Coto Matamoros returns on YouTube: the tattooed bald man phenomenon

Coto Segarro: the return of the Crónicas Marcianas veteran to all screens

At 70, with an unmistakable tattooed bald head, Coto Segarro has become a recurring presence on dozens of YouTube channels. The Crónicas Marcianas veteran, whom many had assumed was retired, now comments on any topic with disarming confidence. The question hangs over the debate: why now?

Two opposing political readings

For one sector, his presence fits the strategy of the so-called "derechita valiente" (brave right). He is placed alongside figures like Torbe or La Veneno, understood as mouthpieces for a discourse that demobilizes left-wing voters. The thesis holds that his "they're all the same" message benefits the right by encouraging pogre abstention.

On the other side, the opposite is argued: that his anti-right discourse makes him an instrument of the official narrative to deactivate right-wing voters. Two currents that accuse each other of manipulation, and agree on one thing: no one believes his popularity is innocent.

The defender of independence

Some claim him as one of the few commentators with independent judgment in a landscape dominated by noise. He is credited with an "adequate IQ" and "personality," and compared to the best. His age and television past would be a guarantee, not a flaw.

The anecdote circulating

Among the curiosities, one stands out: he is said to be the only person capable of eating 15 chickens in one night without cholesterol. The legend illustrates the fascination with the character. A 90s television product that has found its second youth on YouTube.

Between praise and suspicion, the only certainty is that Segarro has managed to become a protagonist again without intending to. Or perhaps intending to, since he has spent a lifetime in front of a camera.
