Mercedes dear It is much more than a presenter; She is an emotions narrator, a woman who has made television history and knows that television is show or does not exist. Mercedes has lived with intensity and shared its trip with millions of viewers. From his radio debut to his memorable step by Big Brother, he has left an indelible mark on the Spanish media. Who had held and on Wednesday night, the 59 second program returned to the 2 of RTVE with a delivery marked by intense debates and the presence of Mercedes As a special guest. Under the conduct of Gemma Niergathe space addressed various current issues, from the cultural impact of the film on 47 in the framework of the Goya awards, until the trial to the former president of the Spanish Football Federation, Luis Rubiales. However, the most controversial moment of the night was starring Milá, who had no qualms about launching harsh criticism of political and television figures, leaving statements that demonstrate the impressive energy of the legendary journalist of Esplugas de Llobregat, which, to his 73 years, did not leave a puppet with a head.
Mercedes Milá made it clear from the beginning that he was not on his best day. “I will be critical because I am angry,” he warned at the beginning of his speech, and fulfilled his promise. During the debate on the Luis Rubiales case, the journalist expressed his discontent with the chaos of the exchange between the guests. “I can’t stand that they all talk at once, it’s unbearable. Interesting things are said, but nothing is understood,” he said discomfort. He did not stay there: he highlighted the positive impact of the Jennifer Hermoso case, pointing out that “men has changed the look of us. Now they realize that many things they were doing were not well, and that is a first step.”
However, the moment of greatest tension came when Milar questioned a usual practice on the set: the applause caused by the councilor. “Why don’t you suspend the one that causes public applause? In my programs that is rigorously prohibited,” he said. Given this observation, Gemma Nierga defended the councilor, explaining that it was a signal for the public. “He is a partner who starts applause to mark the end of videos,” he justified. However, Milá did not hold and replied: “Don’t be a ball.”
Felipe González: “Now says Tinterías”
One of the most prominent moments of the interview came when Nierga asked Milá about his opinion about current politics and some of the key figures of Spanish democracy. The journalist did not hesitate to charge against former president Felipe González, whom she described “fool” implicitly, criticizing his evolution and recent statements. “He was worshiped by me, and now we see him made a wink. He does nothing but say nonsense, according to my point of view,” he said hard. Milá was especially critical of González’s position regarding the current president of the Government, Pedro Sánchez. “I cannot understand that he goes against Pedro Sánchez, when what he needs is support from his own party. I find it incomprehensible,” he added. His words reflect the disappointment of someone who once admired the socialist leader and who now considers him an obstacle to the PSOE cohesion.
Aznar and the “eternal fire”
If the criticisms of Felipe González surprised by his forcefulness, those directed to José María Aznar reached another level. Mercedes Milá did not hesitate to analyze the trajectory of the former president of the Popular Party, differentiating between his two legislatures. “Aznar had a surprisingly acceptable first legislature. But when he won by absolute majority, he began to shit it from the first minute. The second drama he had was the attack,” he said, referring to 11-M and its political consequences. However, his toughest words were directed to Aznar’s current role in Spanish politics. Milá accused him of working for the interests of the extreme right. “What Aznar is doing now, which is to work for the ultra -right as possible, will condemn him to eternal fire. This will pay him very expensive,” he said. These statements, which did not leave place to soft interpretations, became one of the most commented moments on social networks after the issuance of the program.
Despite the controversial statements, Mila also offered more calm moments of reflection, especially when addressing the issue of mental health, a debate that closed the night in 59 seconds. The journalist, known for her openness, spoke of the importance of caring for the mind and was sincere on her own challenges. “I am not in a position to be the Milá that was. Now I want to do smaller things, calmly, without fighting,” he confessed.
In this context, Milá advanced some details about a project that he would like to develop on Spanish Television. “My dream has always been to talk to wise people, and many of them are older. I would love to look for them for Spain, to speak calmly, with silences, without hurry. That would be beautiful,” he explained. He also mentioned that he is confident that the current director of RTVE, José Pablo López, can support the idea, describing the possible program as “small, beautiful and not excessively expensive.”
