Miguel Rellán Calls Spain "Detestable" and "Fantastic" in Provocative New Interview

Madrid, Spain - Veteran Spanish actor Miguel Rellán has ignited discussion with his recent, highly candid remarks concerning Spain, made during an interview promoting his new film, "El Cautivo." Rellán offered a nuanced, at times contradictory, perspective on his homeland, initially stating, "España me parece un país detestable" (Spain seems like a detestable country to me), further elaborating on what he perceives as an "ill-mannered" society and "fanatical politicians" whose interests appear limited to "football and terraces." However, Rellán quickly shifted his tone, subsequently describing Spain as a "fantastic country." He highlighted the diligent nature of its citizens, noting how "la gente madruga para levantar el bar" (people wake up early to open the bar) and mentioning the early morning work of fishermen and the reliable functioning of trains "a pesar de todos los pesares" (despite all the hardships). The actor also shared an anecdote about his foreign friends, or "guiris," who express bewilderment at the constant complaints from Spaniards, despite viewing Spain as a "maravilloso" (marvelous) nation. Rellán's evolving commentary provides a complex portrait of national sentiment, reflecting both deep-seated frustrations and profound admiration for the country's unique character and the resilience of its people. His statements are expected to provoke further dialogue on Spanish identity and societal values.
