María Patiño puts Víctor Sandoval against the ropes: 'That's a speech of...'

In Ni que fuéramos, there was a moment of great tension. Today's broadcast was marked by a direct confrontation between María Patiño and Víctor Sandoval. The host put Víctor Sandoval on the spot after commenting, "That's a speech from someone whose ground is shaking because they don't want to change it."

It all started when the show's management had to apologize due to an incident that occurred last Friday. During that broadcast, a person of Asian descent was brought to the set, and the collaborators referred to him as "Chinese." This caused discomfort among part of the audience, leading the team to address the issue today.

María Patiño took the floor to address the situation: "There was no bad intention," she explained, trying to calm things down. However, her comment wasn't well received by Víctor Sandoval, who made his stance clear. "I don't think we did anything wrong, it's their country," the collaborator replied, in a tone that caused more tension on the set.

María Patiño Puts Víctor Sandoval on the Spot

María, visibly upset, replied firmly. "If you want to stay stuck in the past, I'll buy it," she declared, making her discontent with her colleague's attitude clear. However, the discussion didn't end there.

Sandoval continued to defend his point of view: "What are you on about? If he's from China, he's Chinese. If he's from Algete, he's from Algete. It would be different if he were Filipino and I called him Chinese."

The tension on the set increased. María Patiño, remaining firm, wanted to focus the debate on what's important. "You're not the focus we're discussing, it was the show," María confessed.

"Víctor, if the show's director pulls my ears when we do something wrong and we can change to do something better, I do it because there were people who felt uncomfortable. And that's it. It takes so little," she said, trying to close the topic.

Víctor Sandoval Doesn't Agree with María's Words

Far from giving in, Sandoval continued with his argument. "If you don't want to apologize because you don't feel it, then don't. That's social hypocrisy and I'm not a hypocrite," he stated with determination.

These words caused María to raise her voice again: "There are no hypocrites here. There are two ways to face things: those who want to learn, let them learn, and those who stay stuck in the past, let them do so."

The confrontation put Víctor on the spot, who failed to convince the rest of the team or much of the audience with his stance. For her part, María Patiño made her commitment to evolution and learning clear, emphasizing the importance of listening to others and being self-critical. This debate, full of intensity, reflected two very different ways of addressing mistakes and responding to criticism.

The show concluded with a bittersweet taste. The discussion remained unsolved, but it served to open a debate on cultural sensitivity and the power of words. Once again, Ni que fuéramos demonstrated that it is also a space to reflect on issues that matter to today's society.
