The title of Spain’s Eurovision song “Zorra" can be translated as an anti-female slur, and it's causing a storm among conservatives and feminists
MADRID -- Spain’s Eurovision song “Zorra,” whose title can be translated as an anti-female slur, is causing a storm among conservatives and feminists while Socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez says he likes it.
The song by the duo Nebulossa was chosen Saturday as Spain’s offering for the Eurovision song contest in May. The music platform Spotify had it as the most viral tune in Spain and No. 3 worldwide Wednesday.
But there have been critics.
The Feminist Movement of Madrid filed a complaint about the song this week with state media and requested its withdrawal from Eurovision, saying it insults women.
One Spanish bishop, José Ignacio Munilla, said the song “denigrates” women and was evidence of a cultural crisis in Spain.
