They say it is a drastic change of record that Ana Pastor has just made in La Sexta. She has inaugurated this 2024 by launching a contest titled ‘Top Generation’. That is, it seems that she has changed her trajectory as a political analyst and interviewer, and she embraces the foam of entertainment. I’m not so sure it’s such a tremendous change. All in all, TV has long since transformed politics into a kind of pyrotechnic distraction.
In this contest Ana Pastor faces creatures of three generations. The oldest ones are called ‘Ye-yé’. The intermediate ones, ‘Cool’. And the most tender ones, ‘Like’. They compete by answering on different topics. It is a very ‘light’ repertoire. What they call ‘television culture’, fundamentally.

Despite the light foam of the questions, there was one notable moment. Was when Ana Pastor gave an interview to Aznar, 1996, that year of the Majestic Pact, in which he spoke of his love for the Catalan language. AND Ana He asked, “What exactly did he say?” Ah! Everyone gave the answer as good: “I speak Catalan in private.” Us at home too. And it turns out that we were all wrong. That “in privacy” thing Aznar He never said it. What she said was: «When I am in small circles, I speak it». He demonstrated at that moment that hoaxes were already rampant three decades ago.
Perhaps this program would be more original if it focused on the constant ‘trompe l’oeil’ of politics. Politicians, in almost 50 years of democracy, have left us endless tasty anecdotes. Memorable moments, from the botched to the ironic. Like the phrases of the priceless deputy and doctor, Agustín Zamarróncalled the Inclan Valley of Congress, specifically the one he launched in 2019 when, looking at the chamber, he blurted out: “As you see, your honors, I am lame, like the rest of Parliament, some disabled and others lame.”. Of course then Ana Pastor The ‘target’ of the contestants should change. Now they are creatures of television fame: Terelu, Bibiana Fernández, Agatha Ruiz de la Prada And your daughter Cosima, Silvia Jato, the former ‘Sewing Masters’ contestant Edu Navarrete… A friendly staff, if you like, but the TV is already usually burning. Since they are not evil, or anything like that, from here I welcome them and wish them luck.
