Silvio Soldán: "That people have not condemned me socially was a relief"

Alejado de los medios masivos de comunicación que lo llevaron al éxito, Silvio Soldán sigue activo animando fiestas de casamientos y aniversarios en los que recrea las prendas y el cofre de la felicidad de Feliz Domingo, lo que lo hace inmensamente feliz.

En una charla íntima con Infobae, el histórico presentador, nos recibió en su amplio departamento del barrio de Belgrano, inundado de recuerdos, fotos y reconocimientos.

With the charisma intact and his unique voice, he opened his heart and spoke of his present work, of the relationship he maintains years ago with an admirer 31 years younger than him, of the link with his two children and the memory of his parents. También confesó cuál fue el minuto que le cambió la vida. Se define como un tipo que no odió a nadie, que solo trata de hacer feliz a los demás.

Seeing it is synonymous with joy, entertainment and also scandals: “I have no grudge.To the people who hurt me I wish him to do well, ”he repeats. Hoy, lejos ya de esto último, a los 86 años, Soldán disfruta del reconocimiento de sus colegas, de su trabajo y, especialmente, del afecto de la gente: “Yo no hago manifestaciones políticas porque quiero que la gente me siga queriendo”.

"What time in your life is you?"

"I find me in a beautiful moment of my life.I overcame the pandemic that complicated our lives and, to me, much more than others because I live alone, I don't know how to cook anything, I had to do food.I walked through the walls in the department. Pero pasó la pandemia y de repente hubo como una especie de resurgir, me entraron a llamar de cuanto programa de televisión y radio a vos se te ocurra, me entraron a hacer ofertas para televisión.But every day, to this day.

"At some point in Pandemia, which we are still traveling, was you afraid of having Covid?"

"What happens to me should happen to almost all the inhabitants of the country or the planet, anything that happens to you:" Won't it be Covid? ".Things that have nothing to do, your arm hurts, what do I know, will it be Covid?Because there are also so many manifestations of this cursed disease that everything can be related.Luckily it was never Covid, so far.

"How was the idea of self -managing your own happy Sunday?"

- For many years, the animators who became fashion.One day they hire me and they told me that I had to ask some participants, get some numbers and have done as a chest of happiness.Well, I did.I don't remember how it was either, a very simple thing.But it was an impressive goal.I said: "I always have to do it".And from there, through representatives, they sold that idea and became a really impressive thing.

"What requirements should your show have?"

"First, that people hire me.Then, they have to hire a soundist nothing more.Professional of course so that people listen to you and everything is fine.The matter is like this: I made a format of a happy little Sunday, it is not the whole program, but it is as if it were.They are games.It lasts an hour, an hour and approximately.It is very successful.

It has to be absolutely secret.Surprise, total surprise.I give the soundist the music, which includes everything that was happy Sunday, the march of Happy Domingo, "Lights of my city" by Mariano Mores and the others, "Chau, Chau, Goodbye".Well, when the time comes to leave they let me know.The sonidist puts the music and, automatically, the people, without knowing why they put that music, react and begin to make palms.A fantastic thing. Dejo pasar 20 segundos y entro.And that gives me life, that makes me live.People receive me wonderfully, "Olé, Olé, Silvio".A formidable thing.It makes me relive everything that was so nice.

"Why did you end up happy Sunday?"

"And everything ends.".I don't know, he sold out.I had family problems, which nobody does not know.I had a 10 -year contract, Alejandro Romay signed it when they generally signed you for 3 months.And I presented my resignation to that contract, Romay accepted, it seemed very good.We gave ourselves a handshake in front of the cameras.The next day in the newspapers they said: Soldán and Romay almost grabbed trumpe.Lie.They were not trumpered, it was a handshake.This was the question.

So why did you end up happy Sunday?It ended because one day it's over.They called me to welcome the two boys who were going to make happy Sunday.I left simply near the end of the program to welcome them on behalf of the program.

