When the bomb exploded last Thursday David Broncano It has been announced that it cannot be broadcast rebellion Because a veto The Anthill It prevents viewers from watching a recorded interview with motorcycle racer George Martin. It only took a few seconds for his words to go viral, though since then The Anthill The government responded with a statement saying it was a misunderstanding, as it now was Pablo Motos spoke for the first time to give further details of the clash which marked a turning point.

After this initial joke, he addressed the issue: “There are a lot of people who are waiting for this. I never wanted to get into any controversy, but I have no choice but to defend myself from the attacks that have been made. The team and me. , throughout the program.” So he did it. After interviews with Kira Miró and Salva Reina, who visited the set to talk about the film Who is who?And at the end of the gathering he spoke on the most anticipated topic.

“First of all, I want to apologize to the entire audience. Because of what is happening in this country, I feel a little hesitant to conduct an interview, but the truth has to be brought back. A lot has happened. Said about this topic, maybe too much, but There are interests and smokescreens that no one can control, there is so much talk about El Hormiguero, sometimes it seems brutal.
I guess it’s a show that has been watched for so many years that leads to a lot of exposure to good and bad things. I’ve always assumed that and I’ve always tried to avoid controversy, even when other competitive programs constantly make bad taste attacks against me, often under the guise of humor when they’re actually attacks. And I tolerate it. I have no problem, but I cannot allow El Hormiguero to question the work of the team and imply things that are not true.
What happened to the famous interview with MotoGP World Champion George Martin? Well, I’ll tell you. At El Hormiguero, as we have been doing for 19 years, we plan guests in advance because it allows us to better prepare the interviews and offer you the best possible program every day. About a month ago on October 29th we had a closed and consensual interview with George. We have a promise from his team that he will give the first interview if he is declared champion and if not, he will give it to El Hormiguero.
© ElantigueroThat was the promise and we demanded it because it is very serious for us to offer you the best program every day. The agreed date for the interview was Wednesday, November 27, as it would be, but last Thursday the 21st we were surprised to see a video that said he was going to La Revulta. So we did what any professional would do, which is call their team and ask them what happened. They explain to us that there is a lack of coordination among those who have George’s agenda, and the solution they determine is that George will record the interview and not broadcast it before sleeping here.
So George did the interview last Thursday. Yes, it was recorded, although it was hidden and became known the next day thanks to the independent media that denied the initial version and the audience and journalists who were on the recording of the program.
I will not give here this explanation of something that happens every day in newspapers, magazines, radio and television programs Things would not have been said as they seem to be, and if there were no doubts about the professionalism of our team. And even less so if that garbled version is broadcast on public television.
A television that all citizens pay for with our taxes. A public television that assumes it is one of the three most important things that happened in Spain and in the world that day. I’m not exaggerating. In other words, what was a mere misunderstanding with a guest became a major news story, occupying minute-by-minute coverage of almost all information and current affairs programs on public television that same night and throughout the day. following
Honestly, I believe there are more important news that affect citizens much more. And if they believed it had such significance, then the logical thing would have been to tell the other party involved, which is us. The Spanish media has been done by the majority, for which I am grateful. It is very surprising that no one from Spanish television has called us or Atresmedia. This journalistic abuse is more common for misinformation than for a public television that abdicates the first responsibility of journalism, which is contrary to facts. Because of this, the entire program team and I find it hard to believe that there are no other interests behind this completely distorted version of what happened.
It is very normal for guests to fall off the agenda in any programme. And therein lies the skill of a good team to find a way to pull it off gracefully. It has been ours. It happened that someone had dedicated himself to this. And what I regret is that someone has turned such an issue into a state issue.
Thanks, however, to Hugh Grant and everyone who watched us on Thursday as we were the most watched program of the day in all hours.”
Interview with George Martin after the debate
Jorge Martin will be present on the set The Anthill And his interview generated great expectations. The reason? A week later would become the unwitting hero of the debate. For now, the MotoGP world champion remained on the sidelines and limited himself by saying: “Thanks to all the La Revuelta team and the public. It was a great night. I’ll be back soon and we’ll share it with the entire audience.”
From the agency that represents them, they clarified the problem caused by the appearance of the pilot on TVE Space, which has just won an Ondus Award for the best entertainment program: “Given the events that happened last night at La Revulta, we want, part of the Playmaker Agency team, primarily El Hormiguero before them in La Apologies for not reporting the intent of seeing Revulta, an act that triggered the entire event. We respect all forms of feedback and we only “I want to allow George to freely enjoy his moment with the fans and the media. Life is for sharing and it is George’s wish to be able to share his moment with all of you and enjoy it together.”
