Nacho Sureda destroyed Juan Minujín's lefty: 'He's insecure, I call him Minugil.'

The highly anticipated premiere of En el barro, the prequel to the prison phenomenon El Marginal, not only caused expectations among fans, but also sparked intense clashes between its main actors.

This time, the controversy was fueled by  Ignacio Sureda, who played the memorable criminal Pantera, and who did not hesitate to aim his criticism at the main actor of the first two seasons of Sebastián Ortega's production. 

In a conversation with Juan Etchegoyen on Mitre Live, Sureda surprised with explosive statements that made old grievances clear: "The only thing I found unnecessary was the appearance of Juan Minujín, Minujín's part was too much, that's what I call him. That's it, people don't want to see him anymore and he doesn't contribute anything", the actor said, using a derogatory nickname to refer to his former colleague.

When did the conflict between Juan Minujín and Nacho Sureda begin?

The actor's anger would not be new. According to his account, the rift occurred years ago during a Martín Fierro gala, where Minujín, he claims, publicly snubbed him.

"I reached out my hand to greet him and he completely ignored me. He didn't even shake my hand, he just walked away. That left a thorn in my side", he recalled.

Sureda also hinted that the actor's ego may have played a key role in the cast's dynamics.

"He was the protagonist of the first season and the character who really took off was Nicolás Furtado's. Then mine became popular and he didn't like that either", he stated, even suggesting that his absence in the last seasons was related to Minujín's influence in the production: "Just when he was listed as a producer, I wasn't called".

The former Pantera actor went beyond the professional. He did not hesitate to label Minujín as "insecure" and revealed details that, according to him, disappointed him: "When he said he didn't like dogs, that was it for me".

Sureda even ventured into ideological territory, questioning his colleague's political stances:"He pretends to be national and popular, defended the lady (Cristina Fernández de Kirchner) when she was convicted, and nobody believes him".

With an ironic and defiant tone, he concluded his statement with a direct message: "I hope they make a spin-off with Pantera and his character, so we can get in the ring... and then I'll catch him in the shower".
