Eva González, renowned presenter of ‘La Voz’, has been the target of insults on social networks after sharing an emotional initiative on Instagram. The proposal, backed by the PSOE, seeks to name the Doñana Flamenco Catwalk in honor of Cristo Báñez, the beloved flamenco fashion designer and close friend of González, who sadly passed away at the age of 41 in May of last year.
Eva’s publication, which showed her support for the political initiative to recognize her friend’s work in flamenco fashion, unleashed a series of criticisms and derogatory comments on social networks.
The presenter responded forcefully, emphasizing that her intention was to honor her friend beyond any political affiliation: “I just want to clarify that I don’t care exactly what color this initiative wears, I only care that he is recognized, above all.” of policies that have nothing to do with this issue.
The connection between Eva González and Cristo Báñez was based on their mutual passion for flamenco fashion. The news of the designer’s sudden death caused a deep shock in the presenter’s close circle, who expressed her sadness when attending the funeral home in Almonte, Huelva.
Báñez’s farewell brought together other friends of the couturier, such as María José Suárez and Rocío Martín Berrocal.
Faced with the avalanche of insults on the networks, Eva González did not hesitate to raise her voice and publicly denounce the situation. “I’m happy because I know that he is dancing and singing from up there to celebrate it. I’m proud of you. I miss you, friend,” said the presenter along with a broken heart emoticon.
The controversy highlights the difficult coexistence of public figures with unjustified criticism and demonstrates the importance of separating recognition of an artistic legacy from political opinions.
