Spanish Actor Refuses to Appear in Court to Answer Religious Charge
Spanish actor and activist Willy Toledo announced that he does not intend to appear before a judge to respond to a complaint made by the Spanish Association of Christian Lawyers for having committed an offense "against religious sentiments." Toledo was investigated after he posted a rant in July 2017 against God, the Virgin Mary, and his criticism of a trial against three women who had been charged for their part in a 2014 anti-Christian procession in which the image of the Virgin Mary was replaced by a giant vagina ("el coño insumiso").
The controversial actor wrote in a Facebook message: "Yo me cago en dios, y me sobra mierda para cagarme en el dogma de la Santidad y Virginidad de la Virgen María. Este país es una vergüenza insoportable. Me puede el asco. Iros a la mierda. Viva el coño insumiso." ("I shit on God, and I have plenty of shit to shit on the dogma of the Virginity's Sanctity and Virginity. This country is an unbearable shame. I can be disgusted. Go to hell. Live the unsubmissive pussy).
