The British public television channel BBC has announced that the former soccer player Gary Lineker will present his program ‘Match of the Day’ again this weekend after temporarily removing him for criticizing the government’s new migration policy on Twitter, although he has announced a review of the guide that regulates the use of social networks for employees.

“I’m glad we found a way out. I support this review and I am looking forward to returning,” said Lineker, who last week called the reform promoted by the Rishi Sunak Executive “cruel”, adding that the language “is not far from that used by Germany in the 1930s”.

After the controversy generated by his temporary dismissal, the director general of the BBC, Tim Davie, has acknowledged in a statement that It’s been a “difficult period” for all workers and spectators and has assumed that the guide that the chain has applied since 2020 on social networks may have “grey areas” that lead to “confusion”.

For this reason, an independent expert will be in charge of reviewing the text, although Lineker will be able to recover his position, as the best paid presenter of the BBC, starting next Saturday. “Gary is a valuable part of the BBC and I know how much the BBC means to Gary“, the director pointed out.

Davie has also acknowledged in his note the importance of “fairness”both for the chain itself and for the audience, so he hopes to find a balance between this commitment and other issues such as the right of citizens to receive different types of opinions or mere “freedom of expression”.
