Urdangarin: From interview to panel discussion
On Friday morning, some morning shows They were echoing Jordi Basté's interview with Iñaki Urdangarin which had aired the previous night. They simply cited the program title in a small caption, omitting the channel and providing virtually no context for the broadcast.
The first to make reference was Ana Terradillos on Telecinco, in The critical eye: "Following in the footsteps of his former father-in-law, Iñaki Urdangarin breaks his silence"To create expectations, he assured that..."She talks about everything: from her tears in prison to her breakup with Princess CristinaThe headline they highlighted was...having lost one of the loves of his life as a result of his time in prisonHowever, when analyzing the interview a little later, those hopes were dashed. They connected with journalist Juan Luis Galiacho to assess Urdangarin's statements. He warned that the little information Urdangarin had provided was very likely due to a pact of silence in exchange for money related to his divorce from the Infanta. He also asserted that, currently, "Iñaki Urdangarin is a close friend of King Juan Carlos.".
A Public MirrorOn Antena 3, they went with a different headline:My mother and my children know that it is impossible that I had the will to commit a crime"," they emphasized. A statement for which we couldn't get any further context because Basté didn't ask follow-up questions. They also emphasized the loss of the love of his life, referring to the Infanta. This was the big, tearful phrase that was repeated most often the next day. Susanna Griso's program reproduced many phrases, but no excerpts. The fact that the interview was conducted in Catalan and that the former son-in-law of the emeritus king appeared speaking it naturally must have been perceived as an interference that was better left unseen. Filling a screen with pending matters under the heading "What Iñaki didn't talk aboutand a list that included his time as Duke of Palma, the Nóos case, the emeritus king and his scandals, family gatherings in prison, and his new partner. His willingness to earn a living as coach These became clues, suggesting the interview was a strategy to promote his new professional phase.
The following day, Urdangarin was no longer the subject of an interview. The staging of the Sequence plan It became fodder for gossip, a mere narrative device useful for speculation. Pure emptiness that hasn't even managed to humanize him, but rather fill him with more suspicion.
