The 'playback' of the Valencia City Councilor Carlos Galiana who pretended to speak in English under his mask has been cause for laughter on the networks, has generated a multitude of memes and has even reached outside our borders.
The prestigious English newspaper
The Guardian
has echoed the news and has compared the performance of the councilor - Galiana, by the way, is an actor - with the great lie of the
Mili Vanilly
group
.
'
Mili Vanilly moment?
Valencia's voice behind mask not what it seems
(Momento Mili Vanilli? The voice of Valencia behind the mask is not what it seems) ', read the newspaper.
The German duo of Rob Pilatus and Fab Morvan had great success in the late 1980s and even
won a Grammy for Best New Artist in 1990
.
Until, that same year, the deception was discovered: Morvan and Pilatus had not recorded any of their songs and were limited to lip-
syncing
and lending their image.
They took away the Grammy.
And it is that Galiana's deception has given a lot of play.
The spokesman for Citizens in the Valencian Courts,
Toni Cantó
, described the mayor as "Monchito Galiana" on his Twitter account and assured that "if José Luis Moreno sees him, he will sign him as a doll."
Last Thursday,
Valencia aspired to become the European Capital of Innovation for 2020
.
It was one of the six cities that had passed all the stages of the selection process, but its candidacy finally did not reach the last and final step: the winner was the Belgian town of Leuven.
Carlos Galiana was the only one of the six municipal representatives who participated in the program who appeared before the cameras with a mask.
Behind her, he spun his entire speech in English but
it was not him who spoke but a translator with an excellent level of English
.
The Valencian mayor
regretted "deeply" his decision
, apologized and admitted that this decision "was not the most appropriate."
"I deeply regret that a specific and individual action is taking the limelight from all this journey and work that, on the other hand, we have been carrying out for years from different areas, to position ourselves as a recognizable pole of innovation within Europe."
"The decision I made yesterday to carry out my intervention with a translator was with the intention that the message to be transmitted arrived in the clearest way possible, but
seen from a distance I have realized that it was not the most appropriate,
" he admitted.
Galiana made these statements in a statement, after criticism received from opposition groups and the considerations of his government partners, who described his intervention as a
"specific error"
, despite applauding his work at the head of the council.
