“My beloved Venezuela, as a man of media and television, as an actor and storyteller“Storyteller, I want to tell you one more story: are you listening? Come on. What we are seeing and hearing on social media is a dark script, a dark script that is poorly written and poorly acted, very poorly acted; it is the same bad scriptwriter who wrote the ‘Carmonazo’ and the same writer of the shots in Puente Llaguno, then blaming the national government; the same scriptwriter of the cessation of darkness from the National Assembly, remember?” said the interpreter, referring to the historic events that Venezuela experienced on April 11, 12 and 13, 2002, when the coup d’état against Chavez for his erroneous policies with the nationalization of several companies, such as Pdvsa (Petroleos de Venezuela).
“The same bad writer of Guaid’s self-appointment as interim president, the same writer of the criminal riots, is the same bad scriptwriter of the sanctions, the same mediocre scriptwriter of the Chavistas forced to march or they are fired, one, two and three. And more recently, the same scriptwriter of the movie They cut my brakes, they want to kill me…and he is also the same scriptwriter who plans to end his story by singing fraud so that the hegemonic media in the world will repeat it, repeat his lies as they repeated the false attack on the disqualified woman,” he added, showing several videos of Juan Guaido on January 5, 2019, when he was named interim president by the National Assembly, and of María Corina Machado when she denounced an assassination attempt 10 days before the presidential election on July 28.
Leonardo Padrn comes to light in statements by Fernando Carrillo
Likewise, Fernando Carrillo brought up the work of Venezuelan writer Leonardo Padrn, who is in exile as part of the more than 7.7 million Venezuelans, according to figures from UNHCR.
“Let’s not be fooled, let’s not be fooled by a shoddy and incoherent script. This is a fourth-rate scriptwriter, or rather a fourth-rate one; one of those who will never write the history of this new Venezuela again. They should have given that novel to Leonardo Padrón who – although he hates me and has sabotaged my career for 20 years, along with other illustrious Venezuelans in the industry – at least has the talent of a writer; although his hatred has made him ugly, overweight, aged, have you seen him?” said the protagonist of Abigal.
“This shows that whoever messes with Venezuela dries up and withers away. I am Fer and like most people, Fer is Venezuela. So whoever messes with Fer also dries up. I am a patriotic artist from Venezuela and since I love Venezuela, I have a new script for the country. A script and a script of love, a super script. paw (patrol), “a script where we will tell the best stories in the world and where the greatest artists of the planet converge; it is a script of love, theirs is a script of hate. You will say, which script?, which script?, which story do we Venezuelans prefer?: the one of hate or the one of love. They say that we are ugly and we are apes, what do you think?, are we ugly?, are we apes?, are we uneducated and classless people?, please…”, added Fernando Carrillo.
“Everyone stop following this Chavista”
In response to this controversial video, which has more than 348 thousand views on Instagram so far, netizens repudiated the 58-year-old performer, who has not lived in Venezuela for several years.
“Everyone stop following this Chavista”, “Stop following this guy”, “Enough is enough. Stay in Mexico, be happy with your family and let the Venezuelan people be happy. Enjoy everything you were able to obtain with the Chavez and Maduro governments. All Venezuelans and non-Venezuelans who have lived their entire lives in Venezuela and those of us who have had to leave, want to experience change and have hope of returning to Venezuela without feeling afraid”, “My God. And how can you ignore the clamor of a people?”, “What have you become? What a disappointment”, are some of the comments from followers on the social network.
Actor booed during 28J presidential election
This rejection adds to another that the actor experienced on July 28 when he traveled to Venezuela to vote. Upon leaving the voting center, Fernando Carrillo was booed by the citizens who were in the vicinity of the place.
“Shameless,” “Out, shameless,” “Sellout,” “Strappy,” were some of the words and phrases that the Venezuelans shouted at him, while the interpreter turned a blind eye, recording himself with his cell phone.
Support for the dictatorship
This is not the first time that Fernando Carrillo has shown his affection for the dictatorship. In 2022, he traveled to the South American nation to show – from his perspective – what life is like in Venezuela in the midst of the socio-political and humanitarian crisis.
From his Instagram, the Caracas native questioned the facts and assured that there is no dictatorship.
“They go crazy haters (enemies) with my truth and my reality. It seems that there were never children working in the streets of Venezuela and the entire continent. There are children at every traffic light on the continent, working. There are children in Venezuela selling newspapers since I was born. Venezuela is on the rise and there are many of us angels who are betting on this beautiful nation. I am sorry if it hurts those who do not believe in Venezuela and prefer a war or invasion. There is much to do and produce in this beautiful country. Do you want to produce and grow or do you want to hate and go backwards and never advance? Thank you,” Carrillo wrote on January 22 on the social network.
