“Welcome to Horizonthanks for share this space of freedom“, he began by saying Iker Jimenez at the beginning of last Thursday’s program, with the cup in his hand and raising it in the air, victorious. Despite all the controversies in which it has been involved as a result of the DANA and that have even caused the ING advertising withdrawalthe presenter has risen above all of this, he has made it clear that has the support of Mediaset and he thanked his “millennial army”, whom he described as “an army of light”.
After admitting that his program has “been in the spotlight” as a result of the hoaxes about the parking lot at the Bonaire shopping center, but without directly referring to them or denying them, he wanted to end “this chapter” before defending that his program “was clean of dust and straw“, and after mentioning the video of a chronology of the events made by a colleague on his team, editor of Fourth Millenniumand which has 6 million views on the X network.
“Many people have called this house asking if Iker was going to continue or not“, Jiménez began explaining, before addressing directly to Alessandro SalemCEO of Mediaset, who has had his head on a platter, and has made it clear that he has his support.
“From the first moment he told me on the phone, while I was in Valencia: ‘Iker, I’m with you’. Do you know what’s important? That he did not have the video, nor the data, nor did he know… That is important. Managers are not just fearful people, as are other areas of communication, there are some with guts. They told me ‘Don’t worry, I know what you are like.’ Because I was amazed at what was coming,” he commented.
The presenter has thus dedicated the first minutes of the program to defending what he has considered a campaign against him. “They know perfectly well what has happened. What has happened and no one expected? That you, friends, of all conditions, races, cultures, ideology… The network, the people, have said ‘no, not here’. Maybe because you knew that it was not the case of Iker Jiménez and my freedom. Because we are not talking about my freedom, We talk about freedom in general, and here, no“, he expressed.
“To those of you who cancel. To those of you who have taken the networks as a battlefield. To those of you who intimidate companies. To those of you who know that many are fearful and are going to lower their ears… okay. Because we believe in freedom. Because we are tired of machinations. Because you are always the same,” Iker Jiménez said about those who attack him.
In the face of these attacks, he said, “a unique phenomenon” has emerged, a wave of support to which he wanted to thank. “The nice thing has been the supportwhich is not part of an order of mine. Headlines, headlines, headlines… very clear maneuvers, you have seen it: we are going to suffocate this guy in another way, since we can’t, because he has flats,” the presenter indicated.
Regarding hoaxes, Jiménez ironically stated that “now they are getting the slogan that everything is hoax.” “I’m not going to ask for anyone’s heads. Most of the media outlets that have tried to take my head off today have bought into the helicopter hoax. “It’s a mistake, nothing happens,” he added shortly after.
Despite all this, the driver of Horizon He wanted to give his opinion on what he called the “army of light” that has come to his defense. “This has been a movement of lovenot to me, not to us, but to that They do not want there to be maneuvers to silence certain programs or certain communicators. Having said that, I send a hug to everyone, even those who have hit us the most, which I don’t care about. And furthermore, we have been fortunate that this group, I repeat, it is not easy, that a cascade of events was sought. Everything has a reason. Everything is a tool. Since you resist, they come back with another tool. And in this house, which will do things right and things wrong like anyone else, they told me: ‘I am with you.’ But not today, nor tomorrow, at first. And they have fulfilled it. With which, I feel indebted. People of honor, period“, he concluded before giving the floor to Carmen Porter.
