Johan Derksen thinks it is a missed opportunity that Humberto Tan did not intervene harder when Ronald de Boer announced Qatar propaganda at his talk show table. “It’s the kind uncle.”
Ronald de Boer caused enormous anger among viewers the day before yesterday by downplaying the number of deaths during the construction of World Cup football stadiums in Qatar at Humberto Tan’s talk show table. The fallen football hero was not exactly critically questioned by his host; it was all very polite.
friendly uncle
Very unfortunate, says Johan Derksen. He says in Today Inside: “Humberto is the kind uncle. It doesn’t get any further than a very careful question. If the presenter can’t handle such a discussion, put someone from Amnesty at the table who can hit him left and right with that rambling of his.”
According to Johan, it is obvious that Ronald was speaking nonsense. “A normal person cannot withstand such stupidity. This man lived there for seven years and for seven years he never noticed that there was anything wrong with human rights there. He also has not looked at an Amnesty International site for seven years, of: what could be going on here?”
brown life
Ronald has enjoyed the rich life in Qatar, without worrying about the appalling living conditions of migrants. “He was in a compound with only millionaires. Of course he had a brown life there, drove big cars and had a great time.”
Now Ronald is filling his pockets as a Qatar ambassador. “And now he’s got the audacity… Now that the whole world is taking all Amnesty reports very seriously, serious newspapers are publishing about them, he says, ‘Yeah, everyone can say something.’ For money he has to straighten what is crooked.”
TV exit
Johan argues for a complete TV retreat from Ronald. “I think it’s really good that ESPN kicked him out and that Ziggo took him, I think it’s an insult to the viewers of Ziggo.”
“You can’t have someone who does the PR of a country that shamefully violates human rights as a figurehead at the table? That he can vomit all that nonsense out?”
