For this purpose, Iglesias shared images of the messages he exchanged via WhatsApp with Polimá’s manager. “With these screenshots of the conversations with Nicolás Morales, Polimá’s manager, It is clear that what they are trying to install is completely false“, posted the candidate for the mayoral chair.
“I’m sorry for what happened to @richboywest and the funa and cancel culture They will pressure for tomorrow’s show to be lowered,” the candidate also wrote.
Then he pointed directly at the singer and indicated that “it is a very bad precedent and that Polimá, pressured by comments from political groups on social networks, blatantly lie and deny that the event scheduled for tomorrow was not for a campaign closein this case my candidacy for mayor.”
“For several weeks, since October 7, I was in constant contact with his team looking at details of the contract and trying to make the event a contribution to the community. What’s more: I was particularly careful not to politicize the concert, because ultimately what it was about was having a top-level artist available to everyone.“Agustín Iglesias assured.
