Controversy
On 1 July 2010 a controversy arose after he starred in a parody sketch on the programme UAU! in which he played a poor Paraguayan girl named Sunilda Estuardo who spoke about her life and urged Spain's national men's football team to let her country's team win in order to bring 'a little happiness to the poor children'. This occurred prior to the quarterfinal of the 2010 FIFA World Cup which took place two days later, between Paraguay and Spain.{{Cite web |title=MinutoUno · Polémica por un "sketch" de la televisión española |url=http://www.minutouno.com.ar/minutouno/nota/131680-Polemica-por-un-sketch-de-la-television-espanola/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100704233446/http://www.minutouno.com.ar/minutouno/nota/131680-Polemica-por-un-sketch-de-la-television-espanola/ |archive-date=2010-07-04 |access-date=2025-06-08 |website=www.minutouno.com.ar}}
{{Quote| '[...] I am now seven years old, and I have spent five of those working. I used to drive a crane, and now I collect the motors of old washing machines from a landfill. My coworkers —the ones who can talk— ask me, why have you been so happy lately, Sunilda? [...] This World Cup is the best thing Paraguay has done for us since I got a cold, and typhus, and measles, and malaria and ebola and everything else. Now the Spanish want to beat us, don't they already have enough? They came here to take our potatoes and our gold, and Hernán Cortés raped my great-grandmother, gentlemen! My family has had to sell our llama, and manatee and the square metre of coffee plantation, all to be able to buy me the Paraguayan football team's shirt. Spanish gentlemen, in the name of the children and the poor of Moctezuma, let Paraguay win the World Cup and bring a little joy to these fields on the outskirts of Madri... of Caacupé. Please do this, these chubby cheeks won't be around forever [...]' |}}
At the end of the video, Broncano - as Pedro M. Estuardo - addressed the Spanish men's team, saying: 'the death of thousands of millions of Paraguayan girls is in your hands'. {{Cite AV media |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66H1CzpXjtU |title=Niña con gafas y narigón bigotudo |date=2017-05-23 |last=AdinTeraud |access-date=2025-06-08 |via=YouTube}}
The next day, Paraguay's Secretaría de la Niñez y de la Adolescencia (Secretary of childhood and adolescence) and various Paraguayan media organisations reacted with indignation, which led to the Spanish ambassador to Paraguay, Miguel Ángel Cortizo, publicly apologising.{{Cite web |title=Un vídeo de Cuatro obliga a disculparse al embajador español en Paraguay {{!}} Televisión {{!}} elmundo.es |url=https://www.elmundo.es/elmundo/2010/07/02/television/1278095173.html |access-date=2021-04-19 |website=www.elmundo.es}}
