Catherine Fulop scolded Mirtha Legrand for interviewing Hugo Chávez

21 years ago, Mirtha Legrand (97) had the former Venezuelan president Hugo Chávez as a guest at one of his legendary lunches. Now, the driver has received Caterina Fulop (59) and I asked him his opinion on that interview.

During the recent broadcast of Mirtha’s night (El Trece, Saturday 9.30pm), Chiqui spoke about that meeting with Chávezwhich coincided with Mauricio Macri’s visit to the table, after having addressed the topic of Venezuela’s current politics.

When she asked Fulop if she could return to her home country, the actress replied: “The truth is, if you ask me, I don’t know what to say, I don’t know if I can go back,” she began. . And she explained: “There is a law called l Law of hate. There are prisoners who have published things about the government. In reality you act with passion or express ideas in an exaggerated way. I have often not been politically correct.”.

“I have friends who spoke out against the regime and returned to Venezuela. And they tell me ‘Cathi, you won’t overthrow a government’, now they are more open. But there are influencers who have put them in prison, singers who have had to delete things from their networks” he continued talking about his situation.

Then Mirtha interrupted him and went straight: “You know that I received Chávez. Did it bother you that I received it? Because it bothered me that it bothered you, it hurt me. I found it very cute. And at that time he was very Argentine, very Buenos Aires and he liked him.”

Laughing, but a little uncomfortably, Caterina replied: “I’ll wait for you outside, at the exit.” «Actually, it didn’t bother me that you invited him because, in this sense, I am very democratic. I love democracy and I love that you invite anyone from any camp to sit here and express what they feel. What bothered me was when you said, “If I were Venezuelan, I would vote for you.”“, he has declared.

Laughing, he remembered Mirtha; “That’s what I said, yes, yes. I said it. I have to say it He was so kind that he won us all over”. “I have friends of mine who were fascinated and fascinated by him. And then they recognized that he was indeed…” Fulop continued, before being interrupted again by the driver.

“I prepared a living room, a dining room and lunch. He has just been invited into the living room. AND He told me: “Look, the truth is that I feel so good that if you want I’ll stay for lunch.” I told him to stay and you know Macri was there, he didn’t want to share the table and he went to a corner store and they had to go look for him. “He WAS a taker,” Chiqui said of that meeting.

The actress tried to explain what happened: “So what I did was call you and told you “Mom, I swear to you that if you were Venezuelan you wouldn’t vote for him”. And even less so at that moment when the mask was removed, the repression was removed, and there was one re-election after another. When they entrench themselves in power, they have to get your attention. “It cannot be that there is no other candidate.”

Catherine Fulop explained to Mirtha Legrand why she distanced herself from the media

The actress continued to explain and complain about the current situation in Venezuela, and then revealed it He stopped appearing in the media let alone politics.

“There is a new generation that has lived through this process, that does not know democracy, nor beautiful Venezuela, nor what was seen as beautiful and progressing. Luckily they never retaliated against my family. Those from the outside make themselves more foolish than they really are.”, he began to tell.

However, he explained that his family is very afraid: “Ova doesn’t want me to go to Venezuela without a guarantee that nothing will happen.”

Then, Mirtha asked her why she decided to stay away from the media, and Cathy replied: “Before the quarantine came, there was a political turmoil, because a new government was coming, Venezuela was quite revolutionized. And I talk nonsense, I comment on things, always to defend my country. It didn’t seem right what was happening, I felt attacked and disrespected”.

And he concluded: “The public always divides you and this has an impact. In that moment, the truth is this whatever I said they attacked me. In fact, I want to take better care of myself. Why talk about politics if I’m not a political person? I am non-partisan“I would like Venezuela and Argentina to do well without any kind of ideology.”
