A deputy to the Guatemalan Congress has become a topic of conversation these days, since one of her most recent initiatives has not gone down well with reggaeton singers at all.

After the congress of the Central American nation denied the Swedish rock band Marduk the possibility of performing in the country for their "satanic" and "immoral" music, the deputy Eva Monte did not remain silent and assured that in the same way bans should be established for reggaeton.

"If we are going to start with this, I brought a resolution point also where we prohibit reggaeton from 7 in the morning to 6 in the afternoon, due to the high sexual content it has and the misogynistic messages that enter children," he assured in his speech before his colleagues the representative of the department of Chimaltenango.

Monta also denounced the fact that even in schools the children of Guatemala are exposed daily to the messages that the issues of this urban genre bring. "Why does nobody say anything there?" She questioned her colleagues about the fact that the Marduk gang has been banned from entering the country but something similar does not happen with reggaeton.

"The children are listening to that every day, why the bank that believes in the most values has not put anything against it, that is hypocrisy, gentlemen, let us not be hypocrites, this is happening day by day. Why say 'happy the four' because women say they 'like older', "added the deputy in his speech referring to the popular songs of singers Maluma and Becky G.

It is not the first time that reggaeton and its lyrics have come under fire. Other artists such as the Mexican Aleks Syntek, the Colombian Carlos Vives and even J Balvin himself - one of the greatest exponents of the genre - have provided comments against the messages that some of the singers of this popular rhythm print in their songs.
