This Tuesday Ana Terradillos had a very special guest. ‘Critical view’. The presenter had a live interview with Oriol Junqueras, who analyzed the current political scenario and specific issues such as the amnesty law, the ERC’s agreements with PSOE or its relationship with PSOE. Carles Puigdemont.
There was a big surprise at the end of the interview. Junqueras rose from his seat to join the collaborative table they had attended this morning. Esther Palomera, Javier Casqueiro, José Luis Pérez and Esther Esteban.
The ERC president was encouraged to attend the meeting when Terradillos had already fired him. “Sure, this is the live show”the presenter commented before asking his team for a chair for the politician.
“We are improvising”Junqueras said as he placed his chair to Terradillos’ right. “Now you and I will listen to what the audience says, who know a lot and are very interesting,” the journalist told him.
Palomera emphasized Junqueras’ gesture of “courage and political and intellectual honesty”: “Not all the political guests who come to this program want to sit here. Not only that, they also demand not to sit here with the other guests.”
Listening to the collaborators’ evaluations and responding to them all, Terradillos made him an offer: “What if I sign you as a member?” “Maybe I’ll sign up”Junqueras admitted: “I devoted myself to television for several years. Nobody remembers, but for a while I was working as a production assistant in Extremadura.”
