Message from Queen Letizia
“I am coming to your homes for a moment on this special Saturday to make a confession. I feel a great professional and intellectual modesty for addressing you on this day in which public television pays tribute to ‘Informe semanal’ and to those who have written its history. I was only a summer substitute more than 20 years ago and I can only join in congratulating all the professionals who for 50 years have helped us to understand the world,” began the Queen’s message.
Letizia not only wanted to talk about her personal side, assuring that “we all wanted to be reporters of ‘Informe semanal’. I didn’t make it, but at 50 years old, ‘Informe semanal’ is part of my life”.
He also made an emotional contribution by saying:
“I was a girl from Asturias and on the screen appeared another girl my age. Her name was Omayra and, trapped in the mud after the eruption of the Nevado del Ruiz volcano in Colombia, she spoke with shocking lucidity. That report allowed me to discover the value of serious and rigorous journalism”.
