The controversy arose when the PP of Seville filed a complaint with the Electoral Board over the 'Carnaval de Primavera' festival scheduled in Alcalá de Guadaíra during the reflection day before the Andalusian elections. The complaint specifically referenced the lyrics of the comparsa D3SAS3, winners of the COAC 2026, which criticize public healthcare management.
Although the complaint was withdrawn thanks to the intervention of the mayor of Cádiz, Bruno García, carnival artist Jesús Bienvenido has released a new song on social media inspired by the controversy. The lyrics directly address the President of the Junta de Andalucía, Juanma Moreno, and his party, defending the freedom of expression championed by the Carnival of Cádiz with lines such as "To censor me, you have to be born a thousand times."
“"To censor me, you have to be born a thousand times"
Bienvenido's video quickly went viral, garnering nearly 40,000 views within an hour. The controversy arises at a sensitive time, on the eve of Andalusian elections, transforming a local electoral complaint into a political debate about censorship and freedom of expression.
Leaders from the Andalusian left have used the situation to accuse the PP of attempting to silence carnival satire, and the socialist candidate for the Junta, María Jesús Montero, has publicly defended the Carnival of Cádiz as a space for criticizing those in power.
