Cristina Pardo: “Los políticos son mis empleados, por eso soy una jueza severa con todos”

Cristina Pardo: “Los políticos son mis empleados, por eso soy una jueza severa con todos”

Cristina Pardo, a 49-year-old journalist from Pamplona, Navarra, has spent 20 years working in television, primarily for La Sexta. Although she now hosts a new program, La mesa, which airs only on Wednesday nights, she jokes about not having come to the studio prepared before. To optimize her time and make a good appearance on camera, Pardo suggests discussing the show from Atresmedia's headquarters, where the editorial offices and studios of La Sexta, her previous network, and Antena 3, her new home, are located.

Pardo initially aspired to become an attorney before choosing a career in journalism, inspired by her admiration for José María García, who she admired for his ability to speak about topics such as football, even if he knew nothing about the sport. Her talent for engaging listeners or viewers, a quality she admired in García, has become one of her strongest points.

After working in radio, Pardo transitioned to television, joining La Sexta, where her style of political commentary as a correspondent for the Popular Party earned her a reputation in shows like Liarla Pardo and Más vale tarde. In this season, she presents La mesa on Antena 3.
