translated from Spanish: Celebrities who said no to politics and decided to stay away

In the electoral campaign of the PASO 2021, and the spots have given to talk with propaganda inspired by the trap to capture the young vote to dances in portaligas in front of the Congress. Given this strategy to seduce voters, it is not surprising that many spaces have tried to add popular figures to their lists. While Amalia Granata seeks a seat as a senator for the PRO in Santa Fe, Luis Brandoni is part of the UCR list in the City and Cinthia Fernández tries to get a place as a national deputy for Unite, some celebrities refused to venture into politics. The most resonant case was that of Mónica Farro, who threatened with a candidacy in the legislative elections. In dialogue with TN Show, the vedette explained why she did not move forward with any of the proposals she received. Her idea was to get involved in order to address issues related to women’s rights, but she encountered an impediment. “I’m not a citizen and I can’t run for anything,” she explained. In addition, he gave his opinion on the colleagues participating in the elections. “Let everyone handle themselves as they want and feel, then people will choose,” he said. One of the actors they tried to summon from a match was Alfredo Casero. “To all those who are going to fight for the country, for the Homeland, we want them in our team and among them is Alfredo,” Patricia Bullrich said in TN. However, that offer remained an anecdote and did not go beyond a television comment. “Never in my life did they offer me a candidacy because they couldn’t handle me. They need people who are one’s soldiers,” former Cha Cha Cha revealed in a recent interview with Solo una vuelta más (TN). Others received offers to join spots. One is Hernán Drago, who refused on more than one occasion. “I hope for many years not to get involved in politics and I would not like to relate to any flag, they offered me several times and offered me a lot of money to make a spot in the last elections but there are things that money does not buy,” he said in dialogue with Juan Etchegoyen in Mitre Live.At the time, although he did not reveal what were the spaces that tried to convince him, he did say how much he was offered to star in a 15-second propaganda: a million and a half pesos. Consulted by TN Show, the member of Bienvenidos a Bordo (eltrece) preferred not to talk about it again. “In this country and right now, I try to be careful and stay very much out of politics,” he said.
A case very similar to that of Drago is that of Dani La Chepi. “Not many years ago I was called to offer a fortune of silver. I would have moved a long time ago if I had said yes,” he revealed. What did he have to do? Publish some stories in which he praised the care and lighting of a municipality. “That’s what they do invest in.”
In mid-2019, Sol Pérez surprised when she said she would like to be a deputy. In an interview granted to Infama Recargado (America), when talk of the legislative elections was already beginning, the former climate girl related what her motivation was: her grandmother was hit by a car in front of the Bocalandro hospital, located in Loma Hermosa, and they never managed to identify the person responsible for her death. My grandmother’s was a before and after. It changed me in everything: my way of thinking about life, my way of standing before a laburo, before a relationship, before my family. When you live situations that are limit you mark and you are no longer the same, “he said. Then, he lamented how officials develop: “Those who come to power are not the ones who really want to help. We all become chess pieces of those who have a lot of power, a lot of money, whatever the political party. We are chess pieces and they move us and tell us what we want to hear.”
