It has long since ceased to be Bertin Osborne. Now Bertin is dry. No last names As if he were the brother-in-law or the opposite neighbor . After entering his house, we have ended up thinking that we have known him for a lifetime, with his hobbies, his jokes and his profidén smile.

Bertín comes from Mexico to reissue his album of rancheras 'I should have fallen in love with your mother', an album he has recorded accompanied by great artists such as Vicente Fernández Jr., Diego Verdaguer or Shaila Dúrcal.

Although many were thrown into the jugular for the album's title, the song is not theirs, but José Alfredo Jiménez and the song was composed 50 years ago. The controversy slips . It has not been politically correct since I was 12 years old and it will not be now.

Is it hard to be Bertín Osborne in these times? What the hell is going to be hard! Upside down! When they ask me, I answer, because I am one of those who doesn't shut up. My opinion is as respectable as any other. Loquillo said on Tuesday at EL MUNDO that expressing oneself freely is now playing life. I really like. I am not politically correct because I have never been. As I always said to my mother, I say what I can think of, whoever falls. Normally, I usually fall. But I prefer to fall silent. Why do you sing rancheras if what is carried is reggaeton? I've been singing rancheras for 25 years and, in all my concerts, I go with a mariachi. Reggaeton horrifies me. Were you from Vox before Vox was born? I haven't been a Vox in my life. Many people identify you with them. I tell you that there is a lot of fool that identifies people without knowing them. In my case, nothing to see. I interrogate you for the same thing that you asked Abascal, what would you do if you get a son from Podemos? I would try to redirect him and tell him that theories of the last century cannot be defended. I am very funny when they say they are progressive. Progressive, in what? Progressives comes from progress. We are talking about a political system that was established in 1918. What the hell of progress is that! Progress is something else. Is there a progressive dictatorship that dictates what you have to think? The general point is that there is a far-right party and everyone assumes it. But there is also one of the extreme left. So what's up? That the extreme left is something elegant and the extreme right, right? Carmen Lomana said we were castrating the men. They haven't castrated me yet. That is the result of taking it with cigarette paper. It's stupid. We have been a country with a sense of humor and we are losing it. We are becoming a country pissed off, fucked up and fucked up. You can no longer make a joke without disturbing anyone. Well, ask my brother Arévalo, who says he no longer tells jokes because there is always someone who is going to complain. Jaime Baily confessed that when he said a compliment to a woman, he bit his tongue. The same thing happens to you? Not me. I am not compliments either. I am not the stereotype of the mason on the scaffolding screaming to those who pass through the street. You said that the feminist movement in Spain was not necessary. Don't you think there is any inequality between women and men? Nowadays in Spain, no, for example, with housework. You don't know how I scrub, how I mop my house, the vacuum cleaner and how I scrub dishes and how I iron shirts. You can't imagine it. In the same proportion as your wife? Much better than my wife. Sure, much better. It's as easy as asking her. Look at you now, less President of the Government, that it is time that we have some, in all public positions and in the important companies of the Iberian government there are a lot of presidents. Very few directives. For example, there are more judges, but in the judicial leadership they are many fewer. And policies? There are ministers, but then take a tour of the town halls. No, sorry, vice presidents there have been a few and several congressional presidents. Don't you think that it is harder for women to ascend than for men? Today, I think it does not cost them more. If they have capacity they can arrive just like men and in some cases, more. What I was saying is that the feminist movement in Spain for me is almost empty of content. What they have to do is go to Senegal or Iran. There, a feminist movement is needed because they are trampled, mistreated and mutilated. There is equal rights under the law of women and men. You can do exactly the same as us and, if somewhere, that does not happen you can report it. All I have said is that there are countries in our environment that have many more feminist movement needs than ours. Nothing more, but it's not incompatible, isn't it? You can defend the rights of women here and also there. Yes, but they don't do it there. I miss that all these belligerent Spanish feminist ladies go to the door of the Embassy of Senegal or any other Arab country, where they are still stoning women. A deputy from Vox has said that instead of feminism we should learn to sew a button that empowers a lot. [Laughs] Well, I sew buttons, great, I'll tell you. Are you sure you know how to sew a button? Look I don't see you I show it to you whenever you want. Also, I put it high or low. That same deputy suffered a feminist escrache when she was in an act, are we carrying the freedom of expression? What I told you before. What is worth to some is not worth to others. Those will be able to say whatever they want, that nobody is going to scream at them. If the escrache they do it to any deputy of the right center, it is freedom of expression, but if they do it to any of the PSOE, it is public disorder. You confessed that, as a young man, you bought wills, how did you do it? horny I said when I worked selling wine. Buying wills in my case is that I probably got people drunk to buy me the wine. That was my way of buying wills. That even in some cases I do it in my program too. Go! Is that the trick? I put them 10 drinks and they loosen up a lot. Well that's what I did when I was twenty years old selling wine.

This is Bertin. Genius and figure. Life has hit him hard, but he doesn't sing a single complaint. He has survived the death of a son, his granddaughter, his ex-wife and lives with the serious illness of his son Kike. His recipe for overcoming is the "sense of humor and optimism." «My mother taught it to me. All things, even if it's bad news, have their positive side. I look for it and I hold on to that. It's the only way. There is no other ».
