In an article published by El País, scriptwriter Rafael Azcona expresses his conviction that the dialogues of his professional colleagues must form the foundation upon which any narrative about the current nation should be built.
"There is no scriptwriter in the profession who does not believe that their dialogues must serve as the template on which we ought to write if we wish to tell this tragicomic country—where we always live between joy and disillusionment," Azcona states.
The declaration forms part of a broader reflection on how Spain should be narrated from a human and everyday perspective. The author emphasizes that natural dialogue, spontaneous phrases, and common exchanges among people are key elements for accurately capturing the social reality of the country.
No additional details such as exact dates or specific historical contexts are specified in the text, nor are other public figures or events directly related to the content mentioned.