Silvio Soldán: “Que la gente no me haya condenado socialmente fue un alivio”

"More than the face, like the soul of Happy Domingo.

-Well OK.Thanks, the soul of Happy Domingo.I like that.When I enter, well, a tremendous, fantastic, all very nice fuss was armed.And they say it was so because the rating made pin up.The following week they call me to go and I told them no, that the boys were.In the last hour, an hour and a half, I appear and collaborate with them, but not to get the job to anyone, of course.And so it happened.And then well, then the year ended and the program was never done again.

"What was the minute that changed your life?"

"Country changed me.Made me reflect a million things.

"What did you learn from jail?"

"Being that you are in an environment that is not yours, that you have nothing to do with that, and you wonder why you are there.The treatment was wonderful.

"When she wondered why she was there, what was your answer?"

—Because I put the leg, because I will have done something wrong.But the dramatic, I look at you, is that I communicated to my lawyer every time, with Miguel Pierri, and he told me that it was good, that he was going to leave, but on TV they went out to say that I had, at least, for two years.The mood went to the devil, you imagine. ¿Vos sabés lo que es escuchar todo el tiempo a los canales de televisión hablando de mí y cada uno diciendo una cosa distinta?

"Why do you think when you got freedom, did not suffer a social conviction?"

—That's what I ask the Lord who is up.I dont know. El primer día que salgo a la calle, que todo el mundo supo porque salió por televisión y por todos lados, quise ir al teatro y le pedí a mi abogado que me acompañe.We went to see Nito Artaza, my friend, debuted in Happy Domingo with me.

"Did you fear?"

"Pan, not fear.Panic.I went to the only place in the last row.Everything was busy, because Nito sold impressive tickets.Nito always makes jokes between bambalins and if there is any known or famous person in the room he mentions it.And suddenly he mentioned me, I stopped and people applauded giving me a welcome say.It was the day after my departure from devotee.

"When people applauded him, what did he feel?"

-Relief.

"At 86, could you save money?"Do you have money to live?

"To live, yes, perfectly.Although they have cheated me many times and a lot.Eye, I don't have what I had or remotely, of course, but at this point of the game everything is fine.

"How do you see current television?"

-I do not watch much TV.I have never seen fiction in my life, never.News yes, that interests me.Political programs too.Very little entertainment programs, and now there are many.There are many of those that I like, who are those of questions and answers, because, as they say in jargon, the questions and answers pay well, it means that many people see them.Because it is cute.The Pong Pong of Happy Domingo Questions and Answers was an impressive goal.People gathered at home to see the program.

"If I had to choose the best driver of Argentine television today, what would it be?"

"No, I'm not going to tell you.

-Why?

"I'm not going to tell you why I don't like saying guy at the expense of others.It seems to me that each one in their own, because they are all different, as in my time.For example: Leonardo Simmons was one thing, Silvio Soldán was another, Cacho Fontana Bueno, the maximum, especially for his Odol Question.Fernando Bravo in his own.Each one with its line.And we were all, I think, quite valuable. Hoy también hay chicos que son muy distintos unos de otros.Santiago del Moro, for example.Mariano iúdica in controversy and Guido Kaczca on the 8 steps.

—That this height of the game, what does it have to have to be well, feel full?

—To how I'm now.I am fantastic.With my children, I don't have them with me, but I have them and I'm fine with them.Wonderful, the minor is a phenomenon, Cristian.The greatest, unfortunately, is sick and well, is fighting a disease.

"What disease does your eldest son have?"

—It's a mental, schizophrenic problem.

-Sees it?

-Permanently.Today I was with him.And this Cristian also.It is one of the most incredible people in the world.

"What do you learn from your children?"

-So many things.Even at certain times the character improved.I never had very bad character, but suddenly there are things that one does not notice, that does not realize.Those of outside do notice.Cristian made me notice some things that I did, that I corrected them immediately and I hope to never say them again.I can't tell you what are very subtle things.I am fantastic con mis hijos

-How are you today?Is she a boyfriend?

