Lucía Etxebarria has been interviewed on Viajando con Chester, the program hosted by Risto Mejide on Cuatro, on Tuesday night. The writer has spoken in the interview about some of the controversies that have plagued her the most in recent times, such as her well-known position against the Trans Law promoted by the Ministry of Equality.
This is the first major interview that Etxebarria has given since he was in the eye of the hurricane for this reason. Thus, she sitting on the sofa in the Chester moved to Valencia for the occasion, she has denounced that she has experienced a “cancellation” by the media for the last “3 years”.
Hours before the broadcast of the interview, Lucía Etxebarria has spoken on her social networks about how she felt after recording it, something that happened “a few months ago”. As she assures her, “the program has been conveniently edited” to avoid showing some uncomfortable scenes that the writer interpreted as “attacks” towards her.
One of these controversial moments is the one lived, according to Etxebarria’s account, with the trans activist Jimena González. The spokesperson for the Más Madrid party in the Chamberí district would have appeared on the program to the surprise of the guest, despite the fact that she “did not know her at all.”
In her social networks, Lucía Etxebarria assures that Jimena maintained an aggressive attitude with the interviewee at all times, having the cameras of the Cuatro program as witnesses. “She spoke to me, scolded me and recriminated me in an exaggeratedly aggressive tone,” she denounces. In addition, she has stated that she did not initially recognize the activist for appearing on the internet with her appearance prior to her transition.
“I was deeply uncomfortable. I left there crying and thinking that everything had been a trap,” she says on her social networks. The fragment of the controversy has finally been removed from the broadcast of Viajando con Chester, so viewers have not been able to learn about the altercation other than from Etxebarria’s story.
