Actor Mauricio Martínez has called on the television program "Ventaneando" and its participants to be accountable for their public statements. The controversy stems from comments made by co-host Pedro Sola regarding dogs, which Martínez deemed insufficient in his apology. Martínez publicly stated that excusing such remarks based on age is "cowardly."
Martínez has consistently advocated for discussions on animal mistreatment and questioned the way the program handled the initial remarks. He emphasized the importance of responsible speech, particularly for public figures.
During a recent red carpet event for the play "Siete veces adiós," Martínez was asked about the ongoing dispute. While he preferred not to delve deeper into the conflict, stating "I'd rather not talk about it anymore because they don't like me there," he reiterated his core message: "Well, everyone is responsible for their words, for their actions."
The actor attended the event celebrating 1,100 performances of the play, which also featured María León. León is set to join the play's tour in various cities.
Pues cada quien es responsable de sus palabras, de sus acciones. Yo preferiría ya no hablar de ahí porque pues ahí no me quieren
