on issues related to “the military dictatorship, gender and climate change.” “I think the Government is censoring, not to mention. I’m sure. “I know it, I see it, I feel it, I know it.” Roth had expressed on December 26.
Javier Milei harshly criticized Cecilia Roth
Through his social networks, the Argentine leader raised the glove and responded harshly to the Argentine actress. “I’m with @leocifelli and he tells me that “the great actress” Cecilia Roth only sells 600 tickets per week… Therefore, we must explain to her that she is not in demand because they do not want her, not because of censorship.“.
The President referred to the information shared by the Secretary of Culture of the Nation, Leonardo Cifelli, about the low sale of tickets in the play La Madre, by the French playwright Florian Zelle, at the Teatro Picadero in the City, which revealed the official. The same was also taken up by Agustín Laje who assured: “Indeed, what makes the actress’s blood boil is not that one cannot talk about gender, but that, finally, we can say out loud that GENDER IDEOLOGY IS GARBAGE“.
For his part, the Argentine president declared: “Obviously for CR it is easier to cry censorship than to accept its failure. CIAO!” In this way, the libertarian leader gave his opinion about one of the most recognized Argentine artists in the country, who transcended borders and triumphed in other countries, such as Spain, as one of the director’s favorite actresses Pedro Almodóvar.
Cecilia Roth’s criticisms
In an interview, the actress stated that “when Javier Milei won with a huge advantage, with an illogical advantage, it was very strong. I never thought he was going to win. I never imagined that a president in Argentina could be the nonsense that Javier Milei is, who imagined that he was going to start his ‘cultural war’ against cinema. Before being elected, he announced with his chainsaw – which was not fake – everything that he was going to cut,” he said.
“This country is going to be weakened to unthinkable levels. Milei was cutting, cutting, cutting, removing that hellish chainsaw. And we, at a level of shock, watching Milei pass before our eyes and with a deeply touched opposition,” added the renowned actress.
When asked about the cut that the Government is carrying out in public funds in the cultural area, he responded that “Culture represents the identity of a country, the food, the lunfardo (slang), the humor; and art is within that enormous space that is culture. Milei is totally oblivious to all this, It is built from who knows what, but never related or linked to Argentina, that Argentine cinema does not exist does not matter to him exactly because I think he does not watch neither Argentine nor foreign cinema. “He only reads books on economics and the Austrian school, he only listens to Italian and German opera.”
Regarding the culture official, Roth criticized: “The Secretary of Culture, who comes from having never done management, what he is doing is what is seen in the CCK (Kirchner Cultural Center), which he now calls Espacio Libertador I don’t know what name they gave it. They have dismantled the INCAA (National Institute of Cinematography and Audiovisuals). What they are doing in those places is slowly laying off all their staff: At three in the morning on a Friday you can receive a dismissal by email. “It is brutally cruel.”
Finally, the actress denounced that “the The government is already censoring, I’m sure, I see it, I feel it, I know it. The Secretary of Culture has said it: you cannot talk about the civil-military dictatorship, you cannot talk about gender, you cannot talk about climate change and you cannot see any film in which Lali Espósito appears. It’s incredible and we are swallowing all of this“.
