Among MAR’s Miguel Ángel Rodríguez’s threats against eldiario.es and the journalist Esther Palomera, In that storm of fear that most channels present to us on their screens (“We will crush you. You will have to close down. To hell with you. Idiots.”), I would like to highlight the journalist’s brushstroke in his work ‘Al Rojo Vivo’ (La Sexta). Ignacio School.

He remembered his other scares SEA they are part of black television history. Turning to the years 1996-1997, he said: “I remember when Mar threatened to put Antonio Asensio in jail. He didn’t go to jail because he had to sell Antena 3 Television after pressure from the PP.” Timely reminder. For this reason SEA He served as Minister of Foreign Affairs for Communications and Government Spokesperson. Commanded more than any minister Aznar, including vice presidents. The Aznar government was not interested in the line it supported. Asensio Pizarro on your chain. AND SEA This was a scary vehicle. Years later, in October 2010, I had the opportunity to talk about this issue. SEA When Barcelona agreed to come to ‘Telemonegal’ on Televisió. I said to him in an approving tone: “You called Asensio and told him: ‘Either you sell to whomever we tell, or you’re a dead businessman.’”.

he smiled SEA. He did not deny it. In fact, as the French say, it was ‘charming’. In a short distance and whenever you want, SEA He is extremely friendly and attractive. But he explained: “It wasn’t exactly like that. But when you’re in the position of Secretary of State for Communications, you have to make decisions.” Sorry to quote my program ‘Telemonegal’, but I think it’s relevant: it was the first and I think the only opportunity. SEA He talked about this issue on television. After this scare asensio He had to sell his chain. Buyer chooses Aznar This was his friend at the table. Juan Villalonga, then president of Telefónica. When Amtena got hold of 3, the first thing he did was turn it into a propaganda machine for the Government.

Today, these intimidations and threats are part of an ancient and difficult path. The advantage of those who make threats is that they have an arrogant official position. In this case, they pierced the bone. Fortunately, those who are called ‘oppressed’ do not allow themselves to be oppressed.
