The actress stars in, in spite Loles León. The reason? A few statements offered in 2022 and for which it was called “Catalanophobic.” In them, the protagonist of films such as Atame, the queen of Spain or speak with herhe assured that he had abandoned the city of the language: “No, I had no opportunities. That of linguistic normalization came out and then it was very difficult. I started being Charnega, then Botiflera and now they tell me Colona because I am there in Madrid,” he said in Rac1.
Not just that. The producer and critic of TV3 Víctor Ribelala assured on his social networks that working with her had been a bad experience precisely because of his refusal to speak in Catalan during a filming: “I worked in advertising with Loles León in Madrid, with the Columbus campaign, and never, never, he spoke to me in Catalan. And see that I did it … Nothing, always in Spanish. I did not understand it.” A gesture that from National.
The proposal has been rejected by the independence parties because they consider that the interpreter has been “openly belligerent with the linguistic immersion and the normalization of Catalan” and despite considering that it presumes a “brilliant trajectory” in the audiovisual and theater field, they consider the tribute as a “setback” for the cause.
The news has caused outrage among the followers and friends of Loles León, who have shown all their support to the actress through social networks. She, for the moment, has not manifested.
Talking Spanish in Catalonia is not Catalanophobia, it is to speak Spanish. Being against immersion is not Catalanophobia, it is asking freedom of language choice in schools.
Neither complexes nor independence manipulation. I am with Loles León on this subject. pic.twitter.com/MijayvsDOr– Tornasol Professor (@professorna5) February 28, 2025
The Barcelona City Council denies the city’s medal to Loles León for pure racism and Hispanophobia. To an illustrious neighbor of Barceloneta, the Catalanian is clogged by what many Catalans think and denounce what we suffer.

I peel it to whom Loles León votes, I peel it if Spanish or Catalan speaks. The only thing that matters to me is that he is a wonderful actress, who has made me laugh and excite myself all my life and that it is a cultural reference in my country.
