Inés Hernand responds to criticism for her salary at the 'Benidorm Fest': "If you see badly making labor inequality visible..."

The controversy over the salaries of the RTVE presenters is still more alive than ever. A few days ago the figures charged by each of the presenters of the chain came to light. A revelation that did not go unnoticed in the media or on social networks.

But just a few hours ago it was revealed what the presenters of the Benidorm Fest would have charged, the format in which the future Eurovision representative is chosen. The information made it clear that there had been a big difference between the figure that Inés Hernand would have received and the one that her colleagues, Mónica Naranjo and Rodrigo Vázquez, would have received.

The corporation announced at first that both Mónica Naranjo and Rodrigo Vázquez would have received 50,000 euros. A figure far removed from the 15,000 that Inés Hernand received. But shortly after the transparency portal rectified and clarified that the figure of the real presenter was 25,000 euros. It also detailed that the singer's figure was for presenting and for performing two performances during the contest.

Information that surprised the comedian, since she found out at that very moment and that she wanted to denounce on her social networks. ''Here's this very small, testimonial and symbolic difference of charging €35,000 less than my two fellow presenters at the Benidorm fest, look what a laugh and how good I feel,'' she declared on Twitter. A few words that have caused the presenter to receive all kinds of criticism.

The great wave of comments that the influencer has received since the news broke and she spoke, have caused her to denounce again on her social networks how people have criticized her for denouncing wage inequality. ''I am aware of my privilege. Without going into the amount, if you see badly the visibility of labor inequality for the same performance of functions in more than 40% salary, then the problem is bigger than Benidorm Fes '', she wrote on Twitter.

Ines Hernand was also presenting the first edition of the Benidorm Fest in 2022. At that time, the influencer also charged much less than her colleagues, as Maldita.es revealed. Máximo Huerta and Alaska received 18,000 euros, while the humorist received 7,500 euros. Another surprising fact is that the jury that participated in the edition did not receive any amount of money.
