During your participation in the program Without filtersthe national artist Oscar Andrade took a moment to reply to the tweets issued by the exPrisioneros, Claudio Nareadue to their opposing political views.

However, in that same instance he took the opportunity to criticize other artists of the time. “I don’t know any artist, over 40 years old, who is not a leftist for convenience”he stated at the time.
The aforementioned words were questioned by the former member of Los Prisioneros, who wrote: “I never saw him on any stage from 83 onwards. He was not an artist committed to the fight against the dictatorship. Don’t sell him as a leftist because he wasn’t. Celebrate it as one of the Rejection just, to dry ”.
The latest on Andrade: I never saw him on any stage from ’83 onwards. He was not an artist committed to the fight against the dictatorship. Don’t sell him as a leftist because he wasn’t. Celebrate it as one of Rejection, just plain.

“The fights with the people from the café on the hill, who he self-exiled in Germany because they didn’t bother him“, The woman managed to say, to which Andrade replied: “But if you are censored that way, the hypocritical majority, at least Pinochet had a public blacklist, he was much more honest”.
