• 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.
