The day finally arrived. This Thursday, December 21, 2023, Pedro Piqueras put an end to his professional career after five decades dedicated to the world of communication. The Telecinco Informatives presenter retires from the sets at the age of 68, to make way for his well-deserved retirement. This Thursday, after his last appearance as a presenter, Pedro ended up crying uncontrollably in front of the Mediaset España staff, who were waiting for him outside the set to applaud and applaud him.
Pedro Piqueras has put an end to his career, but above all to one of the most important stages in his life, that of being a presenter for Informativos Telecinco. After 17 years in the position, which one day was director of Radio Nacional de España, he said goodbye to his audience this Thursday with some emotional words. “Thank you for allowing me to enter your homes,” he said. “I leave with the best memories of having been with you for so many years. I wish you times of less tension, more justice and more happiness. Good night and goodbye,” expressed the veteran communicator, trying to contain his tears of emotion.
The truth is that Piqueras himself recognized how hard it has been for him to take a step back after so many years on television. “I am very sad to leave it, but it is a decision I made a long time ago, about two years ago. I have been maturing it and after the whole war in Ukraine and various elections, I considered it was time,” he said through social networks. of Telecinco News. “I’m going to miss everyone a lot, because my life has been television. I’ve been embedded in the screen since 1988 and I’m a little scared that next Monday is going to happen without an agenda,” he said.
As Telecinco reports on its website, minutes before starting the program, Piqueras warned his colleagues that he was making an effort not to get emotional. Finally, the inevitable happened after the news. The veteran journalist did not know what was being planned in the corridors of Mediaset, since hundreds of workers were waiting for him in the central corridor of the communication group’s facilities to surprise him.
As soon as he opened the door to the set, Piqueras found a hallway full of people, from his colleagues from Informativos Telecinco to many other colleagues with whom the journalist has shared the road in recent years. With tears in his eyes, unable to speak a word, the journalist greeted, hugged and showed his affection to everyone.
This was witnessed by presenter Alba Lago, who even recorded the events live on Instagram, so that Piqueras’ followers could also witness the emotional moment. The final destination of this hallway of people was the set of the program Let’s See, where a party took place to say goodbye to the presenter in style.
