Pastilla faces backlash over announced Mexico concert
The band Pastilla has announced a concert scheduled for February 6 at Lunario in Mexico City, an announcement that has triggered significant backlash on social media. Many fans and users have reacted with indignation, recalling racist social media posts made by the band's vocalist, David Monroy, in 2018.
During that period, Monroy posted several messages directed at the Mexican population, using derogatory language and expressing a desire to never return to the country. He also made disparaging remarks regarding Salvadoran individuals. While the posts were eventually deleted, screenshots of the messages circulated widely. Some supporters previously attributed the behavior to mental health issues, but the recent concert announcement has led to renewed calls for boycotts.
