Television professionals recall the figure of Adolfo Su rez Jes s Hermida, Manuel Campo Vidal, Pedro Erquicia, Rosa Mar a Mateo y Fernando nega destacan su figura y su v nculo con la televisi n.
Tras conocer la noticia del fallecimiento del primer presidente de la democracia, el mundo de la televisi n tambi n ha querido recordar la figura. Adolfo Su rez fue nombrado primer miembro de honor de la Academia de las Ciencias y las Artes de Televisi n de Espa a el 20 de junio de 1997 por su especial vinculaci n a la televisi n y su defensa de la libertad . Su rez record entonces, en un acto celebrado en el Hotel Ritz, su labor en Televisi n Espa ola como la etapa m s bonita de mi vida y afirm que en la vida democr tica nadie est en posesi n de la verdad .
Jes s Hermida, fundador y primer presidente de la Academia, recuerda hoy especialmente aquel acto de presentaci n de la Academia de Televisi n: Todos los que participamos en aquella fundaci n estuvimos de acuerdo en que para el bautizo oficial necesit bamos un padrino no solo notable sino significativo. Y ese tendr a que ser Don Adolfo Su rez, que acept presidir el acto y nos anim a que entre todos hici semos la mejor televisi n posible para beneficio de la sociedad . Hermida tambi n ha destacado su especial v nculo con este medio: Como director de TVE le recuerdo ambicioso por triunfar, resolutivo y din mico. Ya como director general de RTVE, tom iniciativas valientes en la corriente general de su tiempo, pensando siempre en aquello en lo que cre a y que se sent a obligado a defender .
El actual presidente de la Academia de Televisi n, Manuel Campo Vidal, ha querido destacar que Su rez ha sido un personaje excepcional que pilot la Transici n espa ola y que entendi como pocos el poder de la televisi n. Su alianza con la comunicaci n, su capacidad de seducci n y su valent a personal fueron determinantes para avanzar en el dif cil proceso que consigui llevar a Espa a de la dictadura a la democracia. Creo que nuestro pa s le debe un homenaje y yo invitar a a los alcaldes a que pongan una calle con su nombre explicando a los j venes los valores de convivencia y concordia que encarn Adolfo Su rez .
El acad mico y periodista Pedro Erquicia ha recordado sus comienzos televisivos en el a o 1965: l como director de Programas en Prado del Rey, yo, estudiante de periodismo, como becario en los Informativos de Paseo de la Habana. Rezumaba ganas de bal n, de pelea. Esas ganas de vida que le han permitido resumir sus d as en silencio. Volvimos a coincidir en 1973 cuando era director general de RTVE y nac a Informe Semanal en el ltimo s bado de marzo de aquel a o. En los 43 meses que desempe el cargo impuls nuevas formas de hacer televisi n e incorpor al medio, que solo llevaba diecis is a os de andadura, a nuevos profesionales .
La ltima vez que lo vi fue en la boda de un amigo com n antes de que la enfermedad degenerativa empezara a hacer su labor devastadora. Era el Adolfo cuya imagen se hab a proyectado en todo el pa s, el pol tico que logr que fu ramos a votar libremente despu s de 40 a os de inanici n democr tica se ala.
Por su parte, la periodista Rosa Mar a Mateo ha destacado que en su etapa de TVE caus sensaci n entre las mujeres de la redacci n por su atractivo. Despu s, a todos nos sorprendi en aquella poca que alguien tan joven fuese nombrado Presidente del Gobierno. Sin duda, fue un personaje carism tico, en la distancia corta y larga, y gracias a l pudimos tener una transici n tranquila hacia la democracia. Solo por eso, los espa oles le debemos un agradecimiento eterno .
Para el acad mico y periodista Fernando nega fue el hombre adecuado para un momento trascendental de Espa a. Consigui lo que quer a: sustituir un r gimen dictatorial por una democracia. Y lo hizo en un tiempo r cord y con salvaguarda de la paz civil, que era su obsesi n. Su gran m rito hist rico es haber hecho una revoluci n que termin , por primera vez en la historia, sin vencedores ni vencidos .
La Academia de Televisi n se ha sumado al dolor y la tristeza por la p rdida de una persona clave para la Historia de Espa a enviando un c lido y afectuoso mensaje de cari o a todos sus familiares y amigos.
Su rez, protagonista de la Transici n Natural de Cebreros ( vila). Estudi la carrera de Derecho en la Universidad Complutense de Madrid, ocupando diversos cargos en la Administraci n del Estado tras su licenciatura. Fue director del Ente Radiotelevisi n Espa ola entre 1969 y 1973, una de las pocas doradas del medio en Espa a. Protagonista indiscutible de la Transici n democr tica espa ola, fue nombrado presidente del Gobierno en 1976 a propuesta del Rey Don Juan Carlos. En 1982 abandon UCD, creando un nuevo grupo pol tico, Centro Democr tico y Social, con el que obtuvo el acta de diputado en 1982 y 1986.
En septiembre de 1996 le fue otorgado el premio Pr ncipe de Asturias a la Concordia, por unanimidad de los 18 miembros del jurado y como reconocimiento a su labor pol tica durante la transici n espa ola, valor ndose tambi n as su importante aportaci n personal a la convivencia democr tica en Espa a. El Consejo de Ministros aprob en junio de 2007 un real decreto por el que el Jefe del Estado otorg el Collar de la insigne Orden del Tois n de Oro a Adolfo Su rez, en coincidencia con la celebraci n, el 15 de junio de 2007, del 30 aniversario de las primeras elecciones democr ticas tras la dictadura franquista.
