Wednesday afternoon on Cuatro was marked by a heated exchange of statements when Irene Montero, a guest on Todo es Mentira, strongly criticized Ana Rosa Quintana. This caught the attention of the collaborators. Ana Rosa Quintana was forced to pause TardeAR to respond to Irene's accusations and confess that: "you're a lady who hates businesspeople."
Irene appeared on her show to address the two lawsuits filed against her by Daniel Esteve, leader of Desokupa. However, her intervention soon turned into a direct attack. The minister stated that "there are ladies like Ana Rosa Quintana, who has a real estate business, and they bring these people to their show to legitimize these neo-Nazi gangs."

Risto Mejide, the host of the show, tried to moderate the situation. For "camaraderie," as he himself explained, he asked Montero to avoid attacks on other programs of the network. "The day you have Ana Rosa Quintana in front of you on Todo es Mentira, you tell her whatever you want to her face, but you tell her," Mejide urged.
Ana Rosa Quintana Pauses TardeAR
Just 24 hours after this tense episode, Ana Rosa Quintana decided to speak out. From the start of her program TardeAR, the host took the floor and connected live with Risto Mejide. Risto, true to his style, offered Ana Rosa Quintana the right to reply.
Ana Rosa didn't miss the opportunity to respond forcefully. "I'm not going to get into a controversy with this lady either," she began by saying.

With a firm tone, she recalled: "This lady has been saying similar things for many years. She has been on your show two or three times, and she has always used that platform as if it were the Congress of Deputies."
The host also criticized Montero for relying on her status as a member of parliament to make those statements. "Who is this lady to take advantage of her parliamentary privilege and say whatever she wants on a prime-time show? We're not on equal footing," she concluded.

Ana Rosa didn't shy away from the references to her business side, acknowledging that, in addition to running a production company, she has a rental real estate business. "I have these things because I've earned them. Just like you've earned having your advertising company, like any businessperson in this country who pays taxes," she added, addressing Risto Mejide.

Ana Rosa also addressed the issue of squatting, one of the main points of Montero's criticism. The host denounced that many people are afraid to rent out their properties because of this problem.
"There are people who bought an apartment with their work to supplement their pension, and they can't rent it out for fear of squatting. And this lady is responsible for that," she concluded, in a clear reference to Irene Montero.
Ana Rosa's intervention not only made her stance clear but also marked a milestone in defending her work and that of businesspeople in Spain. Meanwhile, the clash between the two figures continues to generate debate on social media and in current affairs programs.
