Carlos Manfroni, the former member of the OAS expert group, was in communication with Fontevecchia modeby net tv and RadioProfile (FM 101.9) and he announced what his latest novel is about and how he believes that fiction will become reality. “The argument revolves around the struggle of the main characters to vindicate the civil liberties of the citizens” anticipated the lawyer.
Your novel is somewhat controversial in terms of gender, tell me a little
The novel points to gender groups that are restricting the freedoms of others. A paradox is that one begins by claiming freedoms and then ends up restricting the freedoms of others. In the plot of the novel, opera is prohibited because it is considered a patriarchal genre.
It is not about one opera, but about all of them. I chose opera because it is a musical genre that appeared more than 400 years ago, that is universal and that exalts the virtues of men and women.
The plot, so as not to spoil, revolves around the struggle of the main characters to vindicate the civil liberties of citizens and to defy that tremendous prohibition that governs Buenos Aires in 2028, and the character finds himself in 2029 with He banned the opera.
How much of surrealism and premonition? Do you think this is going to happen or do you raise it out of ridicule?
Soon reality will be stranger than fiction. There are operas that are no longer performed, due to self-censorship. There are criticisms of art for representing the distinction between men and women, reality advances by leaps and bounds and can surpass fiction.
Do you think this is what can happen?
I think this can happen, and inclusive language is a demonstration. That is, in what way seeks to impose inclusive language in a certain environment.
Can you imagine the ban on Nabokov’s Lolita?

Give us a summary of your ideological position (minority issues)
I am a liberal in terms of economic and political policy itself, I fully adhere to representative, republican and federal democracy. I am a practicing Catholic, and I cannot be asked to depart from my Catholic conviction, even though today there are more and more questions to the postulates of certain religions.

Do you observe that in the cases of Bolsonaro, Trump and Meloni, these issues are the most important electoral tool? Do you perceive that it is one of the elements that divide societies?
What happens is that when a lot of force is applied in one direction, after This type of reaction occurs that end up being a target of electoral propaganda.
What is your vision of them?
First you have to distinguish between native peoples and those who are not. In the specific case of the Mapuches in Argentina, they were never native, and if there was a genocide it was the one they practiced with respect to the Tehuelches, with respect to the pampas and they did not go further because they did not have time. That is to say, I believe that under the shield of native peoples there are other interests that are looking for a land grab. They settle where there are energy sources, where they can obstruct, the atrocities they are committing in southern Argentina cannot be claimed.
There are peoples that are truly native to whom no attention is paid, the case of the qoms in the north and the guaranies on the coast

In what sense the position of Javier Milei?… I clarify that I collaborate with JxC.
And Javier Milei, what do you think?
Good. He has had the merit of vindicating economic freedom in front of the youth. If you ask me who I identify with the most within the political arc, it is with Patricia Bullrich.
Do you share the idea that individual freedom is absolute and a person can decide to do what they want with their body?
What are the scopes of that? If by doing with your body what you want you mean the abortion, no, I do not share it because science has accurately determined that there is a person inside the mother.
And sell an organ?
Not in any way.
