José Luis Martínez Almeidaat 48 years old, said “yes, I want” to Teresa Urquijo, 27, this Saturday, April 13. The wedding of the Madrid mayor and his now wife, linked in terms of kinship to the Bourbons, has generated great media interest.
One of the television stations that covered the event was Telemadrid, with two cuts in its programming to report on the link. Connections that have been criticized by the PSOE and Más Madrid and also by representatives of Podemos and other left-wing parties. From Madrid television, they also pointed out that it was “the news of the day and the wedding of the year.”
Pablo Iglesiaswho recently debuted as a collaborator of Mornings together with José Manuel García-Margallo (PP), has given his opinion on the matter from the aforementioned TVE program: “It is not a social event if Telemadrid broadcasts it. If Telemadrid broadcasts it, it is an exhibition of the political power of the right“.
From Jaime Cantizano’s space, the former second vice president of the Government has also put his sights on one of the guests, the King Juan Carlosfirst cousin of the bride’s maternal grandmother: “We have learned that the monarchy has a party, the PP. We have seen an emeritus who had to exile himself to a petro-dictatorship so as not to further affect the institution that he continues to represent better than that of his own heir. We have seen a parade of corrupt. “We have seen an exhibition of the power of the PP broadcast on PP television, on Telemadrid.”
The former Minister of Social Rights and Agenda 2030 has also concluded his argument with another opinion about the royal institution, pointing out, “the mountain of crimes and shame that the Spanish monarchy represents to the shame of the citizens of this country”: “It’s terrible… The monarchy is a symbol of corruption and the right”.
The opinions of Margallo and Begoña Villacís
Margallo, a fellow talk show host, said: “The media seem to have the obligation to broadcast what is news and to deny that this wedding was news is absurd. Therefore, If Telemadrid had not broadcast it it would be a lack of professionalism and a loss of audience. This is an absolutely private event. It was held on a farm owned by her family. It would be a political issue if public resources had been used to magnify this event, this is not the case.“.
Regarding the presence of King Juan Carlos, he pointed out: “That is democratic normalization. King Juan Carlos, among other things, has Spanish citizenship and Spanish citizens enjoy all the rights and freedoms granted to them by the Constitution. as long as there are no pending cases. These cases have been filed and The king has the right to travel through Spain. I am glad that the king can be in his homeland. I have not met anyone who loves Spain like he does and being outside of Spain is a tremendous pain for him.“.
Begoña Villacísformer vice mayor of Madrid for Ciudadanos, has also participated in the debate table and has focused the focus on another issue: “I don’t know how Telemadrid followed the link. What did seem very bad to me was the fierce criticism of women who were at the wedding for how they dressed.because of the similarities they had and that seems wrong to me when it is done to someone on the left and also when it is done to someone on the right. I find it quite unpleasant. It’s been pretty disgusting“.
