The statements of the bullfighter, who gave his opinion on various issues from the set of Public mirrorThey were very controversial. Some caused tremendous rains of criticism not only towards him but towards the program itself. The last one was last May, when Fran Rivera assured that some people preferred to receive social assistance rather than work: “People do not want to work.

The switchboard collapsed with the complaints: “The one you’ve messed up, Fran,” said Griso. He, far from retracting, added: “You go to the field to any production that has to be harvested by hand and most of the workers are foreigners. The same thing happens in the bars I frequent.
