Controversy Pedro Sánchez supports Inés Hernand and she responds forcefully to criticism: "The icon is you"
Inés Hernand
continues to defend herself after the media earthquake that caused her controversial broadcast on RTVE Play from the red carpet of the
Goya Awards
last Saturday in Valladolid. Aside from the recriminations on social networks, the
TVE News Council
issued a statement in which it rejected the "flattering" tone that the lawyer and comedian had with the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, and pointed out the failure to comply with the " quality and neutrality standards" of the
Information Statute
.
Days after what happened, the influencer, along with her partner Nerea Pérez de las Heras, was the guest of
Carlota Corredera
at the premiere of the second season of her video podcast
Superlativas
. "Thank you for making a mess," jokes the former presenter of
Sálvame con Inés
, when introducing Hernand, who was, along with The
Bayonne
Snow Society , the main protagonist of the Spanish film contest.
As soon as the interview starts, Carlota asks him how he is feeling after he has captured all eyes due to the unexpected statement from the public entity. "I'm normal, that is, neither overexcited nor below ratios that do not respond to the disproportionality that is happening now," says Hernand, before qualifying with his usual irony: "It's an
entertainment
show , it's not a
show.

"It was

starring as
Inés Hernand, making the painting," continues the presenter, who explains that she is "happy" by nature and that she usually uses "a casual tone", before regretting that others have not appeared on social networks. very nice moments" that also took place during their live performance. One of these moments was her calling

"
; another, when she ate a sandwich on the red carpet. "Everything is very

by the way. It seems cubism to me and it is a television that I defend to the death," she says.
Corredora emphasizes that it was precisely because of this way of understanding entertainment that RTVE had hired her for that live show. "I understand that too.
Nobody gives me a different guideline to that
," acknowledges
Hernand
, who explains that he learned about the News Council's statement from X. "No one called me on the phone to tell me how angry they were that I burped."
"I think it does not correspond to the News Committee because it was not providing information, it was making an entertainment program," he criticizes. "How much energy do I want to invest in this?" asks the comedian. "As long as they pay me for what I've worked and it doesn't affect either my colleagues at
RTVE Play
, who are all fantastic, or future projects in which I may be involved, I don't care," she says.
When studying all the possible reasons for the complaint of the public body, which has representation from the different political formations, the young woman seems to have it clear: "There are people who want me not to be there, representing what I represent and making visible what I make visible, because Let us not forget that I speak out regarding certain issues that may be compromising and that have a lot to do with social justice, the visibility of dissident realities and things that it seems they do not want to show in other spaces."
"I take advantage of the space in this way, not to act
naïve
or appear in any other way, because that's why they open the box of random presenters, which is very wide. And it's not a criticism of any of them, it's just that I'm not decaffeinated," he says.
"What is clear is that
when RTVE hires you, it knows who it hires
," Corredera highlights, to which Inés reminds that the termination that is sought cannot occur: "It is impossible for it to occur when you are a worker for I am self-employed, I am hired on a per-project basis in some things and I do not even have any collaboration with TVE planned in the future."
"At RTVE Play there are fantastic people. There are people who make decisions, who are the ones who intervene because they say 'there is something about all this that bothers me or that they don't want a parliamentary consultation', who are the ones who have caused this trip" , he emphasizes. "The only thing that came to the Committee member was the belch. I'm serious. I don't think he's seen the three-hour live show."
Before settling the issue, Corredera asks him one last question: "Does all this controversy with the president involved benefit or harm you?", to which Hernand is sincere: "I don't know. I know that I
am a scapegoat right now, from whoever it is.
I don't even know who, but it seems to me that Pedro Sánchez's
tweet
was like pulling out the card that turns the game around to One. There are those who say that he was one of the best political
marketing
gestures in recent years, I won't say more. If that is a
marketing
gesture and I am a person instrumentalized by Pedro Sánchez, so be it."
