Sushi platter and unfinished wine glbad resting on the table adorn the dressing room Ricardo Montaner, who has everything ready for his presentation at the Villa María Festival. They spent three years of their last meeting with the Argentinian audience, but music is not the only thing that crosses the head of the famous singer-songwriter. Not at this precise moment, despite the long-awaited opportunity. Not now, when the crisis in the country that saw it grow worse by the day.

"I think that Nicolás Maduro 's diet is over, it remains only to see what will happen to the transition, whether it is quiet or that no one knows what' s going on. she can bring ", he says Montaner a few minutes before going on stage.

Born in Argentina, but raised in Venezuela, the singer remembers his years of school and his musical debut in Maracaibo. He is surprised by what has changed his land in recent years: "In my country, things seem lethargic and suddenly, there are new developments that no one had planned, at least one of them, common citizen, think maybe everything was orchestrated or thought by those who do politics. "

In this sense, he places his hopes in Juan Guaidó, who proclaimed himself interim president of Venezuela after Maduro took his second presidency without international recognition: "The new guys, like Juan Guaidó, for example, are an example of what the young politicians, from this typical ego of those who say" I want everything for me ".

Recently, the Vatican has expressed a position of "positive neutrality" in the Venezuelan crisis and Pope Francis refused to intervene in the conflict "Until both parties want it." Montaner He does not hesitate to express his rejection of these statements: "I think you can not be neutral in certain situations, God is the first who is not neutral and if there is anyone who knows Justice, it is Jesus. not say "be warm" or "neutral", but "here you have to go" Being neutral in these circumstances seems to me too comfortable. "

"I am a person and people have the obligation to look at their neighbor, it does not seem logical to worry about you, I do not think God has brought us to the planet for that, he does not did not give us life to be independent individuals without looking around us that's why I'm so worried " add

Consulted if you would be able to "forgive" to the referents of Chavismo because of the critical situation in Venezuela, Montaner that on more than one occasion, he said that he had "Requested" by Mature, He argues that this would not be possible: "Human beings are too fragile and vulnerable to easily handle forgiveness, God loves us so much that he forgives us all, but for me, it is very difficult to forgive 20 years of murder and death."

A few meters from the cloakroom, 12 thousand people shout and applaud Alejandro Lerner, which leaves room for Montaner to take charge of the grand finale of the Villa María festival. Time to sing again. With a gesture like asking permission to do what he does best, he closes: "The people of Venezuela are a people crushed by injustice, God forgive Maduro".
