An excerpt from one of the episodes of the popular show Case closed, led by the Cuban lawyer and presenter Ana María Polo, went viral in the last hours after getting angry with a young Colombian woman who refused to speak Spanish.
The young woman appeared on the set of the program, one of the best rated on American Hispanic television, and greeted her in English, which provoked Dr. Polo’s anger.
“No no afternoon none Hello“I speak Spanish here,” the judge replied.
However, the young woman continued to speak English and, at Polo’s insistence, said (in English) that she did not feel comfortable speaking Spanish.
The participant’s attitude drove the Cuban woman crazy, who got up and threatened to expel her from the program if she continued to speak English.
“You are Colombian and this is a program in Spanish. If you don’t speak Spanish, you leave. I don’t care about your dirty, stupid and idiotic challenges,” she said visibly upset.
The young woman continued to provoke her and speak English, until Polo exploded and gave her an ultimatum: “If you don’t say the next word in Spanish, get out!”, To which the Colombian replied with “yes, I’m” , in perfect Spanish.
The video was shared by a Twitter user and already has almost two million views, over 10 thousand likes and 3,000 redistributions.
