“What a strong mess, right? Vinicius was injured,” Pablo Motos started with this phrase. The Anthill this Monday. Then, before starting the first interview of the night, he said: “Today I have no choice but to defend myself from an attack what they have done to the team and to me. I’ll do it later.”
With the program already advanced, Motos has already entered into the matter and referred to the public complaint that David Broncano, the presenter of La Revuelta, launched last Thursday, when he accused the program of vetoing an interview with Jorge Martín, world motorcycle champion GP. Motos attacked RTVE, spoke of “smoke screens” and accused public television of journalistic “malpractice.” This is Motos’ full comment:
Among the things that Motos stated are these. “First of all, I want to apologize to the entire audience, which is happening in this country, with Aldama and the management of DANA, for having to talk about the management of an interview, but I need to reset the truth“.
“There has been a lot of talk,” he added. “There are interests and smoke screens. What happened to the famous interview with Jorge Martín? In The Anthill, as we have been doing for 19 years, […] We plan the interviews well in advance. We had the interview closed and agreed upon on October 29, and we had a commitment from his team that he would give the first interview in The Anthill. That was the commitment. And we claim it because offering you the best program is a very serious thing.”
“The agreed date for the interview was Wednesday, November 27, as it will be. But last Thursday the 21st we were surprised,” Motos continued, “when we saw a video in which it was said that he was going to The Revolt. What we did was what any professional would do, which is call their team and ask what happened. It explains to us that there has been a lack of coordination and the solution that decide is that Jorge would record that interview and it would not be broadcast before coming to The anthill So Jorge did do the interview last Thursday, it was recorded, although this was hidden and was not known until the next day thanks to the independent media, which denied the initial version.”
“I would not be here giving this explanation if things had not been contradicted to make them appear to be what they are not. And if the professionalism of our team had not been doubted. And even less so if this distorted version is broadcast from public television. […]which estimated that this was one of the three most important topics of that day. “I’m not exaggerating,” Motos said.
“What was a mere misunderstanding,” Motos added, “by a guest was turned into one of the main news stories on the news. […] I think there is more important news that affects citizens much more. And if it had such significance, the logical thing is to call the other party involvedas most media outlets have done. It is very surprising that no one from TVE has called us or AtresMedia. This malpractice It is more typical of misinformation than of public television that omits the duty to verify information. […] That’s why, It is difficult for us to believe that there are no other interests behind this distorted version“.
“Lament that someone has transformed an issue like this into a state issue. Thanks to Hugh Grant and everyone who saw us on Thursday, because we were the most watched of the day,” Motos closed.
The presenter of The Revolt, David Broncano had denounced last Thursday pressure from El Hormiguero so that their guest of the day, the recent Moto GP winner Jorge Martinwill not participate in the program. The controversy generated an avalanche of reactions on networks.
This is how Broncano had explained what happened on Thursday:
“He’s down there in the dressing room. It’s now 6 p.m. The show normally starts recording at 5 or something and at 4:30 p.m., half an hour before the show starts, we’ve been told that in The Anthill They found out that I was coming here today and since in theory I was going there next week with them and they don’t want anyone to come here before there, they have pulled their strings. I’m not going to go into details of how they have done it, but they already have their ways of putting pressure on these things. And then Jorge He has told us that he cannotthat he cannot do the interview here today,” he said Broncano.
After, The Anthill explained what happened this way in X: “It was a minor misunderstanding. Two weeks before the final, we had agreed to have exclusive Jorge Martin in our program. Today one of their representatives made a mistake by changing the visit they had scheduled with another pilot. “After what happened, Dorna, the organizing company of the Motorcycle World Championship, contacted the representatives to resolve the situation.”
Broncano’s program Instead of the interview with Martín, he broadcast several minutes of images of animals. This is how the program started this Monday:
“We are all the criers. Thanks to everyone who ate 20 minutes of animal images. The most viewed La 2 documentary in history. “More than 50 million people have seen it on social networks alone,” La Revuelta wrote on its X account.
Later, during the program, in an interview with Rigoberta BandiniBroncano took up the topic.
“Says Rigoberta Bandini that she can’t go have fun because she’s banned. We have said it dozens of times but we absolutely don’t care if the guests go here before or after other places,” La Revuelta wrote on its X account.
