Raúl Alda’s retirement this week is not that of another TVE employee. Editor of Días de cine since 1995 and formerly a member of the Weekly Report team, he is one of the most recognizable voices in the house. One of the announcers who only needs to pronounce three words or do dubbing in an interview with a director or actor who is being interviewed for immediate identification by a colleague. It had the stamp of Raúl Alda. his teaching.
The newsworthy aspect of the case is the “forced” departure from RTVE, as our dear Raúl likes to emphasize. Because of age. A year is not long-lived since we are talking about 65 years. He wants to continue his job. And indeed, it is not strange that he is looking for a place to stay elsewhere, where he can continue to share his experiences. Every person is different among RTVE professionals as well. There were many in Torrespaña who jumped for joy when that famous period of early retirement took place, when workers barely past their fifties could take advantage of it under very advantageous conditions. The same week that tennis expert and sports commentator Nacho Calvo also retired, several of his colleagues encouraged him on social networks, saying that the atmosphere of “at home” was his best. : leave him.
I strongly disagree with these comments and agree with Raúl Alda’s opinion. I believe TVE made a mistake by letting them squander their talents, guillotining them when they reach a year old or have a few years of contribution. Good luck to you, Raúl.
