After five decades dedicated to the world of communication, the legendary television news presenter has put an end to his professional career this Friday, after retiring at the age of 68. There are many well-known faces who have wanted to express their affection for him, among them, Antonio García Ferreras, presenter of Antena 3.

"Another good person who is no longer on the front line is from the competition, his name is Pedro Piqueras. For almost 20 years, every day on the screen. Yes, in the competition, on Telecinco. From here our tribute and recognition," he began saying Antonio. Ferreras wanted to conclude by referring to Piqueras' future, venturing to say that he is only retiring from television, since he is a person who will always be strictly linked to communication.

The truth is that Piqueras himself recognized how hard it has been for him to take a step back after so many years on television. "I'm very sad to leave it, but it's a decision I made a long time ago, about two years ago. I've been maturing it and after the whole war in Ukraine and various elections, I considered it was time," he said through social networks. of Telecinco News. "I'm going to miss them all a lot, because my life has been television. I've been embedded in the screen since 1988 and I'm a little scared that next Monday is going to happen without an agenda," he said.
