Susanna Griso He swept Broncano: El Hormiguero shattered the revolt by win (he took 400,000 spectators on average and almost 3 points of Share). Part of the fault of this data was grissing, who changed this Wednesday morning at night and Public mirror by El Hormiguero And he has sat next to Matías Prats (74) Pablo Motos, Trancas and Barrancas to celebrate the 35 years of Antena 3. In a distended conversation the three antenna 3 stars have reviewed key moments of the chain. With more than 20 years in front of the cameras, Susanna Griso is one of the most respected television figures. His presence in El Hormiguero It allowed us to better know the human side of a journalist who has been on the first line of information and also really understand the dynamics of power that mark the world of politics and media. Griso made it clear that behind the smiles and the affable gestures of politicians, there is always a goal. She, far from being seduced, says she prefers to observe, analyze and maintain her independence.
If something was clear during the talk, it is that Griso, 55, in addition to dominating today, has a special ability to unravel the relationship between the media and politicians. A complex relationship already loaded with subtleties, which Susanna has learned to interpret from direct experience. Griso shared anecdotes of his meetings with the most relevant political leaders of the last decades. “I have eaten with all the presidents of the Government. I have gone to Moncloa several times,” confessed. However, it was Mariano Rajoy (69) who seems to have marked his personal record: “With whom I have eaten the most was with Rajoy, Because I caught him at the time of repetition of elections, he had to be a bit boring. I called us, and there was a day that I even had to go because I had the professor of Pilates at home. “
The Barcelona journalist told this scene among laughs, but the background of her experience sheds light on an interesting facet of power: the strategic closeness that some politicians seek to maintain with influential journalists. Pablo Motos (59), always curious, wanted to know if there were differences in the atmosphere of meals according to the president in question. Although Griso did not enter direct comparisons between Rajoy and Pedro Sánchez, something fundamental made clear: short politicians are charming. “In the short distance they are affable. Politicians never direct you directly, but try to seduce you when they have you nearby. When you are further, the complaints come to you, but in person they try to attract you.”
These words reflect a known truth among information professionals: power does not confront, but seduces. It is a constant persuasion game, where meals, informal meetings and kind gestures are only tools to gain influence or, at least, to soften the narrative that can be built in the media.
Susanna Griso, however, wanted to underline that these interactions do not affect their independence as a journalist. “The meals do not condition me, they give me context”, He affirmed with forcefulness. For her, sharing a table with the country’s leaders does not mean giving land, but gaining a more direct perspective of the character behind the position. In this sense, Griso claimed the importance of maintaining objectivity and not being dragged by closeness, a complex balance in a trade where personal relationships can easily intertwine with professional interests.
Beyond the anecdotes, the talk in El Hormiguero It allowed Griso and Prats to reflect on how political journalism has changed over the years. Both agreed that access to politicians has changed considerably. Before, personal encounters were more frequent, less measures interviews and more spontaneous responses. Today, with hypercommunication in social networks, messages are more controlled than ever. “The context has changed and, with him, also the way in which politicians relate to us,” said Griso. However, its commitment to rigorous and contextualized information remains a constant.
