  • Controversy: Javier Bardem insults the mayor of Madrid: "That stupid Almeida wants to reverse central Madrid"
  • Greta Thunberg "Hope is here with you, not with politicians"

The actor Javier Bardem has apologized for insulting this Friday during the March for Climate held in Madrid to the mayor of Madrid, José Luis Martínez-Almeida , and the US president, Donald Trump , whom he called "stupid" during the reading of the manifesto minutes before she took the stand and the activist Greta Thunberg took the floor.

Bardem has apologized this morning after receiving dozens of criticisms not only for the insult itself, but because his words captured all the attention overshadowing the true message of the demonstration . By posting a thread on Twitter, the actor has acknowledged that " the insult illegitimates any speech and conversation . That is why I apologize for letting myself be carried away by an impulse at all constructive that skinny favor does to the true message, unique and really important."

Bardem's message continues by pointing out that "the irrefutable data warns us of the climatic urgency we are in and the need for them to take measures and commitments to reverse their galloping progress by all countries."

The insult of Javier Bardem monopolized all the outbreaks and the mayor of the capital did not take long to respond through his Twitter account by publishing a brief, but lethal tweet, which accompanied information that says that Bardem was sentenced to pay 151,000 euros for defrauding the Treasury .

"The typical clever, that yes very progressive, who thinks that paying taxes does not go with him, " said the message of Martinez Almeida. The mayor picked up a notice from El Confidencial where it is narrated that the Supreme Court imposed on the actor two sanctions of 151,000 euros for minor tax violations arising from the IRPF settlement. The actor responded in his day to this information with a statement in which he said that "years ago" that their irregularities with the Treasury were resolved and that the sanction was caused by a disparity of criteria between the Treasury and its tax advisors, something that " it happens to thousands of people every year, "he argued.

The controversy was served. Not only did the mayor respond to the actor, but Bardem's "stupid" became Trending Topic and there were many others who took the opportunity to enter the mud . For example, the deputy of Citizens Marcos de Quinto who also assured Twitter that "today, denying the evidence of the climate crisis can become" as stupid "as continuing to defend communism as a formula for progress."

The former deputy of Citizens, Juan Carlos Girauta , also responded to Bardem's words with a brief, but resounding message on Twitter: "Gilipollas . " Javier Maroto , senator of the PP, did not miss the opportunity to respond to the actor with another message on the social network: "I did not remember the opportunist role of the Bardem from that forced" not to war "or something. Now it turns out that gets off a business class flight (which does not pollute almost anything ..) to, trying to insult the mayor of Madrid, try again on TV. "

Even Albert Boadella has entered the controversy by stating that "if he had kept a healthy distance between his roles and real life today we would have Bardem for what he is. The great actor doesn't have enough? Why does he have to play the role of papanatas ? "

Not only politicians and public figures reacted to the insults of Bardem, but many citizens strongly criticized that his speech had taken center stage to what really was important, the Climate March and the urgency of measures to combat it. In addition, there have been many who have reproached the Spanish actor for the use of polluting cars , among many other things.

In short, his words stole all the prominence of the reason for the March for Climate held Friday in Madrid, something that the actor seems to have been fully aware of and therefore decided to rectify, since Bardem has involved a lot with climate change in recent months .

In fact, this Friday Javier Bardem not only participated in the Climate March, but also presented at the Climate Summit in Madrid (COP25) the documentary Sanctuary , which the actor has recorded with Greenpeace. Bardem is the protagonist of an environmental organization campaign to protect Antarctica . And it was during the presentation of the documentary where the interpreter already resorted to insult to qualify climate change deniers. "He who denies this phenomenon portrays himself with a real stupid."

Bardem traveled 10 days with Greenpeace to get to know the south pole and its ecosystem , interacting with penguins, seals, whales and killer whales. The actor also dared to visit the bottom of the ocean in a scientific subamerino and participated in some of the investigations that experts carry out in the place with the aim of making the area a "sanctuary" free from the hand of man.
