As planned, next Tuesday Luis Ventura, the president of the Association of Argentine Television and Radio Journalists (Aptra)would reveal who are the nominees for the Martin Fierro de Cable in the program hosted by Chiche Gelblung on Crónica TV. The choice was not accidental: every year, the channel that televises the ceremony has the authority to announce the ternados within its programming.
However, this Friday transcended the list and, once once more, the scandal broke out. In the followingnoon, the rumors that indicated that before this new filtration the panelist of in the followingnoon had resigned from his post They began to sound louder and louder. To explain what happened and give details regarding his continuity within the entity, Ventura gave an extensive interview this Saturday on The Run Run of the Show.
Happy for the brand-new victory of Victoriano Arenas, the Ascenso soccer club he directs, and because his youngest son, Antonito, was discharged following being hospitalized for several days due to severe pneumonia, the journalist responded without filter to each of the questions from your interviewers.
From the field of General Lamadrid, Ventura began by explaining how the leak occurred: “I’m not one to wash rags outside. In every group there are postures, debates, people who have different views and positions. Obviously, there was a difference of opinion on some things, ”he began by pointing out. And he continued: “There was a misunderstanding in the communication that had to be corrected. We should have given the channel, Crónica TV, the nomination forms and someone misunderstood. And it is something that somehow bothered those who had the rights to this television. Unfortunately, when it is spread among the partners, who are still journalists and each one works for a media outlet”.
“I want to make it very clear that I have nothing to reproach anyone for. If I discover or identify a betrayal, surely I am not still in that place. What happened was something else. It has to do with a communication issue within any group in which you say ‘this is green’ and someone understands that it is red. On Tuesday I go to an Aptra committee meeting knowing there was no betrayal. That was never in question. I do accept that at some point I argued, because I am passionate and crazy as shit… I am a hypertensive person who lives on pills many times, because the pressure shoots up permanently. Yesterday I think I hit 20 pressure. I went to see Antonito and I was almost hospitalized”revealed.
Regarding the rumor regarding his resignation, Ventura explained: “You know me well. I’m a hot guy; I overflow, I gasp, I say things… And in a back and forth of opinions, of opinions, I am very temperamental… I was alone in my dressing room, I had interaction with some calls and someone might have interpreted something referring to a drastic decision of mine. I keep saying this [que renuncia] all day, when things don’t work out for me. But there was never an introduction. First, because we are on a long holiday, people have gone on vacation for good reason”.
On how he found out regarding that version, he recalled: “When that information comes out and the call box begins to overflow. At first I didn’t know what it was due to until later they began to tell me which version was going around [la de su renuncia a la entidad]. I wanted to know if something had happened that I was unaware of, because all this happens to me when I am a Alex Reed at intruders. I was there the whole program, while the news reached me. Then people called me LAM and I said: ‘Wow! This is getting big!’ There I became really aware of everything that was being mobilized.”
The journalist also revealed what the steps to follow will be: “On Monday I have a meeting with all the people from Crónica with whom I negotiated the transmission of the ceremony, which is on October 20. If all goes well and we stay on track, it’s going to be a great party.”
“Aptra is going to announce next Tuesday on the Chronicle TV screen what the nominations are,” he reinforced. And she shot, mischievously, regarding the possibility that there are differences between the list of nominees that transpired and the final one: “If I don’t do these things, how is Jorge Rial going to fill Monday’s program? Now I’m going to send you other trout lists”.
