Mediaset puts an end to Save me and delivers the afternoons of Telecinco to Ana Rosa Quintana

However, this afternoon Sálvame has started with an even more unexpected surprise: La Fábrica de la Tele has initiated the procedures for Sálvame to be declared an Asset of Cultural Interest.

"For creating a new dictionary of popularexpressions and for being the longest-running afternoon magazine on television," reads the producer's request to the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Culture of the Community of Madrid. It is no joke, no spectacle, although it may seem so.

"

Why does Sálvame have to be declared an asset of cultural interest?", Terelu Campos and Adela González started the program. Jorge Albertini, lawyer, wrote the formal request live and took note of the reasons given by presenters and collaborators: "Because it has been entertaining an entire country for 14 years, 3616 programs in rigorous live, it is the longest running evening magazine in the history of television, it hascreated itsown language. that has permeated society with words such as water with mystery or son of hospital, has contributed to the world of fashion with the celebration of four editions of the Sálvame Fashion Week, a new style of dance has emerged that peta it in any verbena, the chuminero, because it has been synonymous with freedomin every way and because everything that happens on the set of 'Save me' ends up being viral ".

In accordance with the provisions of Law 16/1985, for a heritage element to become part of the General Register of Assets of Cultural Interest, it is necessary that a file be initiated by the competent administration, although it can be done at the request of entities or individuals. Once the file is initiated, all the legal protection provided by law is applied to the patrimonial asset as a preventive measure.

The lawyer took note of all these indications and gave shape to this request so that the Ministry turns this wish into reality: "We must formalize an application in which we must explain why it can be constituted an asset of cultural interest."

"Today we begin the appropriate legal procedures," Terelu Campos announced. Some procedures that have been confirmed by the producer itself and to which they have added a website for viewers to sign the petition, while announcing that the lawyer together with an editor of Sálvame were going to move to the Plaza de Felipe II, in Madrid, to also collect signatures, since in addition to the request, a document with signatures supporting the request had to be submitted to the Ministry of Culture.

According to the lawyer, there would be possibilities that the program could be accepted: "What do we mean by culture? It is the demonstration of ethnography, of popular knowledge. In turn, the law obliges us that the good has an anthropological, social and cultural interest, of course."

Although it sounds crazy, the process has already begun. What would it mean if Sálvame were declared an Asset of Cultural Interest? An asset of cultural interestl is a legal figure for the protection of Spanish historical heritage, both movable and immovable.

The legal declaration called asset of cultural interest is a figure of protection regulated by Law 16/1985, of June 25, on Spanish Historical Heritage. In accordance with the distribution of competences established by the Spanish Constitution, the declaration of assets of cultural interest corresponds to the State only when it comes to goods assigned to public services managed by the General State Administration. In other cases, competence lies with the Autonomous Community. Hence, Sálvame has also requested the Ministry of Culture of the Community of Madrid.

A property when declared of cultural interest becomes public domain. That is, an individual can own an Asset of Cultural Interest, but the Administration will protect the artistic, historical, spiritual value of the property.

Next June 23 will be the last program of Sálvame after 14 years on the air. Mediaset announced three weeks ago the cancellation of the program. The new management of the company, with Alessandro Salem at the helm and Borja Prado as the new executive chairman, set itself the goal of changing the face of Telecinco. And after a new Code of Ethics or the veto of some of its most famous faces, came the end of the program.

From September it will be Ana Rosa Quintana, undisputed leader of the mornings with an average audience of more than 18%, who occupies the after-dinner of the channel. The Madrid journalist will continue to direct the political debate of her program early in the morning – at least until the next general elections pass – but the rest of the space will be in the hands of Joaquín Prat, her co-presenter so far and also host of Ya es mediodía, and the rest of his collaborators.
