Soon – there is still no date – Mercedes Milá will return 33 years later to RTVE with the program I don’t know what you’re talking about, in which the journalist will show young people the country we come from through her extensive archive of interviews and At the same time, it will try to understand the country we are in through the testimonies and experiences of young people.
While the public channel decides the release date, this Sunday the journalist and presenter visited María Escario’s program, RTVE’s audience defender, in which Milá once again showed off always answering what she is asked, no matter what. be and think what you think.
It was here where Milá has revealed the whole truth of how he decided to return to the public entity after so long. “Why do you choose to return to the public?” María Escario asked him. “Am I telling you the truth or am I sugarcoating it?” Milá answered. According to her, it was all the fault of José Pablo López, director of General Content at RTVE: “I’m coming back thanks to him.”
“One day she told María Ruiz, my boss at Zanskar Producciones, with whom I have worked at Movistar Plus, that she wanted to meet me,” said the presenter. “We went to eat and he seemed like a guy of such quality that I thought: ‘If he tells me to come back, I’ll come back.'”
“Then Movistar stopped collaborating with me. And here we are. I return for the faith of a person -referring to José Pablo López-, something in which I believe very much,” he assured Escario, praising the work that the Content Director is doing. of RTVE after managing to take La 1 to second position, ahead of Telecinco.
The idea for the program, as Milá explained, arose after a talk with his niece in which she told him that she did not know who Lola Flores was. At that moment the presenter realized that “we must tell young people what has happened to our past years.”
Thus, in each installment of I Don’t Know What You Are Talking About it will deal with a great timeless issue of general interest. In a relaxed tone, Mercedes Milá will interview well-known people related to the topic. On some occasions, it will be people that she already interviewed decades ago, and on other occasions, protagonists who have things to say about the chosen topic, but that she has never interviewed before.
And although the presenter praised the work that José Pablo López is doing and the desire he has to return with this program, she did not hesitate to criticize some of the decisions made on the public channel and that have led the entity to go through “very complicated” moments. “. “Now it seems that things are better, but I don’t come back for that. But it is a philosophy that, if it is fulfilled, is my philosophy,” she said.
“Many times there has been a lack of courage,” he said, referring to “the RTVE authorities” because “they are so attentive to Parliament.” “The most important thing in public television and in all of them is freedom. Luckily I always worked freely, in this company they never censored an interview with me, I didn’t have that problem,” he stated.
“I am a member of RTVE. I started my career here when I was 21 years old. I have been a little unfaithful elsewhere but it has helped me learn a lot and return home with a fairly full backpack,” he confessed with a laugh.
