Television presenter Patricia Pardo admits she was caught completely off guard by unexpected schedule changes at Telecinco this season, elmundo.es reported.
The galician journalist learned of the modifications after the television season had already started. She currently anchors the current affairs program Vamos a ver, broadcast Monday through Friday at 1:45 PM.
The show operates as Telecinco’s fourth morning information offering, competing directly against established rivals like Antena 3’s La ruleta de la suerte. Pardo acknowledges the intense pressure of minutely tracked audience metrics in this slot.
Somos muy minuciosos y vemos el minuto a minuto, los temas que funcionan mejor y los que funcionan peor,
Pardo stated, according to elmundo.es. She emphasizes that maintaining her team and current role outweighs the sudden shifts in the network lineup.
Transitioning from strict political reporting to a broader mix of social issues and entertainment has offered Pardo new flexibility. She describes herself as a versatile journalist comfortable across multiple formats.
However, she notes that reporting on politics in Spain has grown increasingly difficult amid high public polarization. Hay días en los que unos me consideran demasiado conservadora y otros me consideran demasiado progresista,
she remarked, as reported by elmundo.es.
Pardo views Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez as a highly capable political strategist. She anticipated an early election call given the judicial and political pressures surrounding the government.
Si algo ha demostrado Pedro Sánchez es que es un gran estratega político,
she declared, according to elmundo.es. She believes that moving election dates forward served as a strategic pause that Sánchez maneuvered to his advantage.
Beyond her broadcast career, Pardo maintains her Catholic faith openly despite potential public criticism. Lo primero que hago cada mañana es rezar,
she explains, as reported by elmundo.es. Yo rezo porque quiero. Creo en Dios porque quiero. Y del mismo modo, jamás obligaría a nadie a creer,
she stated.
Pardo, who alongside her husband, Christian Gálvez, previously presented an event during the Pope’s visit to Madrid, confesses that the news of the Pope’s illness hit her very hard, describing the confirmed diagnosis as a truly cold shower.
She also spoke about her husband, Christian Gálvez, praising his romantic nature and his professional skill after watching him present Pasapalabra in English in Los Angeles, alongside an experience they shared together last summer that she remembers with special fondness. While she currently focuses on maintaining Vamos a ver, Pardo leaves open the possibility of hosting a game show format in the future.
