“The time has come to stop,” is how Héctor de Miguel, better known as Quequé, began the extensive statement announcing his break from the airwaves. The comedian from Salamanca heads the program Hora Veintipico, on Cadena SER, which he describes as “the best program I have ever done.”
He alleges, in the text he has shared on his social networks, that he needs to take a break. “My body asked for it and my mind hid it, but what happened in the last few hours precipitated a decision that – whoever suffered me knows – had been guessing for a long time.” In this way, in addition to communicating his professional break, he also wanted to address a recent topical issue: his imitation, in said program, of Nacho Abad’s coverage of the Adamuz train accident.
The comedian from Salamanca has apologized first of all to those who might feel offended, although “we focused on making comedy with what was around the misfortune, and anyone who maintains that we disrespected the victims of railway accidents is simply lying.” Likewise, he has assured that “if the parody of the ineffable stung, it was because the dart hit the target.” “It was not our program that showed gruesome images to increase a few tenths of the share and that promotes misinformation and conflict daily based on Manichean debates,” he dropped.
He has also dedicated a few words of gratitude to all his colleagues, both from the radio and from his 25 years of experience. “You made a little boy from Salamanca without education, my godparents, fulfill his dream of working little and getting up as early as possible. I am indebted to you,” he joked.
