The election of Juan Manuel Morino, President of the Hunta de Andalusia, to present King Baltasar on the next trip for the Magi in Seville, caused a wave of criticism among those who claim that this practice perpetuates the stereotypes and is racist. In a statement published on Tuesday, the Afro -Pofem team emphasizes that Black face (As is known for practice, that the goal is compiled in black, to impersonate the Afro -Gnesdo) “This is not a tradition, this is racism”, and accuse the president of the board “repeat the shame of Seville”, where this practice survives, painting, to be Baltasar.
Andalusia also opposes what Morino represents Baltasara, and asks for this question in the Andaluz parliament. His representative, Jose Ignacio Garcia, announced on Tuesday that he was “controlled” in the “Political Use” ward and “illusion of children” from the record of four matters: “Help (…) will become part of the institutional agenda of the president or will be an act of a strict personal character? Andalucía has concluded any agreement, a contract or a subsidy with the Seville Athenium over the past five years?
The Seville Athenum, which historically organizes the trip, announced on Monday, which will become components of courtship on January 5. Ivan Bokhork Domeck, Vice -President Smariene; Juan Ignacio Zafra, territorial director of Caixabank andalusia; And Huianma Moreno, President of the Junta de Andalusia, will be wizards. Moreno immediately responded to an ad in the X from the Sevillian institution: “It is very glad to be the next King Baltasar on a trip to Seville. I lived the most magical night with a smile of a child, an illusion with my children, and this year I will never do it with great responsibility.
The black face was already criticized after a trip to Seville this year, after all the political groups Malags agreed with the proposal of Kon Malaga, who from now on Baltasar “will always be embodied in black.” In 2025, he was Mansour Contain, a young man who starred in the salvation of a woman caught in a trap at a gas station on a gas station on Ero -de Sostoa during the flood on November 13.
In Seville, on the other hand, this will continue to be a white person, and this year he will also be president of the junta de Andalusia. “Another year, Cavalcada“ Mages from Seville ”is presented to us as a scenario of deep shame,” they indicate in their statement that a team of activists and educational communication created by Afro -Equinants of women in 2011. “And this time, the blows are even more painful, and, sincerely, great irresponsibility from someone with their power.
“There is no justification for ignorance”
The team indicates that Cherny has “historical roots that stink of mockery, cartoon, already dehumanization of Afro -measured people”, recalling their origin in comedies, which in the United States represented black as a “stupid and small character”. “They laughed at us and strengthened the idea that the whites were higher. In mid -2025, political power decides to detach this practice is simply incomprehensible and unbearable. ”
AFRO -Belki reject that there is ignorance on this problem, which in recent years has been gaining a place in public debate, while the figures indicated for drawing a person such as Antoine Griezmann (in 2017) and an agreement adopted last year in Malaga. “The most serious is that there is no justification for ignorance. This is a calculated, institutional decision with the approval of the political, economic and cultural authorities of Seville and, adding Huang Moreno, with the quiet complicity of the junta de Andalius, gathering in the statement that the usual argument in relation to those who defend this important track record: “main events” in such important events in the Sams.
Afro -Feas also questions that you can wear in the “tradition”, which “is clearly an exception.” “This is inextricable for celebration to be updated in order to be in the way inclusive. That is, the children of our children are that their presence is only if you interpret the goal with a painted face. Your personality is what can be stolen and turned into a disguise to make fun. ”
“A black face is violence in relation to our spirit, it is a lesson in racism, which teaches the youngest that black identity can be parodied and theft from anyone. This is the head of the President of the Junta de Andalucius turn this insult into an official act of contempt for black people in this country and specific Andalusia. This demonstrates the lack of respect that Borbie has, that in the stream, as a result of anesthesia. I received that this caused that in this case it was not the reason that Borbie had it, as a result of which, in order.
