Something that has generated great popularity and respect. However, he has already decided that the time has come to say goodbye to the small screen in order to lead a calmer life at 68 years old.

Even so, and although he will be able to breathe easier, it seems that his retirement is still a long way off.
"I will leave behind many things that I have always fought for, but I will face others that I have not been able to do due to lack of time, such as going to concerts at the Auditorium, going out with friends, sailing or enjoying family," said Pedro Piqueras ago. just a few days.
And on this list of things that you will be able to enjoy from now on is being a university professor. The journalist, who has more than 50 years of professional experience behind him, has decided that it is a good time to accept being a teacher for the students of the Master of Business Administration in Pharmaceutical Industry and Biotechnology, as Semana magazine has revealed.
Piqueras will begin his journey in this new, calmer professional project starting December 13. The presenter is willing to teach his students how to communicate with empathy in classes that will last one hour.
Although it is not the first time he has been a teacher. The journalist became one of Letizia Ortiz's teachers, before becoming the queen of Spain. "I remember that she was a girl who was always willing to go out first for whatever she wanted," said Piqueras. "She was never the girl who arrived last," he added.
And although he still has a few weeks left in the news arena, Pedro Piqueras has already welcomed his replacement. "In December I will leave. Furthermore, Carlos Franganillo is a wonderful journalist. In a way we are similar when it comes to dealing with information. He is younger, has a lot of future ahead of him and is very prepared," he said.
A signing that has surprised everyone, since he has been linked to TVE News for five years. For this reason, he has had to leave his duties on public television from the moment of his announcement. "Having been the face or having shown the face of the work done in this newsroom is an immense honor and I want you to know it," said the presenter in his farewell.
