The lawsuit, which was filed in the first instance in the Ombudsman´s Office, focuses on the chapter of the visit of Valentine´s brother (one of the characters in the series).

According to Rodríguez, the other characters, the music, trumpets sounds and other items are part of the discriminatory expressions in the chapter.
