Almost a year after his departure, Pedro Piqueras returned this Monday to the set of Informativos Telecinco to analyze all the effects of the DANA in Spain.
The veteran journalist explained his point of view on the performance of politicians and expressed his opinion about the altercations between the affected people and the kings of Spain, Pedro Sánchez and Carlos Mazón..
“I was out of Spain until I came here yesterday, saw the image and it was the first thing I came across on television. I thought, ‘What’s going on? It’s like they’ve changed my country“, the communicator acknowledged.
“Seeing the queen with a bit of mud on her face, seeing the king trying to give explanations that he was not allowed to at first, then he hugged someone…. All that made me think that we are in one of the hardest moments I have witnessed in Spanish democracy.“, he said sincerely.
“A great distrust is perceived among the institutions.. Between the autonomous towards the central government, and from the central government towards the autonomous. In the end, blaming each other is not the best thing to do…”, he analyzed.
For him, this visit “should not have been made”.. “Neither the president of the Generalitat nor the president of the Government nor the King and Queen of Spain have thrown the water. We must have the calm to think, to be with the citizens. If I had lost my house, if I had lost a family member and I see how my people are, I would be very upset and very angry…. But if on top of that someone comes and upsets you when you are in a state of nerves…”.
