Well, something very important that
permits us every year to reunite
with Ondas Awards, is to demonstrate
and to belie, the theory
that in the means of communication
practically everything, is said,
to be invented..
The new technologies offer
the possibility to innovate
in technical aspects.
The Ondas that we are going
to be presenting, recognize
that laboring in the Spanish radio.
The award is for a program that began in
the Internet -when Internet wasn´t what
its today-, that because of its interest
it passed to the conventional radio,
it turned into a book, and it still broadcasts
today in diverse mediums,
...including mobile phones.
Ondas Awards for radio innovations
goes to Fernando Berlin and his program
"Heroes of the two bands"
..of radiocable.com
Fernando Berlin claims the award..
It was difficult because radiocable’s team
had to be here and also my
mother and sisters ... Is a situation
a bit dramatic but this is a family
that has always grown a lot
..under difficulties, so I´m
...going to give it my all.
In the year 1939 Virgilio Valle Perez
a seminarist that fought as Franco’s ally
found a box full of files...
It was people from his village that
had passed to the other party,
..the Republican Party.
Virgilio knew that if
he turned it in he could become a hero
but he also knew that meant authentic
death sentences for those people.
So, next to his mother, he decided
to burn those papers in an old carbon kitchen.
Because of this, Virgilio is one of the "Heroes
of the two bands of radiocable.com
and of my book.
Virgilio had the conscience and the capacity
to look history upfront.
And today, I didn’t want to speak of this.
I wanted to tell it because I think
is an important anecdote, but I wanted
to speak of one thing, to point out
something radically different
that I think citizens have the obligation to:
We are living in Spain a complicated moment,
a political process, a process of peace -with ETA-
that is not even political.. A process of peace
that is very complex and I think the citizens
have the obligation to ask our politicians
that they must have the sufficient audacity,
courage and the strength to push that forward.
Because many times, the best vengeance
against the darkness is
to light a candle. Thank you very much.
Congratulations. Projects like Fernando Berlin’s
demonstrate that the radio is..
.. more alive than ever before.
Is more alive because the talent and the good
ideas don’t have an expiration date...
