During his meeting with Risto, the journalist had only positive words for Carlos Franganillo, who will replace him as head of ‘Informativos Telecinco’: “I think it was a good choice, I’m very happy”.
“Franganillo and I are two people with a very similar understanding of journalism. I saw in him the type of person I always wanted to happen to me.”Piqueras shared In fact, he himself attended Franganillo’s signing ceremony, as he confirmed: “He was very comfortable at TVE. I cooperated for him to come and I am satisfied.”
Risto pointed out that the former presenter of ‘Telediario’ came to Mediaset at a “not easy time” for the communications group, referring to the audience crisis it was experiencing: “It is a very difficult period and we are all feeling it.” A situation that Piqueras also mentioned: “I noticed the leak of ‘Pasapalabra’ and suffered from it.”
On the other hand, he admitted that retiring made him “a little angry” as Mediaset started to focus more on the ‘Informativos Telecinco’ label: “This CEO, Alessandro Salem, relies heavily on news. He will build a magnificent set. He brought with him news chief Paco Moreno, who is a friend of mine.” But he is confident about his retirement: “I will be 69 in six months. Creating and consolidating an informative project takes time; I would put myself at 72 at this combine.”
“I think it is much more honest to trust and help the person who will replace me, a very good person.”, added Piqueras. He also stated that he would be giving up “a significant salary and a lot of things” with his departure.

Risto Mejide’s meeting with Pedro Piqueras also included political news. Chester’s driver wanted to know his guest’s opinion on the amnesty law and did not hesitate to answer: “Before that, I supported the amnesty bill. Now it doesn’t suit me that this is due to a few votes in favor.”
Speaking in cuatro format, Piqueras said: “I think the amnesty should be decided, perhaps as a generous act of an established government that has good relations with the opposition.” “You have to understand each other. I’m for amnesty in the sense that you have to overcome things to cooperate.”.
