Happy with his new home, 32-year-old Laurence Ortigau does not hide what made him turn his back on TVI and accept Daniel Oliveira’s invitation to join the SIC family. He guarantees that he has always shown his dissatisfaction with the administration of the Queluz de Baixu station and that he has a “clear conscience” for not leaving the channel suddenly.
“I know I didn’t take anyone by surprise, because alone with who I was entitled to, I could always express what I felt. This is what makes me have the clear conscience and lightness that I have today. I was unable to disrespect TVI and those who work there, strike at the vanguard, change direction and take everyone by surprise. would never do that“, – he explained in an interview with the newspaper” Nascer do Sol “.
Throughout the interview, Lawrence Ortigau always makes it clear that his decision has nothing to do with the TVI administration. However, he admits that he did not identify with the management, namely Cristina Ferreira, in charge of entertainment and fiction, thereby confirming the news presented by TV Guia on 20 May.
“I don’t deny that TVI’s management didn’t fascinate me either.… And again, not the administration, but the direction. In any case, this does not bother me at all, the options that are chosen are those that should be accepted, and I respect the people who take their positions. “
However, Lawrence guarantees that she will not wash dirty clothes in the town square, deciding to go his own way without wars. “I have never criticized the choice of a director with all my might, and I will never do that, especially in a public square, I will not speak badly about someone who worked with me or did not even work.… What I had to say internally I said, and that leaves me with a clear conscience. I went and thought it was time to leave. “
