• Elections: The styles of the electoral debate

At 56 years of age,

Vicente Vallés

has an overwhelming curriculum on television sets, which includes his position as deputy director of the Telecinco news between 1997 and 2008, host of the program

La noche en 24 horas

(on RTVE's 24h channel), presenter of the Antena 3 newscasts and moderator of electoral debates in the elections of 2015, 2016 and 2019. He also has an Ondas Award, an Antena de Oro and a Salvador de Madariaga European Journalism Award.

However, the acknowledgments of his good work had not managed to give him the projection that he has gained in recent weeks as a result of his interventions on the nightly newscasts of Antena 3. In them, a Vallés has been seen

distancing himself from the official speech and / or benevolent with the Government with which the management of the coronavirus

by the Pedro Sánchez executive

is presented

.

Faced with the justifications and applause from TVE, La Sexta and also Telecinco, the Vallés news programs have become the last stronghold of criticism of the regime on the main television networks in Spain.

Proof of its success is its 'viralization' through social networks.

Above all, from his speech a few months ago: "The impetus with which the Prosecutor's Office has taken up its activity on June 8 is remarkable," Vallés began his speech.

"From the hands of

Dolores Delgado

, in a single day, the Prosecutor's Office has chosen to take the King's case to the Supreme Prosecutor's Office, it has lowered the sentence for Major Trapero to even facilitate his exit from this case without going to prison and has asked that the investigation on the March 8 demonstration involving the government delegate in Madrid be shelved. "

The presenter has also questioned the figures relating to the accounting of those who died due to Covid-19, which clashes with the speech transmitted by the Minister of Health,

Salvador Illa

, and the director since 2012 of the Alerts and Emergencies Coordination Center Health of the Ministry of Health,

Fernando Simón

.

In an interview with the Cope network's 'Time of game' program, the television journalist explained:

"We are trying to reveal the doubts generated by the numbers."

Vicente Vallés is married to the presenter

Ángeles Blanco

, whom he met during his time at Telecinco and who continues to

host

newscasts in her husband's 'competition'.

The presenter, however, commented a few months ago that such a 'rivalry' does not exist and joked about who his children choose when it comes to information.

"When I ask them I say that to me and when she asks them they answer that to her."

Their love emerged in Telecinco in the mid-90s, when they coincided in the news section.

Their relationship has always been very discreet, although Vallés has pointed out on several occasions that "they have never hidden."
