Xavier Sarda last Tuesday he starred in one of the most talked about moments of ‘Afternoon’. The program put on the table the crisis that shellfish farmers are experiencing in Galicia just a few weeks before Christmas, a topic that gave rise to a tense scuffle between the former host of ‘Crónicas Marcianas’ and Mario Vaquerizo.
“We have Christmas here and there is a shortage of seafood,” he began warning Ana Rose while Sarda He chose to reduce the drama of the matter: “Poor collectors. For them it’s a bitch. But if the rest of us don’t eat seafood, nothing happens.”
An argument that did not convince Mario Vaquerizo: “Yes, but we have to think about everyone.” “You also have to think about good traditions. A Christmas without seafood is not the same”he assured to Sardà’s surprise: “Oh, yes? But why?”
“Because it is a tradition. I believe that classic was always modern”the collaborator insisted before taking a cut from his partner. “Another modern man who has become conservative”he exclaimed in a clear allusion to the ideology of the vocalist of the Nancys Rubias.
“No, no, no,” Vaquerizo defended himself while Sardà emphasized with laughter what he had just said: “Yes you have done it, yes you have done it”. “Being conservative is not at odds with modernity,” she added before unsuccessfully asking the audience on set for applause.
