Numerous Spanish media outlets have sent reporters to Thailand to cover the trial of Daniel Sancho, accused of the premeditated murder of Colombian surgeon Edwin Arrieta. This delegation of journalists seems to have bothered Rodolfo Sancho, the accused’s father. The actor’s anger, in turn, has made Patricia Pardo very uncomfortable, who has been caught by an open microphone in Vamos a Ver.
The trial has generated a media circus in Thailand and new details about the case are being discovered every day. Sancho, who has just starred in a controversial documentary for HBO MAX, has not hidden his frustration at the constant presence of the media: “We’ve already started, what did we agree on this morning? That you would let me pass. My goodness, you literally pushed me “You’re really going to end up knocking me to the ground.”
This reaction has made Pardo explode. “You have to be conclusive,” he was heard saying through the open microphone, a phrase that has quickly gone viral due to its sincerity and has been interpreted as a reflection of his displeasure at the situation that His colleagues are living in Thailand.
In his subsequent intervention, Pardo expressed his opinion openly, showing his dissatisfaction with Rodolfo Sancho’s attitude towards the press and, in general, towards the case involving his son. “Possibly we feel the same or want to do the same to prove our son’s innocence, but saying no means saying it. I have seen the preview of this documentary, it is very interesting, but in my opinion it is a compendium of stoic phrases and a dialectical demonstration of fortitude, serenity and self-control that he then does not put into practice,” he commented.
Furthermore, the Galician journalist has criticized that there is no mutual respect between the media and those involved in the case. “If you are consistent and record a documentary you have to show more respect for the journalists who have been with you from day one,” she declared.
In this sense, the communicator has reflected on the difficulty of reporting in the midst of a mob of journalists, emphasizing the professionalism with which one must act in these cases: “No one intends to push him, no one intends to trip Rodolfo Sancho. “Everyone tries to act and report with professionalism and respect, but it is very complicated when that mob and that cloud of journalists forms.”
The journalist ended her intervention by questioning the communication strategy adopted by Rodolfo Sancho. “Wouldn’t it be much simpler and more practical to promote this familiarity and closeness with the media, since in the end what we all want is for this boy to have a fair trial and not be executed?” She asked herself.
This outburst of sincerity has allowed Pardo to be able to vent completely and without restrictions: “Yes, I have been very comfortable because it makes me very sad. I have been a reporter and I know how my colleagues, María Vicente and Álvaro, are going through. There is no right, really.”
