It is one thing to see ghosts and quite another to think that they are everywhere. Because talking about Belmez’s faces is not the same as spreading hoaxes about non-existent corpses in a tragedy as forceful as the DANA that Valencia swallowed. To Iker Jiménez, A communication colossus capable of succeeding on both Cuatro and Telecinco, both on television and radio or on Sundays as well as during the week, he did very well when he dedicated himself to chasing monsters, revealing mysteries and identifying Chupacabras. Encouraged by his enormous success, he looked more and more over the precipice, into the present, into a world where lack of rigor is punished with emptiness. And, in the middle of so much mud, it ended up muddy, almost as much as his collaborator Rubén Gisbert, caught red-handed rolling in mud to dramatize a connection between his program and what is already one of the saddest episodes in the history of Spain.
«For that official death toll to be said at this time, seeing what we saw and knowing what they know, is an ignominy, a fucking shame for the Spanish people. Enough already. We want the truth. In the Bonaire parking lot there are many bodies, many bodies. Many”, tweeted Iker Jiménez, dressed for the occasion as a popular vigilante of the DANA victims. And his wife continued on ‘Horizonte’, the program with which he set a historic record on Cuatro: «We have information from a colleague of ours who is there. I was next to civil guards and had overheard a conversation that said that this parking lot is hell. For anyone who wants to say they haven’t found anything. Civil Guard submariners who have entered have also said that they will not enter again. In case you want to put on some more makeup. And thus, in a few words, a metamorphosis that had been brewing for years concluded. The distance that goes from whispering to ghosts to becoming a speaker of intoxicated ‘information’.
In the Bonaire parking lot there are many bodies, many bodies. Many.

He backed down later, but it was too late, a spokesperson, perhaps involuntary or unconscious, of the endemic evil that plagues the world in times of catharsis: contaminating, inciting hatred, benefiting from the pain of others to spread distrust. Bringing the well-intentioned search for the truth to delirium at any price. In an interview with ABC, on the occasion of the premiere of ‘Horizonte’, three years ago, Iker Jiménez defined himself as “an outlaw” among his own, and in a way he hit the nail on the head. Uncomfortable voice for paranormal investigators, seen out of the corner of the eye by journalists, the presenter of ‘Fourth Millennium’ He has adopted the tangent, the alternative path. And there he has sailed, in his ship of mystery, at all costs and without brakes.
Iker Jiménez boasts to treat all topics with skepticism, which is the same when analyzing a Marian apparition as it is when examining the official DANA death toll. But it’s not the same. The change of register and themes has in recent years placed its ship of mystery in the orbit of sensationalism and conspiracy theories. The ‘Horizonte’ debates bring together professors and scientists with flat-earthers and public agitators at the same table in what is intended to be an exercise in freedom of expression taken to its maximum expansion, but which is, in reality, a frivolization of very sensitive issues. and informative irresponsibility when what is at stake is the health of the viewer.
The clique of collaborators is, clearly, one of its greatest burdens and, as ABC has learned, also a cause of contention. in Jiménez’s own team. Figures as Ángel Gaitán or Marc Vidal make people uncomfortable because of their profile as agitators and because of their controversial interventions in the program. «They know how many people have disappeared. And they know how many missing people are deceased. “They treat us as idiots, as children and as sheep,” the latter stated, with total impunity, the other day in the Mediaset space.
The ghosts of Iker Jiménez
«He is brave and bold in calling experts, which has sometimes caused him more than one displeasure, because he does not think in a political way, but in a journalistic way, and there are people in this deliberately polarized and manipulated society who still do not understand that. . I like the clean and surprised look he so often has on current events. Iker is a free spirit and a loose verse in the media system,” admits David Felipe Arranz, collaborator of Iker Jiménez, whom he defines as “a great journalist and beautiful person.”
José Manuel Nieves, A collaborator of ‘Cuarto Milenio’ for many years, he defends the program’s treatment and interest in scientific dissemination issues and also the “rigor” of Iker Jiménez, at least in the issues with which he participates. «He has always respected the topics that I propose and treats them well. If they have to make a graph, they spend the money and do it, they make models, everything necessary to make it look great,” highlights the journalist specialized in science and technology, who is abundant: “He is a very curious person, he likes to investigate and “know the whys of all things.”
A journalist as praised as he is criticized, the instinct of the communicator is irreproachable, capable of understanding the relevance of Covid before many, daring to give a live voice to scientists who questioned the official story and accusing, shortly after, the forced break of ‘Fourth Millennium’, that disappeared from the Mediaset grid during the pandemic. They then made the leap to YouTube, where they continued trying to shed light on the virus with ‘Milenio Live’ and ‘La estirpe de los libre’. “Those strange reporters who talked about little ghosts were right,” Carmen Porter said then. Sometimes they get it right and other times they fail, but making a mistake with psychophony is not the same as making a mistake with a natural disaster.
