This Friday, the recent release of Shakira has generated controversy in And now Sonsoleswhere the theme of the song has been discussed, which seems to vindicate the state of singleness and female freedom.
The lyrics of the new song have sparked an intense exchange of opinions among the television show’s commentators, especially among the collaborator Teresa Bueyes and the presenter Sonsoles Ónega.
During the broadcast, Bueyes has expressed his disagreement with the message conveyed by the Colombian artist. “I think about the empowerment of women is a hateful word. Women are empowered by the fact of having a job, being autonomous liberals… Not because Shakira comes and tells us that it is better to be single, married or vengeful, how she is in this case,” he argued.
The lawyer has also gone on to affirm that the singer “has crossed limits”, by offering, in her opinion, “a negative and pejorative image of women”, insinuating that a spiteful attitude is promoted. “Let her let go now, let her live life and dedicate herself to herself, let her Women don’t need to be hooked on revenge either.“, he concluded.
For his part, Ónega has defended a very different approach, pointing out the emotional impact of Shakira’s songs on a female audience who goes through situations similar to those described in his compositions.
“I don’t really agree with Bueyes’ opinion,” commented Ónega. “Every time Shakira makes a song there is one who has just been ‘gored’, one who has recently been betrayed who feels identified and gives her strength. It’s just that we don’t want to be quiet“he remarked.
