San José carries his halo, his brown hair, his black robe and even a tiny belt.Beside her, the Virgin Mary looks wider, a little oval, with her white dress, her blue veil and her own circle, a crown that indicates her holiness.Among them, Jesus rests in his crib, covered with a blue cloth.A priori, it is a normal nativity scene;A posteriori, no.It is made with penis -shaped gofres.
The Bethlehem is exposed in the six venues of the Verguería, a company that sells the already famous candy -shaped sweet and phallus, although it has been in Seville where it has aroused more opposition.Vox and the Spanish Christian Lawyers Foundation have made two complaints because it is an offense against religious feelings.
The Courts of Instruction number 15 and number of 20 of Seville have already opened previous proceedings against the "Erotic Bethlehem".The president of the party in Seville, Javier Cortés, has defended that his group comes out "in defense of those who see their trampled religious feelings" because they believe "in the real respect and coexistence".
Andrea Suárez, the owner, who went from being a porn actor to set up this bakery, explains in conversation with the Spanish that his workers have had to face expletives on the web and face -to -face, because of some passers -by."We are not going to take it out.They are insulting us.Some enter and form scandal, they call us scoundrels, they tell us that we put our parents in the nativity scene.They release very large nonsense, but they will not get anything, ”he says.
His decision was not born from any hidden or disturbing purpose, according to emphasized.“I do it because I like Christmas, and it's not that I have placed a dildo there, I put my product.Although I am sure they would have criticized me even if I put the typical figurines, ”he says.
THE VERGUERÍA DE SITGES.THE SPANISH
The idea occurred to one of his workers and he seconded her and decided.The first opened it in November 2020, in Sitges, and the second in April of this year in the Andalusian capital.His success extended to Pamplona, Zaragoza, Bilbao and Mallorca.And he has only had these brawls on the manger in the Andalusian capital."I don't know what happens to people.They are very closed ”, highlights.
He affects that he would only obey the order of a judge, since he considers that it is not a specific case, but that there are people who do not like the business."They look for any excuse to go against us and we don't get with anyone, but we are free to do what we want.".He doesn't care, he remembers that Vox tried to censor his shop windows in Mallorca and failed."They make populism against anything.If you don't want to come to see it, then they don't pass by ".
"They knew they offended"
"Unnecessary and free", are the two words he uses, Poland Castellanos, president of the Spanish Christian Lawyers Foundation."They knew that they offended and seems execrable that they use galic symbols and other figures to represent one of the important scenes of Catholics," says.
She does not live in Seville, but the news reached them directly from the mouth and fingers of the offended.They were written, they were called, they asked them to take action on the matter."Our complaint is part of a crime against religious feelings.This is defended by practically all European countries and many in the world, ”.
Erotic Bethlehem of the Verguería.
To the question, "Why has you shocked the inhabitants of this city more?".“I also disagree that I have put more nativity scenes in other cities.They would have told us something, ”he says."In Sitges, which is a city that celebrates the LGTB Carnival, they were fined for illegal advertising before they had put religious symbols," he adds.
The president of the Foundation reproves that the businessman did it conscientiously: “He knows that certain symbols, rigged to beliefs, are offensive.I could have used a reindeer, Santa Claus, or Al Grinch.I could also have used normal figurines ".
The insults, for Poland, are the reliable test of the damage they cause."I don't know how much the store wears in Seville.They had never told us anything about her so far, for this nativity scene with offensive barbarities.I am sure that if I had insulted other groups or some lobbies, Troy would have burned ”.
She finds a reason: “They wanted to advertise and make money.It seems that you can attack the Catholic faith and nothing happens, it seems cowardly.In addition, they want to benefit financially at the expense of an offense ”.
Sales grow
Andrea comments that there have always been many pedestrians who have come to try the products of their premises and that at Christmas those sales increase."Some expressly come to see the Bethlehem".
The news, which has spread online, has gained adherents and refractories."What a fabric, then you will ask and respect, to close the store," wrote a user.Another responded with sarcasm: “What little shame, that daring, say that José and the Virgin had a reproductive system!How they occur to them and how it occurs to God, on top of each one, we put each other!I don't understand anything".
They have branded him with provocation, he has aroused admiration and there are those who have also made hypotheses about other religions: “So for Ramadan they will put a penis dressed as Muslim, or do you give them to me to burn the business?I say, in the end they don't get who they want but who can ".
"In the end is advertising," says Andrea.Consider that those who complain give them more fame.Meanwhile, avoid entering the rag."If you want to report, denounce".He stays happy with the veguería."I am an entrepreneur, the idea of the project goes with me and I give work to more than 20 people," he continues without stopping and almost without thinking about what he says, convinced: "It's another business and we want respect".
