Tenoch Huerta launches himself against criticism and defends the series on drug traffickers

Criminal series have always caused a lot of controversy among viewers. The so-called narco series are one of the products that divides public opinion the most and everyone has a position on it. Tenoch Huertawho worked on “Narcos: Mexico” recently spoke about the criticisms and defended this type of product.

The actor, who has often spoken about the racist prejudices he faces due to his nationality and physique, starred Rafal Dear Quintero for the Netflix series Tenoch Huerta, a role that is also highly criticized, as for many this type of series ends up romanticizing the image of drug traffickers and promoting organized crime.

In an interview that Huerta gave to Escorpión Dorado, on Millenniumthe actor, who is promoting ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’, has rejected criticism of this type of series, giving his position on the allegations of a certain sector of the public, explaining that it seems absurd to him to think that why someone who sees a series of narcos will want to become a narcos.

Let’s be honest, you remember Ovid, that there was a gang that had guns to shoot down planes, I wonder, do you think that guy was sitting in his house and said ‘Kate del Castillo made a series of drug dealers, ah egg, Am I a drug dealer? I mean, I’m going to spend thousands of dollars because I saw Kate del Kastillo, ”Huerta said

Similarly, Huerta pointed out that the problem, for him, comes from politicians and government corruption, which is seen every day in all the news, from criminals who simply go free to others who never go to jail. The actor believes that taking the narco series as an excuse only ignores government responsibilities.

You think the fucking Genaro García Luna said, “Guey, don’t suck, Diego Luna appears in the drug series, I’ll be a dealer.” Do you think Felipe Calderón saw ‘The Lord of Heaven’ and said: “I will become a narco-president, I don’t think so …, don’t people become drug traffickers by watching a movie?” the actor said

Tenoch Huerta also spoke of Mexican politicians Elba Esther Gordillo and Rosario Robles

In the same interview with the Golden Scorpion, Tenoch Huerta, also star of the Mexican film ‘Güeros’, even mentioned Elba Estere Gordillo Y Rosario Quercetwo characters of Mexican politics, who, from the actor’s position, he holds responsible for why people are so doubtful about the punishments of the government authorities.

Because people become colas … because they see that Gordillo is already out of the dairy, Rosario Robles … acquitted. People become delinquents because you have authority that they are delinquents and no one touches them. It is not because people have heard the Tigres del Norte. Don’t be pending… it seems absurd to me, ”Huerta said

On the other hand, the actor claimed that films like “Spider-Man” in which a character is thrown from above, have not been criticized, nor do people throw themselves from buildings as said character. This, continuing with his stance in the face of criticisms of the narco series, while giving them a certain point, insists on not normalizing certain behaviors.

The position of Huerta can generate, once again, a sensation of criticism towards the author. He became known for his strong stance against racism in Mexico, raising his voice from Twitter or even, at the last Comic-Con in San Diego, where he spoke about the importance of inclusion in cinema, this before the its recent addition to the MCU.
