Alfonso Reyes’s response to Anabel Alonso
Many have been those who have been launched to reproach Alonso for making reference to something as trite as the physical appearance of the mayor of the capital to counter his political arguments. One of them has been the former basketball player, Alfonso Reyes, who answered through social networks in an elegant way: “Between laughing at yourself or laughing at others, I’ll stick with the former. It is much healthier and shows much more intelligence”.
And it is that the brother of the Madrid star does not usually bite his tongue when it comes to controversies, as in the numerous darts that he sent to the director of the CCAES, Fernando Simón, in the hard months of confinement. All this taking into account that Reyes himself suffered seriously from Covid-19.
Between laughing at oneself or laughing at others, I prefer the former. It is much healthier and shows much more intelligence. https://t.co/x5ZuphgM2p
