“Annoy that I give my opinion, when Silvia Intxaurrondo expresses yours every day in TVE”

Ana Rosa Quintana It has had to “bite the tongue” during the year and a half that has been in the afternoon of Telecinco, but on Monday returns in the morning and, therefore, to politics. “Everything is very polarized. Now there are only progressive and the rest we are the fachosphere”says the communicator, who will also resume those relentless morning publishers in which he usually was very critical with Pedro Sánchez. “I don’t think that worries him. He has many other problems,” he says. “I am just a drop in the ocean.”

In his return in the morning, Ana Rosa will have as rivals Susanna Griso – “It’s very strong”- Silvia walnut treeas an emerging strip star. “That I give my opinion generates in some people a brutal reaction, when Silvia expresses yours every day, I already seems very good to me,” says Ana Rosa about the presenter of The time of 1. It will also compete against Mañaneros, a program full of faces from the ‘Mediaset Universe’. “TVE is’ telecinqueando”.

Alessandro Salem asked you to return to the morning, but at first you did not accept. Because?

He asked me a few months ago if I wanted to go back in the morning and I told him at that moment not. But chains are alive, there is now a new general director [Alberto Carullo] And they have thought that the natural – and I also believe it – is to return to the morning.

Back to the morning means to return to politics, which is something that makes you a lot …

I really like it. I have followed it as if I had to do the program every day and I had to bite my tongue with everything that has happened.

Do you think Pedro Sánchez can be worried about your return to the morning and those publishers you dedicated to him?

I don’t think it’s worried. Pedro Sánchez has other problems that are not my publishers. The poor has enough. I am only a drop in the ocean.

I don’t know, because to be a drop, politicians mention you a lot in parliamentary headquarters …

Yes, it’s true, I don’t know why. But our obligation as journalists is to explain what happens as we see. It is called democracy and freedom of expression.

Do politicians use some communicators as a throwing weapon?

Everything is very rare and very polarized. And it has become intentionally. The world is divided into two: the progressives – for the way, PNV and together … that are very progressive – and the rest we are ‘fachosfera’. It is an abuse of the word and, therefore, loses the meaning.

How do you take that Ana Rosa is Facha?

It makes me laugh. They have the problem. We all have a trajectory and a life. And some, even, have lived the transition and know what freedom and tolerance are.

You interviewed Pedro Sánchez for the last time before the 23J elections. Would you dare now to sit with you?

Guest is. I have already asked for it and I would love to come. But he is more tending to go to more comfortable places. In Sánchez’s first elections I had a fantastic relationship with him, but when politicians arrive at Moncloa, I don’t know what happens to them.

What do you think has happened to him?

They are found, they are defensive … Sánchez has many problems and one of those he has is that he cannot go out.

Do you think this government will endure?

I think Pedro Sánchez will try to endure everything he can. But in the end it does not depend on him, but on Puigdemont. He will demand and Sánchez will give him everything he can.

You compete again with Susanna Griso. How are you going to counteract the growth that is starring in Antena 3?

I have a lot of love and respect for Susanna Giso. He is doing a great job and his program is very strong. We all go out to win, but now we have to fight day by day.

Another of your rivals is going to be Silvia Intxaurrondo. What do you think about the work you are doing in TVE?

I know Silvia because one of the first works he did on television was with our producer, in A new time. Then we have not seen each other, because each one has followed their way, but we had a good relationship.

What happens is that, I do not know why, but that I express my opinion generates in some people a brutal reaction, when Silvia expresses her opinion every day, I already seems very good.

Should you express your opinion on TVE, a public television?

It seems very good that a communicator expresses her opinion. Whether on a public television, that does not depend on it.

Do you think she does not receive the same criticisms as you?

I don’t know. I have not heard it [su nombre] In Parliament.

You will also compete against ‘Mañaneros’, which is being filled with faces of the Mediaset universe. What do you think?

Each chain does what you want. If they are legal contracts and their budget allows it … but it is true that TVE is ‘telecinqueando’.

Should tve ‘telecing’?

TVE must be a plural, objective and public service television. If they fulfill it, it is the same who does.

They say save me – the producer manufacturers – will end up in TVE. What would you think?

I have been hearing it a long time, but since I don’t know if it will happen I can’t give an opinion.

Your relationship with manufacturers, what was previously the TV factory, is not good. How do you receive your criticism from or what we were?

I believe that if they do it is because it gives them an audience or likes In their networks. Everyone does what they can. I have another policy, I never talk about colleagues, but each one is each.

Manufacturers were positioned a few days ago – with a statement by Óscar Cornejo and Adrián Madrid – on the side of Mirta Drago, former Mediaset dircom, in the controversy of your controversial audio that went viral in networks. What conclusion do you take?

They were very friends when they were in Mediaset. They wanted to lend a hand to a friend.

You have also said that it seemed too coincidence that the audio came out again before returning to Telecinco mornings …

It is a coincidence … life is full of coincidences. It is very curious, because it is a very old thing that was already published. Let’s see who resists that they record you when you are not. And I also said that many of the journalists were vetoed at that stage of Mediaset. Everyone does their job, but I do not agree with vetoed anyone.

Has your relationship with Jorge Javier improved in recent times? Have you approached positions?

My relationship with Jorge Javier in the last 30 years is the same … just as chaotic. He, who is so ready, said it perfectly, we are Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. We love each other, we get angry, we love each other again … But, in the end, he knows who we are each. It has been very elegant telling our history.

You should recover the section you made together in your program.

It will not be because I have not asked for it, but not he does not give more of himself, he is with The newspaper, GH, Survivors… He has always had the door open, whenever we needed we have been there. Now he doesn’t need us, but the door is always open.

Would you be willing to produce Jorge Javier in an afternoon program?

Jorge Javier is a great professional, one of the great presenters of this country, but that is a decision that corresponds to the chain.