-Yes.I wrote a song that in one part says: "I have the right to try, even if I am wrong again, because in life I have been left alone".I wrote that song for many years, but every time there is an event in my life, with sentimental tone, it always is good for me.And I don't like being alone.

—What is the difference between being in love at 40, 50 or 80?That changes?

—Well, at 40 I took a very accelerated life, so suddenly I disregarded certain things and that's why they have deceived me a thousand times, and I have also deceived.It's a round trip.

"All men cheat?"

- (laughs) And who doesn't.Who did not do it or did not suffer.But now at this point, I met a girl a few years ago, a admirer of mine, of those admirers who do not exist. Me siguió casi 9 años y yo no reparaba en ella hasta que un día, no sé por qué, creo que fue un día para mi cumpleaños, compartimos un momento con ella y a partir de ahí vinieron otros momentos y después encontré una mujer absolutamente distinta a todas las que conocí.Absolutely disinterested. No quiero decir que todas las parejas que tuve hayan sido interesadas, pero esta chica es desinteresada, amorosa, todo lo bueno que se pueda decir de una persona hay que decirlo de ella.I hit me and, as I met her, even more.And at this point of the game, which has long shared our lives, every day I am surprised a little more.

—What is the difference of living sex at 40 that at 80?

"You have to live them.I am a guy by a cheerful nature.I am a guy going, I'm going, I'm looking for, I failed, I insist, I insist.Always positive, up, always onwards.

- In the bad moments of his life, what people were next to him and who disappeared?

"Who disappeared?"Some.That later appeared again...And there were some that were erased that I never saw them again.People with whom I had contact.And the media doesn't even tell you. Los programas de chismes me pegaron todos.I forgave them, no problem.It has already happened.I gave rating dots (laughs).And enough.

"Did you miss all the people who did it wrong?"

"I am a guy without hatred and without resentment.Really.To the people who hurt me I wish him to do well.May God help them and not abandon me, of course (laughs).

"How was your relationship with Giselle Rimolo and Silvia Süller?"

-I have no relation.I hope they do well.

"How do you see the country today?"

-This does not work.I do not make political manifestations because I want people to continue wanting me, those who are on this side of the crack and those who are on the other side.If I manifest on one side of the crack I will lose the affection, the sympathy of those who are on the other side, and I do not want.Eye, I don't worry and I even like when there are actors, actresses, drivers, who manifest politically.I do not do it.That the country is not right is safe.The country is on the tumbos, unfortunately.

"What do you think of death?"

"I panic.".I think something very ugly, I don't want to die.I know that it will inevitably get to me and maybe I don't miss much about the age I am, but I don't like it.

"How was the link with your mother?"

Mi relación con mi madre fue una relación común.What happens is that there were certain people who, in such a.Yes it is beautiful. Mi vieja se jugó la vida por mí.My old man too.They talked like slaves practically to give me well -being.How am I not going to love them?Oh my God.And those women, surely, do not know how to love their children, suddenly.

"I was impacted that she said" they worked as slaves ".

-Yes.Mom worked even as a maid.He worked as a worker.My dad worked as a worker.He ended up working at the Palermo brewery of Ubaldini's partner, who was general secretary of the CGT.The soul broke, if not anything, so that I study, so that it is something.How am I not going to love them?But of course I love my old woman.How am I going to love it if it was killed for me.I still want it with defects, of course.

"What moments do you remember from your mother?"

"I have millions.".For example, when I was in the geriatric and I was going to visit her and listen to her singing.He sang, recited.It was wonderful.They all gathered to listen to her.

"What would you say to your parents?"

-Thank you.Thank you.Thank you.A thousand times thanks.

"How would you like to remember?"

—As a guy who did not hate anyone, who tried to make others happy.And if I ever hurt someone I did it without knowing.That it is likely to have done it.Occupy so many places in public life, at the head of television programs, radio, theater, cinema programs, which could suddenly have hurt someone.But, if I ever hurt someone unintentionally.I swear that for my life.
