In the conversation, Comas expressed his indignation and anguish: “I didn’t imagine there was such a level of hate. for simply defending freedom of expression and the presumption of innocence. I have received death threats and an incredible amount of insults, but the most painful thing is the damage they have done to my wife.“.

Macarena Gómez, who sent a statement in the middle of the controversy, has also suffered cancellation attempts, according to Comas.

The debate on cancel culture and the war of the sexes

During the program, Federico Jiménez Losantos and Aldo Comas reflected on how cancel culture, radical feminism and woke movements have transformed society, reaching extremes that are “detrimental to dialogue and respect.”

Comas has denounced the lack of proportionality in cases of harassment or aggression that are aired on social networks: “Someone making an unfortunate comment to you is not the same as multiple rape.. “Equating everything on a clean slate is not only unfair, but also trivializes the suffering of the real victims.”

Jiménez Losantos, for his part, has linked this phenomenon to a trend imported from the United States, where, according to him, puritanism and woke authoritarianism have led to a society marked by censorship and fear of public scrutiny.

Aldo Comas: “All this has overwhelmed me”

Throughout the interview, Aldo Comas showed his vulnerability by acknowledging how difficult it has been for him to handle the avalanche of hate and criticism. “I am a hypersensitive person, and this week I have had to deal with constant attacks. I have had to take tranquilizers to be able to disconnect“he confessed.

Regarding the impact on his career and that of Macarena Gómez, Comas revealed that there have been attempts to cancel projects, but also new support: “There have been brands that tried to cancel contracts, but others have supported us. In the end, this is a war of culture and principles. “What we defend is justice, democracy and freedom of expression.”

The conversation has also touched on the weakening of the feminist movement in Spain, which, according to Jiménez Losantos, has fragmented due to internal issues and controversial laws such as ‘only yes means yes’. Both agreed that current activism sometimes loses sight of nuances and becomes a tool of censorship and lynching.

Comas has emphasized that her fight is not against feminism, but against its excesses and distortions: “I defend Equality and respect. But this climate of hate and cancellation is harming even the causes they supposedly want to protect.”

Support for Macarena Gómez

Despite the storm, Aldo Comas has thanked the support received and has expressed his confidence that this episode will serve to open a necessary debate about the limits of public discourse, the presumption of innocence and mutual respect.

“What we have experienced is a reflection of the current times. But if we don’t defend freedom of expression and justice, we are finished“, he declared.
