The high-profile investigation launched by German authorities following the Roger Waters show in Berlin made headlines around the world. The musician immediately went out to answer the accusations of “exalting or justifying the National Socialist regime” by the character of “Pink” and the images that are seen on the screens of the tour shows This Is Not a Drill. And some Argentine colleagues have a few things to say regarding it.
Raúl Porchetto: “Defaming and dirtying the field are recurring strategies of the powers that be. You just have to look at the coherence, the commitment and the artistic work of Waters and those who accuse him, and there is the answer. As ‘Us and Them’ says, that Pink Floyd song: ‘And in the end it’s just roundregarding'”.
Marian farias Gómez: “It would never cross my mind that Roger Waters had Nazi ideas. On the contrary, he is a man who has fought for peace, and has experienced the fury of the Nazis firsthand, due to the death of his father in World War II. I admire his fight for peace and unity, and the film The Wall it seems to me a fundamental document so that those of our generation and those to come take the example of what happened. I do not agree with the German government, in censoring him and in wanting to prosecute Waters. Above all, whatever anyone thinks, freedom of expression is essential for countries that claim to be democratic to really be so”.
I think flock: “I think Roger’s discharge is perfect, he has been talking regarding the same thing for more than 40 years and in the 80s it was obvious that all his symbology was once morest repression. I suppose this is a personal attack on the one hand as he says, but endorsed by an increasingly foolish and manipulated political correctness which gradually eliminates humor, satire and finally criticism. Under the fallacy of not offending anyone, issues are silenced in a true fascism of ideas. Now we talk regarding Waters and his controversy instead of talking regarding the right-wing of the world that he wants to expose ”.
Dani Ferron: “I think that questioning an artist like Roger Waters, once morest him for incitement to hate, brings regarding the game of antagonists, as long as the message is purely inverted. Putting someone in that place, whose father was assassinated by the Nazis and throughout his life referred to authoritarianism and oppression, as he well stated throughout his life, and all of his creation being known for so many years. years, is show that everything for which he is accused, This is what the accusatory inquisitor committee really suffers from: Inciting the Hate of everyone who expresses their art in the Absolute Freedom to Do, Say and Think Freely. ‘The Jailers of Humanity’, as Charly García says, never stop acting on those who are free in the sight of all and for all, without the need to manifest themselves in the eye of ostracism and darkness”.
Ezequiel You were sweating (little tree): “The only thing that was missing, Pink Floyd Nazis, with everything they taught us… and it turns out that now fascism is dressed in freedom and respect. It seems fashionable. An artist and a work that for almost half a century have been opening our heads and hearts to several generations, always condemning oppression, wars, the injustices of the system, is accused of being a Nazi because he goes on and on with his values and his responsibility. Hold on Roger! We are millions who grew up and militate freedoms thanks to you. Not pass.”
Tilín orozco: “Now the tree pisses the dog…”
Chair Califa (writer and editor, former Director of El Libro Foundation): “Writing regarding the effects of the Spanish conquest in America, Pablo Neruda said: ‘They left us the words’. It is a good thing that he does not live because he would attend the colossal theft of words that we suffer today. In 2018, when we prevented, in a room at the Book Fair, the crime of exalting State terrorism, a group called the president of Fundación El Libro a Nazi. Another current plague are those of the party of the literals. I did not say liberals, a word with which a kind of scam is also exercised in Argentina, since it has historically been usurped by conservatives and neo-fascists. The literals are those who do not even understand the metaphor that alludes to the Moon as gruyere cheese. Although I believe that in the case that Waters suffers, other living people can hide who no longer want to talk regarding history to their liking, but simply that it does not exist. In the US there are those who ask that it be eliminated as a school subject. Here they exchanged the heroes of our formation as a sovereign country for fauna, with all the respect and protection that fauna deserves. Others, from a dumb “progressivism”, recently tried to rewrite the work of Roald Dahl. At the rate we’re going not even the turtle Manuelita will be saved… whose shell resembles a military helmet.”
Pedro Saborido: “In the event that one day you are once morest something, in what way do you have to be? It is clear that there will always be a pedagogy of how to behave, and here they are marking it to Roger Waters. Fucking.”
