The question Álvaro Morte would ask political candidates about culture in 'La Revuelta': "It scares me a lot"

Álvaro Morte turned his visit to La Revuelta into something more than a cinematic presentation. The actor attended David Broncano's show on La 1 this Thursday alongside Francesco Carril to talk about La voz quebrada, the documentary directed by Manuel Menchón that addresses the last months of Federico García Lorca's life and his relationship with Juan Ramírez de Lucas. However, during the conversation there was also space to reflect on the role of culture and education, two issues that aroused the interpreter's concern.

Morte defended the importance of keeping the figure of Lorca alive through new audiovisual productions, beyond the commemorations of his assassination. The actor insisted that the poet's legacy must be approached with historical rigor and demanded that resources allocated to culture and education not be reduced. In his opinion, both are fundamental for new generations to be able to know the past without biased visions and to develop their own criteria.

Álvaro Morte's question to the presidential candidates

It was then that David Broncano recalled that he had invited the four presidential candidates to come to the program to talk about their electoral proposals (stating at another point in the program that two of them had already accepted the proposal). The presenter asked his guests if there was any question they would like to ask them on behalf of the citizens, and Morte took the opportunity to put one of his main concerns on the table.

"I would like to ask any of the four how they would approach the management of culture," replied the actor before explaining the reason for his concern: "I am very afraid that political forces may enter that do not allow free access to culture or that have a bias that does not allow us to have our own criteria."

With these words, the interpreter focused on the responsibility of institutions when it comes to guaranteeing accessible culture and an education that fosters critical thinking. His reflection linked with the defense he had previously made of teachers and the need to offer young people rigorous information about historical episodes such as the persecution and murder of Federico García Lorca.

Broncano thanked Morte for sharing his concern, although he admitted with a laugh that he would not transfer the question to the candidates because he did not see himself with the same ease of speech as the actor. The anecdote left one of the most outstanding moments of the visit, in which the presentation of 'La voz quebrada' ended up giving way to a reflection on access to culture and its role in society.
