A musical group invited to the Vox festival sings “Let’s go back to 36”

“Let’s go back to 36.” That was the chorus of the theme with which the group Infovlogger and Los Meconios opened the concert that enlivened Saturday night Viva 22, the annual party of Vox, which the organization expected more than 30,000 people to attend. From the stage of the Espacio Mad Cool, in Valdebebas (Madrid), the group performed “Vamos a return al 36″, alluding to the year the Spanish Civil War began. The lyrics said: “The ruling left is already called the Popular Front, surrounded by revolutionary sofa jerks.” And he reeled off, in a mocking tone, Vox’s arguments: “We are the resistance, we are facades, the podemitas are democracy. If you vote for the PP you are a pro-Francoist and if you like Bildu you are a pacifist. Your enemy is the owner of Zara while you buy her panties”. The lyrics included phrases like “feminists protest gang rape… There are ten more to investigate, I don’t care, they’re from Senegal.” While the public shouted “Sánchez out! Son of a bitch!”, one of the members of the group, who described the President of the Government as a “rat” and “criminal”, ironized: “Hey, this is going to be hate speech now. We’re all going to jail.”

On their Twitter account, the group published a message this Sunday in which they deny that their song promotes civil war. “From the creators of the #BuloDelCulo and the #BuloDelColegioMayor, comes the #BuloDel36, with which they try to make you believe that we are encouraging a return to 36 and we really say the opposite, that it is this Government that wants to take us to a new 36 ″, they assure in the tweet.

The Association for the Recovery of Historical memory (ARMH) has asked the State Attorney General’s Office to investigate the action, and also requests the Secretary of State for Democratic Memory “to act as a whistleblower against a hate crime.” Vox’s spokesman in Congress, Iván Espinosa de los Monteros, has pointed out on his Twitter account that the controversy over this song shows that “the left is beginning to lose the cultural war.”

The selection of performers for the Vox festival already caused controversy last year, when one of the guests was the neo-Nazi rapper G. Babe, whose song the final days He says: “I will resist until the end as in Berlin”, referring to the fall of the Hitler regime at the end of World War II. G. Babe has been invited again this year, although this time the controversy came from the rapper Santaflow, one of whose songs says: “I want to hit Jorge Javier’s fagot.” The television presenter had warned Vox that he could be protecting a crime of threats.

Although Espinosa de los Monteros publicly invited EL PAÍS to attend the Vox party on the 28th, during his appearance at the Club Siglo XXI, and Santiago Abascal encouraged the media to attend Viva 22 to verify its success, Vox has once again denied press accreditation to the journalists of this newspaper.