As expected, Mercedes Milá’s statements did not go unnoticed and generated divided opinions between the public and the media. While some praised her honesty and courage to say what she thinks, others accused her of respect for figures such as Felipe González and José María Aznar. In social networks, a debate was opened on the limits of criticism on television and the role of guests in debate programs. On the other hand, the relationship with Gemma Nierga, marked by the comment about his supposed attitude of “ball”, was also analysis. Some spectators considered the exchange as a sample of the naturalness and spontaneity of Milá, while others interpreted it as an unnecessarily abrupt gesture towards the presenter.
Mercedes Milá is full of energy at 73 years after an impressive career
Throughout his career, Mercedes Milá has built a reputation as one of the most incisive journalists with less filters. Your passage through programs such as Big Brother and other television formats consolidated it as a controversial figure, but always authentic. His intervention in 59 seconds It was not different, and, although it generated controversy, it also reminded the public why Milá understands that television is to be shaken and cause situations that keep the viewer attentive.
In an inevitably influenced television world by the “radical good”, and increasingly controlled and politically correct, the presence of figures such as Milá provides a dose of unpredictability and sincerity that, for better or worse, does not leave anyone indifferent. His ability to say what he thinks, regardless of consequences, remains his greatest strength, but also his greatest challenge. On this occasion, with criticism between the humorous and the incendiary, he once again demonstrated that his legacy as a journalist is far from diluting. Mercedes Milá in 59 seconds was the best of a night full of debates.
Mercedes Milá walks through life with a high head, the firm step and the energy of those who have lived so many lives in one that no longer needs to demonstrate anything to anyone. At 73, this woman who rebelled against the conventions of her aristocratic origin has managed to turn her voice and her gaze into a media and personal legacy that challenges the canons of time.
Born in a family of Catalan Abolengo, she was the eldest daughter of the lawyer José Luis Milá, II Count of Montseny, and Mercedes Mencos Bosch. Since childhood, Mercedes was surrounded by an illustrious heritage and an education that prepared it for a predictable destination, marked by the lineage. But that was not his route. Perhaps it was the influence of architect Alfonso Milá or designer Miguel Milá, his creative uncles, who taught him that something new could be built from tradition. Perhaps it was her own innate rebellion that led her to give up the noble title that corresponded to her in favor of her brother José María. In any case, Mercedes decided early that his last name would not be his only merit.
A personal life as intense as his career
Mercedes Milá’s love life It has also been a reflection of his free and passionate personality. For more than twenty years he shared his life with the producer José Sámano, until they divorced in 1997. Samano died more than five years ago. Later, he had a relationship with businessman Carlos Castillo, but never let the labels define their affections. “Love is a place where you nake, but also where you strengthen,” He commented on one occasion, synthesizing his vision of human relations. In the family, Mercedes was always the older sister who broke molds. His relationship with his five brothers, including Lorenzo Milá, a journalist and presenter, has been an important pillar in his life. However, he also decided to forge his own path away from the expectations that his lineage imposed. Giving up the Countess of Montseny was a symbolic act, a clear message that the weight of the blood would not determine who it was. His connection with the nobility, however, is still alive in anecdotes and roots that allow him to understand both the lights and the shadows of that world.
At 73, Mercedes Milá retains a vitality that denies any notion of retirement. It is still a restless woman, always with new projects in mind. His current dream is to create a program where he can talk with wise people, especially older, calmly and depth, far from the spotlights and hurry of the live. For her, listening and learning have always been the key to her trade. That enthusiasm also translates into his lifestyle. Mercedes is a sports lover, nature and animals, and finds in them the necessary balance for their physical and mental health. He has learned, over the years, to prioritize himself, to respect his own rhythms no longer to be dragged by the noise of the world. An example to consider.
