One is master of his silence and slave to his words. A fist truth. Especially in this age of social media, where no one forgives a change of heart.
Now the journalist Josep Pedrerol, host of El Chiringuito de Jugones, a popular controversy program in Spain, is well aware of this, he was reminded time and time again of his comment, in November 2020, when he said that he would resign if Sergio Ramos he left Real Madrid and Leo Messi left FC Barcelona.
“I made a hyperbole. It’s a linguistic figure that is used to exaggerate something and give more strength to the message. It was exactly that, the feeling that if the best go away, I don’t feel like it. be here, ”he said on the show’s latest broadcast.
The journalist said he had spent a few difficult weeks thinking about what his life would be like outside of the show: “I was worried about you failing, that you felt I didn’t keep my word. That was what hurt me the most, that those that you appreciate me, that you follow us, that you trust us, that you feel that I was deceiving you. This has made me turn everything around a lot, “he commented.
He acknowledged that he was surprised by the result of a survey of the program on what he had to do, in which more than 170,000 people participated and 52.8 percent of users responded that he should resign.
Of course, the impression was not so much as to persuade and that is why the final decision is made: “This has been very worthwhile … The support I have received, the affection, has made me make the decision. you have a lot of mania for me, too. I stay. Until Sunday. “
Of course the reflection on the decision has thousands of comments, most in reference to the lack of word from the communicator. Lesson learned: one owns his silence.
