Political humor
Chilean comedians such as the "Fusión Humor" quartet or the humorist and imitator Stefan Kramer made comic routines laughing at controversial situations within the political-social landscape lived in Chile at the end of 2019, and early 2020. The organization was accused of censorship of humorous routines that made fun of politicians and the Government of Chile, mainly of the current president Sebastián Piñera.[3][4][5]
Singer declarations
Popular Mexican singer-songwriter Ana Gabriel and Chilean singer Mon Laferte made political statements during their presentations. The Chilean singer criticized the actions of the uniformed police in Chile: "Carabineros" and the actions of the Government of Sebastián Piñera. For its part, the Mexican singer acknowledged that she was not interested in politics, but that she was sorry that the people were harmed, comparing the situation in Chile with countries such as Nicaragua, Mexico or Venezuela.[6][7]
