Inés Hernand has always been characterized by her casual way of communicating. Her outbursts, her way of speaking, her humor and her mental speed have placed her as one of the best-known faces of RTVE for a part of society. However, her not having filters sometimes plays tricks on her, and she has not been able to avoid receiving numerous criticisms for the coverage of her on the night of the Goya.
“You are an icon, president, we love you!” was the phrase from the woman from Madrid that turned everything upside down. And it seems that praising the President of the Government from public television has not gone down well with many, who have not hesitated to raise their complaints to the corresponding organizations.
Throughout Hernand’s broadcast on RTVE Play, the lawyer could be seen with her characteristic way of working. Even so, it was not until the politician’s arrival that everything blew up. So much so, that the Interactive Media News Council of the public corporation had to send a statement showing its rejection of what happened.
“As much as we want to give a lighthearted, alternative tone and designed for a youth audience, we believe that any content that carries the RTVE brand must comply with quality and neutrality standards,” said the Council.
Given this, Pedro Sánchez himself has not hesitated to use his social networks to come out in defense of the YouTuber. “Inés Hernand, you are the icon,” he has published on X (Twitter) along with a video compilation of his coverage. A positioning that has garnered more than 22 thousand likes and 4 million views in just a few hours.
And, as expected, it has also generated an avalanche of comments, both negative and positive. “Imagine that RTVE sends you a statement and that the president himself defends you,” said one user.
A show of public support that has left Inés Hernand practically speechless. “I can only say WOW,” she replied. Although the communicator has always been characterized by being strong in the face of criticism and always saying what she wants, it is not surprising that this issue could have affected her in some way.
And it is that she has already been removed, in some way, from her main role at the Benidorm Fest due to similar attitudes. Even so, she is clear that she does not plan to change. “I am dedicated to entertainment and honestly, I am glad to be fulfilling my role,” she expressed on her social networks just after the Goya gala.
It remains to be seen how this whole scandal will affect the communicator’s professional career. Currently, Hernand is presenting I don’t know what you’re talking about, a program that airs on La 1 and that she hosts with Mercedes Milá.
At the same time, he is also responsible for participating in various spaces on RTVE Play, as one of the best-known faces on the public television website. However, and although nothing has been decided yet, all this could pose a problem for the future. Something that is not certain given that his way of working is widely known to the public.
