Álvaro Ojeda talks with José Manuel Soto, a famous Spanish singer, who has recently been singled out by taking out of context a message from him on the social network Twitter, where for some time now he has become a celebrity for his activity. The singer says that “‘El Español’ manipulated what I said about seduction and threw me to the lions.” It has been said that he justifies bullies when he, in fact, makes it clear that “I was talking about seduction ». José Manuel Soto argues in this talk: «Between a man and a woman there may be more relationships than rape and harassment, there are people who fall in love, there are people who flirt … And there are people who try to conquer someone and there is a tug of war. I was talking about it and trying to remove iron from it. And of course, they twist that and the danger begins “. Soto concedes that” when someone insults me, I see it even normal, because people are very upset. But then he regrets that things have gotten crazy lately: “When the press cuts part of the comment and puts it in a headline, it is manipulating the subject, smearing and creating a very dangerous precedent. And when you throw a person to the lions, you are jointly responsible for what happens to him. ‘El Español’ says ‘José Manuel Soto justifies the bullies’. Well no, I’m talking about something else, seduction “. Soto argues that” Spain is made of a highly flammable material, here we go from love to hate in nothing. Any comment from a well-known person and, immediately, the networks burn. This madness of putting all male-female relationships in the key of harassment is nonsense. Of course, in terms of harassment, a ‘is not no’ is clear, in terms of rape, nor do I tell you. But there are other kinds of relationships, right? ».The latest events lead Soto to analyze that “in Spain, society is much less tolerant today than it was 40 years ago. Before people went free and fun on the streets and now I have the feeling that everything has been radicalized in a way that we have to be careful with what is said … We are becoming a crazy country “. Soto regrets that” compliments they can no longer be thrown. Sometimes at concerts they call me ‘handsome’ and I have to say ‘careful, I’m reporting you’. It is yet another madness. A compliment said with class, with elegance, I think that does not hurt anyone. If you go down the street saying atrocious things to a woman, that is not worth it and it has never been worth it ». Do many doors close on her for being who you are? «Yes, but others are opening. Several parties have made offers to me, but I’m not interested in politics, I dedicate myself to music ». This is how he saw the controversy after the criticism of Estrella Morente for defending bullfighting during a performance in Operación Triunfo: «This is part of the progressive dictatorship, we must attack those of us who defend bullfighting, attack a great centuries-old Spanish tradition, even millennia. There is a slogan now which is to go for the bulls and for the bullfighters ».
