Letizia’s father settles the controversy over his working life with one last ‘zasca’: “I let myself be provoked”

The father-in-law of Philip VI has returned to the fore. Last monday, Jesus Ortiz recovered a tweet she had received in February 2021 in which an X user questioned her work life after announcing her retirement. The journalist, who responded and clashed with other Internet users, settled the controversy this Wednesday with a blunt message: “Well, okay: mea culpa. I have allowed myself to be provoked by beings that I don’t want to classify, who already classify themselves.”

Jesús Ortiz’s attitude has attracted attention in recent hours, as he deviates from the line of discretion and silence that has been established since Zarzuela and that both the parents and the sister of Queen Letizia strictly adhere to. However, the journalist did not let go of what he described as a ‘provocation’: “I confine myself to ‘They bark, then we ride’. May they be happy”It is finished.

To which he added: “You receive a comment from someone who you notice is influenced by the current bullshit, you try to explain their confusing interpretations and those of the bullshit bounce because, I imagine, they lose influence. I block a little, I confess. Only to “false”.

“50 years of working life do not work”

It all started last Sunday, when Doña Letizia’s father recovered the comment of a user named Rosa: “50 years working? On your daughter Letizia’s certificate you appear as a student. On your daughter Telma’s birth certificate you appear as salesman. 50 years of working life don’t work. And when did you become a journalist? Or is your degree the same as Drdo de Sánchez?” Jesús Ortiz responded annoyed: “True: in addition to collaborating on the radio from the age of 18, I was a student. True: in addition to collaborating on the radio and press, I sold whatever was put in front of me. Now, tell me how the professional assignments worked in the 60s and 70s. Would you be one of ‘their tasks’?” And he also pointed out: “And, on your children’s birth certificate, how do they define it? They didn’t even give a mother the option to define a profession. Forgive me, but you have a short vision of what moonlighting was in the years 70. “To worry about what the DNI said.”

The story did not stop there because, a day later, Ortiz announced to his followers that the user had blocked him: “Yesterday, a self-proclaimed teacher and mother of a family, 84 years old, took up a tweet of mine from three years ago to call me a liar. I answered her with good words making her see that what I said was true and her response was… block me! Something is getting out of hand here.”
