There was a boy from the village who did not care much for social life, but was endowed with an infallible bow: against retreat, talk. Even in his sleep he spoke, read, and did not write badly; Curiosity was their way of life. He learned the art of blacksmithing from his elders in Mariña Lucense, the land of blacksmiths. “Create a good climate”And look, they put it on TV (CQCEl Intermedio) to disturb, as a street reporter or cojonera fly. gonzo (Vigo, 1976) he’s still that crazy short guy, being small is key, but he’s running the best journalistic program on Spanish television today,’was recorded‘, the new season starts on January 15.
– Is there anything that embarrasses you a lot (personal, not worth the others)?
Many things, but above all flattery: I do not live well with flattery and drop (CQC) I even had to stop going out at night.
Are you trying to make me believe you’re shy?
Not exactly, but it’s hard for me to socialize, I have a hard time when I have to go on a date with someone. That’s why I talk to improve myself so that I don’t feel observed.
-When you were the bravest reporter on TV (more on that later) Search)?
They came to shoot me, they fired me from many places, but that’s what I was looking for: to disturb. That was the motivation for the program.
– Does apathy work or is it pure Galician DNA?
It’s a way of being, and it’s also Galician.
-And did the dare come from the factory, or did your daredevil and extraterrestrial clumsy character mingle with the Muppets’ Gonzo?
No, because there were too many fernandos in the class, they gave me a nickname (Fernando González González). I am too unconscious to dare. When I see adrenaline, I feel sucked in and don’t think about the consequences, and that works great on TV.
And here they give him the big piece, the big interview on TV, was recorded. Besides your modesty and pristine Galician accent, do you have another key to creating a mirage of confidence in your interviewers?
There is one thing, yes, and I think that’s how people feel heard. It has always happened to me among my friends. director gonzo method He said that my sad and sad eyes and my (thin-lipped) smile also contributed to this. I try to make people feel comfortable and to show my respect. A guest arrives and finds a crew of eight and, say, four cameras, and even the most arrogant dwarf remains, and a small-to-large interview never turns out well. To ask an annoying question, I need to feel a warm relationship with the character. So, I’m not a bastard. They came to me, you can come to my house whenever you want, but I will never give you an interview again.
So you consider yourself a good person?
I come from rural-rural and my parents and grandparents (Riotorto, Lugo, forge land) has always taught me to create a good climate, as a way of life, to make a profit in the long run, at a fair, in the neighborhood.
– In addition to the highest degree of employment, what did you find in this other famous Galician like Minister Yolanda Díaz?
Who knows how to create areas of trust and constantly strives for it. Díaz is different from all other politicians, and it’s no coincidence that he’s always been the most valued person in polls. He knows how to create the necessary environment for negotiation in the most difficult situations.
What question would you ask Putin if you had the chance?
Hummmmm, yes: “What good does the invasion of Ukraine do for your people? And for you?”
-One of the last programs: alcoholism seems to be a historical and common thing in Spain. Hey, could this be the ultimate cause of our black legend?
Considering that this country has a serious alcoholism problem, we are one of the top drinking towns. We are the country of fermented beverages consumed slowly compared to countries where distilled beverages are consumed fast. I think the problem can be solved if alcohol doesn’t get this preferential treatment compared to other addictive products or drugs; that is, if the drinks contain nutritional information like any other product in a supermarket. I’m not advocating a fatherly alcohol policy, but it would be interesting if people knew what they were doing, what they were putting into their bodies.
– Toilets, truckers, police and even firefighters, but why is no one in the media talking about the misery we journalists go through? Does it embarrass us?
No, but we are talking about ourselves, we convey our distress to people…? It would make me very humble, would look endogamous, yes. It seems necessary to talk about journalism only as an active part of the tension we live in, to look in the mirror.
-Two to one: Does it make sense to make a paper newspaper in a country where there are no kiosks? Who makes money in the media today, in this ná de ná kingdom, apart from four famous talkers who are neither journalists nor anything else?
We are responsible: we have accepted too much. We are in the profession where there is little strike and demonstration, and how many media unions, de facto company committees? The first reason for self-censorship in a journalism company is working conditions: we are not free, what we get for our work does not allow us to be free. And that’s a victory for economic power, power itself, which I don’t think would have happened in the 1980s.
-It started with the millennium and at the age of 8 you had a program under your own name in Antena 3, were you always the winner?
No, it was a lottery. I was at RTVE in Galicia in 2005, an acquaintance called me and CQC They need a reporter. He told them about a journalist colleague who was crazy, and… call, you call, he told me. And I searched for a great plan to flirt with the most beautiful girl on television (who is now his wife and mother of two children) and bragged that they had put a test on me. drop. Right after that test, that same Friday, on a plane to Buenos Aires, CQC: Zapatero’s official trip to visit Raul Alfonsín and me, who hated the cameras, suddenly found myself pointing the microphone at the president of Argentina, who was so admired by my immigrant family, and said, “Mr. Alfonsín, President, I’m going to tell an Argentine joke”.
-Instead, she says it’s hard for her to get a career as silly and easy as journalism. Was he bad with the priests? For studying in the Papacy!
I studied at Ponti because at Xornalismo de Santiago they wanted 8.5. On the other hand, you took an entrance exam in Salamanca and it wasn’t expensive, so I came to an agreement with my family: I studied and got a room at Citroën in the summer.
– As Franco’s commentators say, were you already a “race journalist”? Where did the profession come from?
No, no, the race gave me the drill of the profession. The things I was good at were speaking, expressing myself, reading and writing. And I am very childish: journalism is the profession that most rewards being like a child: curious, unconventional, unconventional, trying to go further, and that people are aware of. And I’m so childish, even my children tell me.
–Vigo capital Lisbon: You have not experienced the movement, but do you feel that you are somehow its heir? Did you absorb this?
More than sucking, I suffered the consequences of the ’80s in Vigo, where there was a lot of heroin epidemic. We were the child victims of the junkies, we knew that going down from our neighborhood, As Travesas, to the center, they would shovel your jacket, your watch, your sneakers and so on, not to mention the school in Teis. But my generation was fortunate to see from afar the havoc this and other drugs had at one point turned your life upside down. For the rest, I feel lucky to have been born in a cosmopolitan, educated, hip-hop and electronic Vigo full of freedom and opportunity. A few summers we took advantage of the city of Citroën, where I was paid over 200,000 pesetas and they gave you 14,000 pesetas on one Saturday.
