The journalist Lydia Cacho made a public complaint in the Guest Column of Opinion 51where he pointed out Alejandro Marcovich, ex-guitarist of Caifanes, for family violence, death threats, racism and sexual harassment.
In addition, he revealed possible influence peddling by stating that if the attacker were not a famous music producer and guitarist, he would surely have already been arrested.
The writer Lydia Cacho, author of the demons of eden, made strong revelations against the Argentine musician Alejandro Marcovich, who about a year ago reported on his social networks that he had prostate cancer. However, in the column, which the also human rights activist titled cruelty and fameraised important questions.
If a man is hospitalized for prostate cancer, would you forgive him for trying to choke his daughter? Would you forgive him for trying to kill her wife and throwing her naked in the street to teach him a lesson from her? Would you forgive him for doing such violence against his son that he grew up terrified of Dad coming home? Would you forgive him for racism because you saw him play at Corona and you know his songs?
The famous writer confessed that she has known the guitarist for 20 years because he was often in the behind the scenes of his concerts and clarified that it was before he ended up fighting with all the musicians he played.
I remember when one of his music students, a 17-year-old girl, told me how he had sexually harassed her and when she refused, he insulted her and told her that thousands of women died from a kiss from Alejandro Marcovich. Neither this girl, nor the wife, nor her daughter, nor her son, nor the young musicians whom he beat with rage under the excuse of having used drugs, dared for years to denounce him criminally.
However, according to the text of the speaker, in 2014, Gaby, Marcovich’s wife, finally dared to denounce him, but the musician left the family home and took refuge to avoid being arrested for domestic violence.
Like many celebrities, Marcovich used influence and acts of corruption to destroy his own family and protect himself from justice. In an act of patrimonial violence, the musician took everything from her wife, including the property that was originally hers.
Finally, among other points, the journalist reflected on how fame influences some characters to be untouchable, since she considers that the musician is still free precisely because of his fame and the treatment he is undergoing for cancer.
