Although the statement does not cite the content creator, her words refer to the brief meeting that Hernand had with Pedro Sánchez at the event and which had already raised a lot of criticism on social networks for appearing to cheer on the President of the Government.
The presenter asked her about the last movie she had seen and her opinion about
The Snow Society.
“I didn't like it, I loved it,” Sánchez said.
When the politician leaves, Hernand shouts at him: “You are an icon, president, we love you!”, a moment that the communicator herself shared on her social networks and in whose responses you can read both complaints about his behavior and praise for his actions. followers.

"As much as we want to give a casual, alternative tone and designed for a youth audience, we believe that any content that carries the RTVE brand must comply with the quality and neutrality standards included in the RTVE style book and within the framework of the Information Statute,” reads the statement from the RTVE Interactive Media News Council, which has been reposted by the official X account of the RTVE News Council.
And he adds: “Apart from other more than debatable interventions throughout the broadcast (belch, complaints, swear words without context...), it seems to us that the flattering tone towards a President of the Government, whatever the sign, has no meaning. “It has a place in public radio and television, which is for everyone.”
The Council, the text adds, will ask for explanations from those responsible for RTVE Play, where the program was broadcast.
In another tweet, Inés Hernand responded to the statement and the criticism, although without direct mention of the News Council's text.
“I am dedicated to entertainment and, honestly, I am glad to be fulfilling my role,” she said a few hours after the body that ensures free information and independence of the workers in the digital area of RTVE made her position public. .
He addresses the President of the Government, calls him “presi” and ends up shouting “you are an icon, we love you!”
An intolerable antics: it violates a few rules of the Information Statute and the @rtve Style Book.
They are already slow to take action.

It is not the first controversy for a similar reason that Inés Hernand is involved in.
In June 2023, RTVE removed from its digital platform the special that the
Gen Playz
program did to celebrate LGTBI+ pride.
At one point in the broadcast, Hernand assured: “I have to say that the good guys always win.
Although the violence is structural, I have no doubt of the victory of a progressive government in the next general elections.”
A few hours later, the
official account
in
A statement not contemplated in the production company's script could affect its commitment to neutrality despite it being an entertainment program," the statement said.
That broadcast was no longer available on the internet at that time.
In case you haven't seen it.
This was said yesterday in a live RTVE play program on the eve of an election.
