The Ecuadorian journalist Alfonso Espinosa de los Monteros shared with his audience today That, after 56 years of continuous work, has made the decision to retire from television, although he specified that today It wouldn’t be the last time we see him on screen.

As part of the announcement, the presenter first of all wanted to thank his family. “He has always been close to me and has encouraged me through thick and thin.”

He then expressed his gratitude to Canal del Cerro executives, especially Javier Alvardo Roca, whom he described as an example of work and dedication and with whom he started, he said, the great path that has now been traveled. “I am retreating ecuavisa at the best time of my work and personal relationships”.

Likewise, Don Alfonso let the News team and “all the colleagues who make it great ecuavisa”.

“And a huge ‘thank you’ from the bottom of my heart to this loyal audience who have accompanied me for generations, who have always supported me and who have always shown me their love.”

His final farewell will be next Monday, May 1, when he broadcasts what will be his last great newscast. “For now, an awaited ‘Thank you,’ and forever.”
