Ana Rosa, Madrid Gold Medalist: her impressive lesson in courage to get up when she falls

There is no lack of merit Ana Rosa Quintana to receive prizes and this Monday of San Isidro Jose Luis Martinez Almeida gives him the Madrid Medal of Honor. The woman from Madrid, from Usera to be more specific, is very happy and that her shelves hold more awards than those of Messi.

In fact, her collection of statuettes and medals includes from an Ondas to several TP de Oro, from the Prize for the Best Shoe Woman in Spain to the Prize for Favorite Daughter of Seville. It seems logical that this veteran from Madrid was proposed by the municipal government of the capital’s City Council for such an important and well-deserved distinction.

The professional value of Ana Rosa Quintana It is evidence that needs few arguments. She is undoubtedly one of the most effective communicators in Spain, she is also the most influential presenter and, what is more important, she has been so for decades.

Alessandro Salem He has therefore chosen the best he has to turn Mediaset around. No matter how many risks it involves and no matter how much is said about swerve political. Another thing is the terrible management of the chain to communicate its decision. It was a path that many people predicted months before this portal announced its arrival in the afternoon to replace Save me. Simplify a television animal the size of Ana Rosa Quintana linking the decision to place it in instead of Jorge Javier Vazquez with his dislikes for Pedro Sanchez or its closeness to Isabel Diaz Ayuso It is as ridiculous as saying that Real Madrid has won 35 Leagues, 20 Copas del Rey and 14 Champions for being the favorite team of power. Sorry to name the team Santiago Bernabeu in an article about a pathological athlete, more than the mayor who this Monday gives him the best of his medals.

But beyond the empathy with Ana Rosa’s camera, her undeniable gift for communication, her proven ability to choose her teams, having important people on her agenda, or her immense capacity for work, the 67-year-old from Madrid is a woman with an admirable ability to get up fall and accept any blow with admirable bravery and daring.

And we are not just referring to his titanic fight against breast cancer, which already shows great courage. And to accept the challenge of being there in the morning and in the afternoon, she has used that courage anarrosic, word that should be incorporated into the dictionary as it happened with “berlanguiano”, in its day.

By the way, the extensive career of Ana Rosa is very cinematographic, not only because of his fast-paced personal and professional activity, but also because he has reflected very well the most smelly, that is to say, taking note of the chaotic present, day by day narrating the grotesque evidence of our monstrosities, applying his vitality to events that without his touch would have seemed to us devoid of any moral category. We owe to Ana Rosa that bittersweet and moving vision of ourselves that she has portrayed. But she herself has been the protagonist of events that no other great character would have endured without flinching.

Start over

It has not been however Jose Luis Garcia Berlanga the filmmaker who marked a good part of Ana Rosa’s life. In 1989, she fell in love with Jose Luis Garcia, whom he was dating for almost a decade, until the Oscar winner and the journalist broke up in the late ’90s, and he began dating Cayetana Guillen Cuervo, with whom he fell in love on the set of Grandpa (1998). From that heartbreak she rose, as she did before with her first husband and father of her firstborn, the journalist Alfonso Rojo. She created a family, she married the real man in her life and had two children in her late 50s. That happiness has been able to consolidate it and has undoubtedly contributed to her subsequent successes.

We said that Ana Rosa Quintana always had the immense virtue of knowing how to start over above any adversity. Because the main virtue of Ana Rosa is perhaps that she is a human being who makes mistakes and gets up with two flats. Thanks to which the public perceives it with great closeness.

She has not only been a chronicler of the most Berlanguian Spain: She has also starred in embarrassing moments, such as the well-known case of her controversial debut as a writer, with the novel taste of gall, supposedly based on stories of battered women who had been through his shows. Before Planeta withdrew it, the book sold 100,000 copies. He was introduced to him by none other than his namesake Ana Bottle, wife of the then Prime Minister, Jose Maria Aznar. Is Ana Rosa’s life Berlangian or not?

Another matter that we must place in Ana Rosa’s debt is that her husband and brother-in-law were splashed by one of the scandals of former Commissioner Villarejo. Five years ago now, Ana Rosa’s husband was arrested by the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office, within the framework of the Tandem operation, for hiring Commissioner Villarejo to collect a debt, by extorting a judge with a video. The Sevillian businessman was released days later.

But Ana Rosa not only accepts the plagiarism of the famous book or the sordid scandal with the corrupt policeman and her husband in the middle, but she advances, goes further, becomes stronger, becomes a better professional, grows as a businesswoman and now she comes to the rescue of Mediaset before the call for help from the new CEO.

Of course, the courage and good work of Ana Rosa have a prize. Having been the queen of mornings for almost two decades and being a benchmark as a communicator has made Ana Rosa Quintana very rich, whose heritage includes at least four wonderful properties. Not long ago she bought a new house in Seville (her husband is from there) with views of Triana, almost 300 square meters, a step away from the Maestranza and very close to her friend Carlos Herrera.

Before doubling with the mornings and afternoons, she earned 130,000 euros a month, although Business Insider, He estimated his income at around 4 million euros per year.
