Vox MEP's Cheese-Related Gentilicio Gaffe Sparks Online Debate
Vox MEP Jorge Buxadé's visit to Cabaneros National Park in Ciudad Real, Spain, took an unexpected turn when he stumbled over the correct term for residents of the region. The politician, known for his outspoken views, mistakenly used the term "castellanomanchés" instead of the correct "manchegos." This error didn't go unnoticed by Sergio Gutiérrez, the PSOE's Secretary of Organization, who responded with a witty remark on social media: "Hasn't he ever had a Manchego cheese wedge in his life?" The incident quickly gained traction online, sparking a debate about regional identity and political correctness. The short video clip of Buxadé's comment has already garnered thousands of views and many comments, highlighting the public's interest in the story. The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of respecting regional identities and the potential for even minor gaffes to become major news stories.
