‘Ayuso I like it, it is very pizpireta, as if it were the neighbor in front’

Carmen Lomana does not need presentations. At 76, this fashion expert, writer and businesswoman has been in the houses of millions of Spaniards as a collaborator of all kinds of television and radio programs, participant in competitions and realities as MasterChef or as a face of brands in the very diverse advertising campaigns he has made.

He has always displayed not having problems talking about fashion, beauty or getting wet about politics, monarchy or even Eurovision. It is rare the week in which his name and opinion does not appear linked to the current issueeither with their participation in spaces such as Public mirrorits section in the Cope chain or its column in the reason.

The celebrity It is also a claim for brands. Now it has been one of those chosen by the Choví company, the leader of the sector in Alioli, to promote her new campaign, SALSEO IN THE SQUAREin which it seeks to claim and boost places as spaces that are today more alive than ever. Lomana has gathered with actress Adriana Torrebejano to put voice each her generation and tell how intergenerational coexistence in cities is.

El HuffPost has been able to talk with the celebrity. Lomana, faithful to that self -deficiency that processes, as a person “Very free, openly, nothing sectarian and sincere to always say what I think and not to look good”, He talked about how cities such as Madrid have changed, but also of everything that surrounds the PSOE with the scandal of José Luis Ábalos and Santos Cerdán, as well as the PP of Alberto Núñez Feijóo and Isabel Díaz Ayuso or even Eurovision and the controversy that arose with his opinion on Melody.

The Choví campaign is called ‘Salseo in the square’, are you very much to make life in the square?

There are not many places in the area where I live, but I have terraces. Here I have the Chamberí Square, but it is more for children to play and it is not the typical one we imagine of the peoples. Here in Madrid there is not so much that concept, there will be neighborhoods that yes, but in the area where I live not so much. A classic town square that people are going to talk, play or play the band on Sundays in Madrid is very difficult.

Has that custom been lost in graduates cities like Madrid?

Madrid has grown a lot, before it was a city very, classic, and now it is very international and there are customs that are lost, although they have not been completely lost. In San Isidro, La Paloma does keep dressing in a traditional way, there are verbenas, etc.

Do you like that internationality or multiculturalism that can sometimes seem until it saturates?

No, but it’s selfish. So many people bothers me because almost a time comes that you say we are not even fit, but it is true that they leave a lot of wealth in the city with restoration, taxi drivers, shops, etc. Luxury trade in Madrid and Barcelona is maintained by foreigners. For example, in Madrid they are fundamentally from Venezuela, Mexico and Latin America in general, although there are more and more Americans.

With this internationality, loss of some customs, do you have the feeling that we are increasingly selfish?

To start in general now many people work, whole marriages do so and therefore children leave less. Before I remember that we went out to play on the street and now not because parents are afraid, because there is a lot of insecurity, and that means that parents do not go down to the street either. As a child I played on the street, in the area of ​​the Prado Museum and we were alone, we were eight or nine years old and we went home because there were zero dangers and now there is.

Note insecurity?

I don’t notice anything because where I make life is a safe place. In general, Madrid is a safe place, but as we see so many things I understand that parents are more concerned. It is now almost unthinkable that an eight -year -old girl leaves her home with the sandwich and her friends to play on the street or in the square you have closer, but not because the children have changed, if not because many things have changed.

Also the families, who arrive all day to work and stay to do dinner to rest, watch a movie. Before people had no television and they became life on the street. I was spent pipe with the comma, the chromos, etc. and I did not need a mobile to have a good time.

A few weeks ago, after Eurovision, he assured that Melody was carrying her, a statement that spoke, does he have the feeling that he did not know how to manage the post -lisation?

I had a feeling very similar to what I think I had all of Spain. He was very dedicated to her, to how well he had done it, to which he had worked, to how unfair it had been with her in the vote, but had a rebound of pride, superb and perhaps it had to have been a little more humble. It is true that it is difficult to be when you have left your skin to do something well, because it did very well and the song you can like more or less, but she was great, but then she had that attitude a bit haughty, to criticize TVE and it is thanks to them for those who was there and for those who will have a summer with concerts and galas as she has never had since I know her … I apologize enough because for her she was a very unfair slap.

Did I see her winning or being up?

Yes, I thought I was going to do among the top five, look at the bad eye I must have. It seemed to me the typical festive song to sing, dance and enjoy it at parties and in summer. Eurovision has never distinguished himself by having an impressive musical level because the boy who won seems to me a total roll, he will have a very good voice, he will sing very well, but it seemed very boring. Something more pachanguero is needed, such as the song Espresso Macchiato (from Estonia), which is very funny.

Has it coincided with her?

No, I have coincided with his aunts (he laughs).

And what did they say?

That is very disgusted, but you have to accept things. The aunts sing too.

I have to ask you about political news, not stop and that new news related to the PSOE scandal comes out every day.

I do not understand what a government president can compensate for there, who falls, only because of the desire for power, although every day he has less power because people laugh and is pathetic. If it had gone in a timely manner, all this would have probably stopped and would have remained as a man, but while there he will continue to degrade more and not only he, if not the party, and that is selfish. Socialism is on the soils, if these have to give some social example of mine, it gives a shame to see them … those three, that gang of the three, are pathetic with the appearance they have and with the facts they define themselves.

Is the center -left played in Spain? The Errejón scandal, controversies of churches, this …

I don’t know, because as this country surprises me sometimes, but I imagine that no one with two fingers like it would like to govern this band.

Logic invites you to think about a next Feijóo government, even perhaps with an absolute majority without needing Vox.

I have no idea, it would be good, but I can’t tell you either. I believe that a democratic and liberal party is what we need, a kind of Christian, liberal, tolerant democracy and that should be the PP. I do not put my hand in the fire for anyone, but I know that Feijóo has been governing in Galicia for many years and they have never been able to say anything about having trincated, it seems like a very serious man. That they say that it lacks charisma and such, because it can be, but neither is needed or lacking, I want an honest person who wants to work, look for the best for his country, who knows how to govern and give a few years of his life for Spain, for unifying it and for not creating tensions between them.

Are you more from Feijóo, that more moderate profile, or does the march go more with a figure like Ayuso?

Ayuso like it, is very pizpireta, as if he were the neighbor in front of the neighborhood and is a person who connects very well. It is good people, the problem is that the problem of the boyfriend has harmed him, but they are things that come to him without being able to avoid them. I believe that the mixture of the two is fine and of course Ayuso in Madrid is doing very well, it is only yet to see the change that Madrid has given.

When his brother came out as Vox deputy for Albacete, he asked not to be linked to Vox, do they tell him a lot?

I have nothing to do with them, although I introduced myself for them to do them a favor when no one knew them. Great nonsense because I did not want to be in politics or anything, but as Vox has evolved every day I like less, but not for nothing, they say things that I agree, but in all the games there is a part of them that seem very good to you, another that no, but until they are governing you do not know how they are.

That’s when the cotton filter is passed.

Yes, I’m not going to put my hand in the fire for anyone. That I am not going to vote for Pedro, of course not.
