  • Controversy The "nightmare" of David Broncano's signing on RTVE: what now? "Until I move forward this is not going to stop"

  • TV What is RTVE at stake with the signing of Broncano? An "absurd" risk given the superiority of El Hormiguero and the uncertainty of La Resistencia

"I would begin to think that in Moncloa they have a mania for you,"

Juan del Val

told

Pablo Motos

in the middle of the current affairs table at

El Hormiguero,

opening a melon that we all knew how it was going to end. In fact, it was not the signing of

David Broncano

for RTVE that led

Juan del Val

to make this warning to

Pablo Motos

but the complaint by the Minister of Health,

Mónica García

, accusing the presenter of advertising false therapies after This week he published a video at the Sha Wellness clinic in Alicante testing I don't know what machine for I don't know what purpose.

But it suited

Juan del Val

to put on the table what they and everyone called the "soap opera" Broncano. "I would think that they have a mania for you because they tell me that Moncloa has asked RTVE to sign

Broncano

to compete against

El Hormiguero

." The melon has already opened.

Pablo Motos

, visibly uncomfortable, as he himself later admitted, then gave way to

Cristina Pardo

to explain everything that has happened these last three weeks surrounding the controversial signing. Not even she knew very well how to explain this mess that has cost three dismissals, a new presidency and the block of the

RTVE

Board of Directors . "At the moment, they are not going to compete with you on

Spanish Television ,"

Pardo

concluded

, referring to the new transfer paralysis experienced in the Council this Thursday.

And then, restrained and uncomfortable,

Pablo Motos

spoke out: "It is uncomfortable to talk about a topic in which you are involved, even if you don't want to. Every time we do the program there is someone in the competition. It is not the first time nor the last. We have been doing the program for 18 years. Welcome to the competition, welcome to Broncano, welcome to whoever it is. We are here and everyone can choose the option they want. There is nothing more democratic than the remote control. I like it. What makes me feel bad are the Spanish television workers who are seeing how they are ridiculing the prestige of an extraordinary network with extraordinary professionals and with a lot of prestige and balance.

Still, they don't deserve this game of being in all the gatherings

." And it is over.

Pablo Motos

was not going to say anything more because he had already said everything.

In fact, it was

Juan del Val

who got the most involved in the soap opera, warning that "the problem is not

Broncano

, the problem is that Moncloa wants to put an end to

Pablo Motos

." "This seems to me to be something that would make us think about the democratic level we have at this moment," stated the collaborator and scriptwriter of

El Hormiguero

, always very critical of the Government.

"Moncloa does not have to decide these things," he continued, "it has to decide many others and not make a maneuver with a contract with conditions never seen before simply to harm this program."

At that moment, Nuria Roca

, a great friend of

Pablo Motos

, entered the debate

, stating that "we are talking about public television that we all pay for and that belongs to everyone." "If we were talking about private television there would be no problem,"

Juan del Val

then interrupted . "The problem is that Moncloa intervenes to harm this program. Not to hire another person, which is phenomenal, but to harm this program," he stated.

During the words of

Juan del Val

and

Nuria Roca

,

Pablo Motos

remained absolutely silent. He didn't even focus the camera on her. He was uncomfortable, so uncomfortable that he himself stopped the interventions, he declared that he felt very uncomfortable talking about this topic and that it was over at that moment. "You, look, they have a mania for you,"

Juan del Val

told him again . "Well, that's going to be it,"

Motos

assured , ending an issue that, indeed, directly affects him, but not because of the damage to the audience that Broncano could do to

El Hormiguero

, because of all the attempts that have tried to confront the program by

Pablo Motos

, and there have been many, 100 of them have failed in these 18 years, but because of the stubbornness to stop whatever influence El Hormiguero can have on the spectators.

It will be difficult to see

Pablo Motos

talking about this topic again. Now, if

Broncano

's signing ultimately does not go ahead or even if it does, I would have no qualms about betting that

Pablo Motos

would take

David Broncano

to

El Hormiguero

to have fun . Time to time...
