Henar Álvarez returns to RTVE with a jab at Ayuso's penthouse and her defense of the Sol encampment: "Rights are achieved by bothering people"

Henar Álvarez returned this Tuesday to RTVE with the new season of Al cielo con ella and did so with a monologue in which she did not let pass some of the issues that have marked current events during her absence. Housing, the Puerta del Sol encampment, public aid, labor rights, and the actions of politicians were the protagonists of an intervention full of humor and irony.

After an opening in which she reviewed some of the great faces of television and starred in a musical number, the presenter descended the stairs of her renovated set to address current events. Her first reflection revolved around what is called "class consciousness." Faced with those who told her that this had been lost, Álvarez precisely defended the opposite: "I believe there is a lot of class consciousness. Of high class, of course, of theirs."

At that moment, the comedian took a jab at Isabel Díaz Ayuso when talking about those who believe they have everything and, one day, may be forced to "return the penthouse with views to mom and dad." Álvarez continued criticizing those who, in her view, do not belong to the upper classes but act as if they were part of them. "Who do you want to fool if we know you?" she asked, before comparing that attitude to "when Sergio Ramos put on intellectual glasses."

The presenter linked this reflection to housing and to the way certain public aids are perceived. She asked that benefits that groups such as abused women or migrants may receive stop being called "paguita" (small payment) and ironized about the different treatment that, in her opinion, other aids receive. "Now, if 31 million are injected into Quirón, it turns out to be a subsidy," she pointed out. The comedian finished the comparison ironically: "For the poor, a small payment. A subsidy for my brother."

Housing led Álvarez directly to the Puerta del Sol encampment, to whose participants she wanted to send a message of support. "A hug to all the people who are there fighting for society to have decent housing and to all the people who go and have demonstrated, thank you very much, really," she stated.

She has also responded to those who question that the protests take place in places where they might be annoying. "Don't you know how rights are achieved? By bothering. Or do you think they are achieved by making TikToks?" she ironized. In her speech, the presenter thus defended social mobilization as a tool to conquer rights.

The monologue then addressed another issue related to workers' rights: sick leave. Álvarez was critical of those who boast about never having taken sick leave. "I'm tired of hearing people performing by telling you: 'Well, I've never taken any sick leave'," she said. "Great, Fernando, here's a pin," ironized the comedian, who questioned that working while sick can be presented as something to be proud of. "You've been writing emails while you had cystitis?" she asked with a laugh.

From there, she sent a message to those who disengage from social demands because they believe that certain problems will never affect them. "When the system fails them, even if they constantly fail us, we will be there to defend their rights, of course," she stated.

In the final part of her speech, Henar Álvarez also turned her attention to politicians and demanded that they act. "I also ask politicians to do something once and for all," she said before comparing Congress to a "bonfire of confrontation."

The presenter closed her monologue with a reflection on individualism and the lack of empathy. "There is a lack of humanity, an individualism already," she lamented. And she warned those who believe they will never have to face a complicated situation: "They think that nothing bad will ever happen to them and, honey, it always does."

The closing came in the form of a musical number. Henar Álvarez covered Bad Gyal's Dame, to end her return to Al cielo con ella with a final message that summarized the tone of her entire speech: "What you said is shameful."
