Pablo Motorcycles broke his silence this Monday, November 25 after David BroncanoIn The revolt of TVE, accused The anthill to “put pressure” so that his guests do not go to his program before that of Antena 3. The controversy became a national debate, even the news programs of the public channel gave it the greatest importance (the same day when businessman Víctor Aldama accused senior officials of the Sanchista government of pocketed commissions). Motos, who never responded to Broncano’s attacks and mockery, wanted to clarify what happened last Thursday when La Revuelta did not broadcast an interview with Jorge Martín, the Moto GP champion, who was previously committed to The anthill.
The defense of Pablo Motos
As soon as the program starts. Pablo Motos said: “I have never entered into a controversy but today I have to defend myself from an attack that was made on the program and on myself.. But that will be later, during the program.
The presenter gave way to the guests of the evening, the actors Kira Miro And Save the queen, who went to promote the film Who is who.
Later, Motos, after an interview with some of his regular collaborators, faced the controversy and said: “First of all, I want to apologize to the public for everything that is happening with the confessions of Aladama and all the government and government involvement. management of DANA, having to talk about the management of an interview makes me a little hesitant but I need to establish the truth. There has been a lot of talk about this subject, perhaps too much, but there are interests and smokescreens that we cannot control. There was a lot of talk about El Hormiguero and sometimes atrocious things were said about me. I guess being a program watched for so many years leads to high visibility, with good and bad things and I’ve always assumed that and I’ve always tried to avoid controversies even when in other competing programs they are made against me, in a continuous, tasteless and disrespectful manner, camouflaged with humor when in reality, they are attacks. I can’t stand it but I can’t allow it when the team is attacked. The anthill. What happened with the interview? We have had the agreed interview with Jorge Martín since October 29. It was November 27. We had agreed with his team to interview him if he was proclaimed champion and also if not. We were surprised when we watched a video and saw that he was going to La Revuelta. We did what any professional would do and called his team and they told us that there was a lack of coordination between the people managing Jorge’s schedule. Jorge conducted the interview and it was recorded, hidden but only known to independent media. I would not be here to give this explanation which happens every day if things were not told as they are not, and even less if this distorted version was broadcast on a public channel. A network that we all paid for and decided this topic was one of the most important news stories around. I’m not exaggerating. What was just a misunderstanding was transformed into a major news item by a News. Honestly, I think there’s more important news. It is very strange that no one from TVE called us. We find it hard to believe that there is nothing behind all this. We are sad that an issue like this is a state issue. »
Summary of the controversy
On Thursday, November 21, after a week during which he had lost hearings every day against The anthillDavid Broncano groaned in front of his audience because, as he himself admitted, there would be no interview that evening. “We were going to bring Jorge Martín, the Moto GP champion, actually he is downstairs in the changing rooms, but they called him and pressured him not to come out. “After so many years, it’s time to talk about it.”
The new Spanish MotoGP world champion preferred not to answer questions from Broncano, who gave a long speech explaining the absence of the new Aprilia rider. “Half an hour before starting the program, they told us that in The anthill They found out. “They don’t want anyone to come here before there and they pulled the strings,” the comedian said. They have their way of putting pressure on these things and Jorge told us he couldn’t come. They did what they could do. He told us: I can’t attend the program because some things might happen. Today is not the first time this has happened, which is why we decided to talk about it directly. The program was dismantled because our current work was ruined. This is something that has been happening since The Resistance. Some guests have said so. There has always been this type of game.”
As soon as this happened in The revoltfrom El’s official X account Anthill A brief statement was released explaining the situation: “It was a little misunderstanding.. Two weeks before the final, we agreed to have Jorge Martín exclusively on our program. Today, one of their representatives made a mistake by changing the planned visit with another pilot. After what happened, Dorna, the organizing company of the Motorcycle World Championship, contacted representatives to resolve the situation.
But the controversy, even if it may seem ridiculous, was used by TVE to campaign against competition. Remember that Broncano was handpicked by Moncloa to weaken Pablo Motos, still very opposed to Pedro Sanchez.
It is also remarkable that this war between presenters even appeared on the TVE television news, the same day when the businessman Victor Aldama– one of the key characters of the Koldo affair and alleged “link” of union with former minister José Luis Ábalos and his advisor (Koldo García) in the conspiracy to purchase masks from the Ministry of Transport – explained, before the judge, the links that unite him to PSOE and the environment of Pedro Sánchez in exchange for his request for release.
