On Twitter, Monica López, TVE weather presenter, apologizes from her quarantine
In Spanish Television there are several unwritten codes that all workers know.
The first is where you work:
in Torrespaña the news
and information
programs are made
and in Prado del Rey, the entertainment programs.
The second is that unions have been demanding a degree in journalism from those who present information programs for years.
RTVE
only demands that you be licensed
, no matter what.
Under these premises, when the management of the public entity dismantled
The Breakfasts
and announced that the new format
would be recorded in Prado del Rey,
many journalists in the house complained in the corridors.
Enric Hernández began the search for someone willing to present the new format, but several of the people he interviewed
refused
, apologizing, in part, because it would be recorded in Prado del Rey.
Then, Hernández reached
Mónica López.
Physics had been at the forefront of the
El tiempo
space for more than ten years
and Hernández knew of his interest in doing other things.
He proposed the program to her and she accepted.
Here came the
violation of
the second unwritten code of the chain:
López is a physicist, not a journalist
, so her step to the front provoked a complaint from the unions.
"The program began with many problems,
there was no way to find filmmakers
who would go to Prado del Rey and Mónica arrived a little by default," a source from the house informs LOC.
The attacks on physics have come from the beginning.
First it was an interview with Cayetana Álvarez de Toledo.
The latest,
a public apology to Iván Espinosa de los Monteros
for some comments on Twitter.
Because Monica is very active in that social network, where she publishes her personal opinions daily.
There he even told
how his daughters skipped rope at home during confinement
.
López is the mother of two girls who were born as a result of her marriage to
David Torres,
who worked at Radio 4, in Catalonia.
The couple, however, separated five years ago although they still share the management of one of the two companies that they founded together, Geritras, through which they manage a nursing home.
The other society they created cost Monica a work-related punishment.
The meteorologist and her husband founded Meteoplay SL, a company that produces audiovisual material about the weather.
In 2014 she
was investigated
for that and was
punished
with 15 days without employment or salary.
López overcame that scandal and in six years
has greatly improved his career.
Also your contract.
She has a normal employment contract, but with a bonus for being the presenter of a television program.
