And Rocío Carrasco removed Julia Otero

8M, Women's Day, RTVE dedicates a good part of its programming to giving a voice to women, to all of them, to those from before, to those of now.

's program

on Wednesdays in prime time sits on its set with six women, including

.

It gets involved in networks, the division, the boycott, the protests, but also the support arise again.

Again, the polarization, the same with which we lived all day yesterday.

And then

arrived and "raised her voice", hers and those of the six women invited.

It was just that, to give voice, to let them speak, to tell their experiences, to be heard.

The noise.

Días de tele is a program that reviews events in which television had much more to do than a simple broadcast.

Can anyone doubt what

' appearance on Canal Sur meant more than 25 years ago, denouncing the ill-treatment she had suffered for 40 years?

's docuseries

marked a before and after in the treatment of gender violence on television?

Well, it's still in doubt.

The fact that

sits on a set continues to cause a confrontation between those who urge them to boycott a program and those who defend the daughter of

.

She did not even wait to see the program, only with a name the veto was already requested.

And look where

program

was neither show nor spectacle.

If a program entitled

is made , it will be necessary to show who raised it.

Unfortunately,

cannot be there, her husband murdered her days after her appearance on Canal Sur, but

is there , one of

' daughters

, yes,

, an astronaut, yes

, soccer player, yes,

, actress ,

and

, director.

Could he have taken other women?

Unfortunately yes.

And I say unfortunately because you don't have to look too hard to find women who have raised their voices against machismo, for feminism or who have suffered gender violence.

That is the scourge.

They try to boycott a program because she sits with

's daughter or not

because

.

The difference is that if a program is made to show those women who used a television set to denounce or to escape from hell,

has to be there.

When the docuseries Rocío was broadcast

calls to 016 increased by more than 61%, there was a debate in society that had been dormant for years, the scourge became visible again, more was learned about her.

Was it a show?

Yes. Was it done last night?

No. Neither

, nor

, nor

, nor any of them made any show of anything.

Perhaps because that was never the intention.

Perhaps because the only thing that was wanted is to raise the voice and raise it well.

"What it has given me -the series- is that there is a moment in my life in which I am forced to tell certain things because I decide that I do not want to continue living that way. What telling it has given me It has been beneficial in terms of my person, it has served me as therapy, healing and healing," he said at the beginning of

.

I don't think anything more needs to be said.

When so many people wonder or criticize why

sat on the set or why she continues to sit, or why

did it last night , after the tsunami when she suffered sexual harassment at the Feroz Awards party, or why she did it

, in the question is the answer.

Julia Otero's lesson

In fact, if someone thought that

was not going to raise the economic issue, the issue of whether

received or did not receive, is that they do not know

.

After asking

why she did it, and she answered because "I determined that I did not want to continue living like this" and because "this had to be known",

did not hesitate to end with a single sentence, without judging, without questioning. with all the doubts and all the accusations that there were and still are towards

and towards the docuseries: "I can't imagine that there could be someone who thinks that you can count this for money".

Well there is, well there was.

In these two years that have passed since the docuseries aired, that has always been the throwing weapon.

was never asked

.

Last night

didn't do it either, last night

made the statement and the answer came by itself.

Was necessary?

Yes, it was because when you talk about women, mistreatment, sexist violence and television, and you put everything in the same cocktail shaker and shake it, the same cocktail always comes out: money and doubt.

"When I decided to do this and I already had it matured," said

.

"I went to talk to my psychiatrist. I told him I'm going to do this and I want to know if it's going to be good for me on a mental level. And he told me 'it seems wonderful to me, the only thing I ask is that you don't have expectations'. And you know What was my answer? I told him, I start with less than 27,550, everything that comes in excess is a gift for me. I already counted on everything bad, what I didn't count on was good. And thank God, what weighs more good than bad."

Curious that although with different words, there are the same answers.

and

already fired

, and after she dropped the bombshell that they are trying to reopen the case for ill-treatment against

sat on the set

.

Días de tele

recovered that appearance in 1997 by

recounting the harassment and violence she suffered during 40 years of marriage and what the voice of that woman meant for women, but, above all, for Spanish society.

She was the germ of the comprehensive law against gender violence that was unanimously approved -yes, unanimously- seven years later in Congress.

After remembering her mother and thanking television and the media dozens of times for how they have made her mother eternal -in reality, she was the one who became eternal with her courage-, Raquel Orantes recounted how her mother tried to separate from the

who later he would become his murderer.

The shocking story of Raquel Orantes

It is shocking to hear from the daughter of a woman murdered at the hands of her husband how

. "

How "the judge was moved" by a man who cried in front of the Court for a woman, he could not consent:

.

Who was moved then by Ana Orantes?

Nobody.

"We lived in a society in which it was seen socially. There were many other

. It was normal," said

.

What goes through your head when you listen to the daughter of Ana Orantes or hear

through tears denounce that she did not want it to be known that she had been one of those harassed in the Feroz, but that it was found out and pointed out to her? to her and nothing more than her, or when

is heard having to explain again that she did not do it for money but to survive, or when

is heard recounting that of course she has suffered machismo in sport. ..

Well, although it seems that we have come a long way, it is no longer censored, as

was censored in 1973 on public television for talking about feminism, divorce and the pill;

that an artist is no longer forced to put on a shawl or a flower on her neckline so as not to show too much, as

was forced to ;

It no longer seems that what

had to go through in a man of men and only for men, women who raise their voices continue to be singled out.

Yes, before there was no polarization, the one that spoke, the one that denounced, the one that, in short, raised its voice, or silenced it, or covered it up, or ignored it, or pointed it out.

And now that?

Read the verbs.

named her last night

, but just in case we forget: "Malala said we had two options: be silent and die or speak and die. We decided to speak."
