Huelva, (EFE) that it is “a lack of respect for Andalusia”.
In the program, broadcast last Tuesday, an actress like the Virgen del Rocío appeared with a baby-like doll in her arms simulating the baby Jesus, with its presenters, Toni Soler and Jair Domínguez, ironizing that the Virgin does not go out in procession at Easter, as well as making jokes about his sex life and his Andalusian accent.
For Moreno, “humor is one of the hallmarks of our land, but to be funny it is done with respect and affection”, and he understands that what was seen on the program is “a lack of respect for Andalusia, and for thousands Andalusians and their traditions. I hope that to ask for forgiveness they know how to do it better ”, she concludes.
Ignorance and andaluzophobia
For her part, the spokeswoman for Adelante Andalucía, Teresa Rodríguez, believes that humor can be made from everything, “also from Holy Week”, but not “with so much ‘badness’, ignorance and Andalusian phobia”, urging the screenwriters of the joke to imitate “the accent of your bloody ‘stop’, for being soft”.
On this same subject, the bishop of the Diocese of Huelva, Santiago Gómez, affirms in this regard that freedom of expression “cannot offend religious beliefs, nor can it offend Rociero Catholics”, and that “the right to freedom of thought and expression, recognized in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, cannot imply the right to offend the religious feelings of believers, a principle that is obviously valid for any religion”.
“Human coexistence – he continues exposing – demands a climate of mutual respect to favor peace among us. Criticism and ridicule of Catholics demonstrate a lack of human sensitivity and can lead to undesirable provocations, ”she points out.
Finally, the bishop of the Huelva diocese assures that “this is not the way to work to heal the wounds that may exist in our coexistence.” EFE
