Carla Conte held nothing back and was emphatic when discussing the scandal involving Nacho Levy following Cecilia Ce's complaint. The actress expressed her full support for the psychologist and harshly questioned Julia Mengolini's reaction, demanding greater commitment from her.
According to Conte, what Cecilia Ce did was brave and necessary, because behind her testimony are many women who needed to raise their voices. "I think what happened is wonderful," she said in an interview, highlighting that the impact was quick and positive in dissociating Levy from La Garganta Poderosa.
The social organization made the decision to remove him, something the actress celebrated because it prioritizes collective work over a single figure. For her, what matters is preserving the work of all the people who are part of the space, beyond its visible reference.
When asked about Julia Mengolini's stance, who preferred not to speak out immediately and wait for the official statement, Carla Conte was lethal. She criticized that attitude as lukewarm and questioned why in communication spaces some women end up defending men instead of supporting the victims.
The call for greater bravery
"Take a stand," she indirectly told Mengolini, outraged because she believes there is a system that supports men in positions of power and that the complaints, both known and unknown, are numerous. For the actress, it is not the time to remain silent.
For her part, Julia Mengolini explained on her program that she preferred to wait for the pronouncement of the women from La Garganta Poderosa before giving a strong opinion. She said she felt responsible and sensitized by the issue, as Levy was someone ideologically close to her, but she prioritized the preservation of the social organization.
The journalist emphasized that the focus should be on the impeccable work that La Garganta Poderosa does throughout the country, in soup kitchens and with daily activism, rather than on Levy's individual fate. She assured that it is not about cover-up and that if more testimonies arise, they will address them.
Conte, on the other hand, sees that waiting as a lack of clear commitment to the victims. She insisted that women in the media should take more risks and not allow the protection of figures due to their previous work to prevail.
