The connection of a TVE reporter on the Channel 24 hours on the morning of Thursday, July 16 has gone viral on social networks. Olga Lambea , presenter of the news programs of the chain, gave way to her partner Juan Ballesteros . He was in charge of informing about the high temperatures that are being registered in Castilla La-Mancha, an issue that they later influenced when indicating that the alert was activated in six autonomous communities.

The journalist said first: "Good morning from Toledo, a city in which the real news on July 16 would be that it was not hot . This is called the yellow alert Aemet ."

He continued talking about the thermometer marks in the area: "It will make a maximum temperature in Ciudad Real of 37 degrees, almost no fever in terms of body temperature . One more degree, 38, will do in the Guadiana valleys and del Tajo. All this has a translation in risk of fires, which effectively increase these days. "

The most controversial part of his speech came at the end, when he commented with irony on his situation: "I am not going to bore you with recommendations due to the heat, they already have enough with the pandemic. There is one that says that at this central hour of the day let's not be in the sun, which is what I'm doing now . "

It ended like this: "So if you think so, Manu , we say goodbye to the connection to Torrespaña's colleagues , who probably have more interesting things to tell."

The journalist Alfonso Hermida shared the video on Twitter and wrote: "With a copy to all the news editors in Spain. Bravo for this colleague." His post exceeds 12,000 retweets. The presenter Olga Lambea also published it in her account and added: "Well, that."

Reactions in the networks

Juan Ballesteros' intervention has been widely commented on social networks, where he has generated disparate reactions. Some people were critical of him, stating that his performance had not been correct.

The journalist Rafael Gómez opined: " It seems to me a lack of respect and taste. Probably also professionalism. Many times reporters do not share opinion with editors but you have to abide."

"It seems to me that it is superfluous and it is an immense lack of respect for his colleagues (to whom they do make those connections in the traditional way) and for the viewer who may be interested in what he says," said one tweeter. "I'm not interested in soccer, but I can't think of saying it's not news," said another user.

There were those who defended Ballesteros : "What he has done here is a bold and ingenious criticism of how empty the information has been." A spectator said: "I am sick of the news being hot in the summer."
