At the La Revuelta show in Madrid, actress Candela Peña openly supported the idea of legalizing migrants, emphasizing that it’s not about politics, but about common sense. According to her, many women are forced to leave their own children in order to work in other families, and this is a difficult ordeal often accompanied by low pay and lack of official status.
Peña drew attention to the common practice of paying domestic workers 6 euros per hour without formal contracts. She sharply condemned such treatment, calling it a form of exploitation and a basic lack of respect for people. The actress also spoke out against those who employ African seasonal workers for minimal wages, stressing that such cases cannot be justified by economic reasons or traditions.
Criticism of violence at children’s matches
Another topic of her speech was the problem of aggression at children’s sports competitions. Candela Peña said that at matches where her son plays, she has repeatedly encountered rudeness and even incitement to violence from parents and coaches. According to her, some mothers openly support aggressive behavior, and coaches sometimes encourage players to break the rules unnoticed by referees. The actress urged not to raise children in a spirit of aggression and reminded that sport should remain a safe space for teenagers.
Discussion of beauty standards
During the broadcast, Peña also touched on the topic of rapid weight loss through medication, calling such methods dangerous and comparing them to the imposition of unrealistic beauty standards. She noted that many people resort to these means, even if they are not always willing to admit it publicly.
Reaction of colleagues and public response
Candela Peña’s speech received a positive reaction from viewers and the program’s guests. Actress María Galiana called her a “national pride” and noted that after such a performance, it’s hard to add anything new. Peña admitted that she especially values the support of women, but stressed that she does not accept those who consciously violate the rights of others.
Issues surrounding the legalization of migrants and working conditions for domestic staff remain relevant for Spain. As the experience of other regions shows, social tensions on such topics can lead to mass protests and even the cancellation of regular events. For example, in Catalonia, a mass teachers’ boycott threatened the holding of summer camps, impacting hundreds of families and workers— details about the situation in Catalonia.
