If on Monday Risto Mejide He has already shown himself to be blunt and insistent in Everything is a lie to condemn the racist message of Xavier García Albiolwhile his colleague in the PP and collaborator of the program Ana Vázquez avoided answering him and ended up defending the mayor of Badalona, this Tuesday the presenter has connected directly with the politician and despite criticizing him, he has announced that His “prize” is to sign him as a collaborator.
Ana Vázquez (PP) avoids answering Risto to assess the “unworthy” xenophobic message of Xavier García Albiol
Risto has been equally clear again, asking him If you regret that postBut Albiol has reaffirmed: “No. I cannot separate the problem from immigration,” assuming that it is correct to link people getting off a boat with defining them as criminals just because of their way of dressing and their accessories, and because of their supposed nationality.
In fact, the presenter also wanted to know how he knew, from a distance, that they were Moroccans. The politician said it was because he heard them: “For the language. In Badalona I have a large Moroccan community. I can differentiate the languages even though I cannot understand them.” Risto Mejide then asked him what language they spoke, and Albiol replied that his language was “Moroccan”although there is no language or tongue that is such, and in Morocco it is mainly spoken the arabic.
Albiol has tried to make it seem that with his xenophobic message he wanted to refer in general to “the reality” that exists in Spain with immigration, but Risto Mejide has focused on his words, clarifying that what he did was “prejudge” just by appearance of these people. Something that Albiol did not like, who counterattacked by playing the victim: “I think that your words are a manipulation of reality. People think that this is racism and xenophobia, but I invite you to visit the neighbourhoods and cities.” As Ana Vázquez had already done, the PP politician has excused his xenophobic comments for wearing sunglasses, having a mobile phone or showing off a “gym body”, as he himself wrote, with the situation in Badalona, which is a “problem” for both of them.
Repeating the xenophobic excuse, Albiol said that he called them that because “they were not starving and they had not come with nothing. We are talking about a different and irregular immigration”, taking the opportunity to demand that the immigrants be monitored. And after that, has prejudged again without any kind of information or proof: “Most likely, these people will end up sleeping in some compatriot’s apartment or will end up sleeping on the street or squatting somewhere and not working.”
The presenter then intervened, first with irony to point out to Albiol: “There is no need to consider any kind of surveillance of these people, just put you on the border”, and then, more seriously, to point out his xenophobia: “The same It was you who was making an abusive generalization.. You have talked about repeat offenders and that is a generalisation again.”
Risto concluded by responding directly to Albiol’s message: “The same What you do is link crime with immigrationYou screwed up on a tweet and if I were your friend I would tell you to take it down and apologize. It is tremendously racist”.
Despite everything, the “tremendously racist” politician will be from now on contributor of Everything is a lieas Risto Mejide announced before criticising him for linking crime with immigration. Another new signing for the Cuatro and Mediaset programme.
