O Spanish channel RTVE decided to provisionally suspend the launch of the program ‘Supernanny’, a format that has also been controversial in Portugal.
The program was going to air on Spanish television, but, during its presentation to the media, an image did not go unnoticed by viewers.
The father of one child came forward with a tattoo of the Black Sun, a Nazi symbol.
According to La Marca, María Escario, RTVE’s viewer ombudsman, received several complaints pointing out the detail.

“I transmitted in writing to the interim president of the RTVE Corporation, Concepción Cascajosa, my assessment of the content of the program ‘Supernanny’, presented a few days ago and scheduled to be broadcast on TVE”. María Escario highlighted that “in this case, I act both ex officio regarding the request for complaints received via email from the Television Ombudsman, a competence conferred on me by the Statute that governs my functions”.
Therefore, according to the EFE agency, at the Board of Directors meeting this Tuesday, April 23, the decision was taken to stop promoting this format until the situation is studied in depth. Furthermore, according to the same sources, Cascajosa received a letter from Elma Saiz, Minister of Youth and Children.
Tattoos have also caused controversy in Portugal
In Portugal, a father’s tattoos have also caused controversy. In 2019, remember that Nuno Cláudio Cerejeira, known for being a militant of the neo-Nazi cause and one of those convicted of the episodes of racial violence that led to the death of Alcindo Monteiro, was interviewed on the RTP afternoon program – ‘A Nossa Tarde’ conducted by Tânia Ribas de Oliveira.
The interview took place under the pretext that Nuno Cláudio Cerejeira had been supported by the Ronald McDonald Children’s Foundation after being the father of premature triplets.
The presence of the well-known ‘hammerskin’ who has a Celtic cross tattooed on his forehead did not go unnoticed and, in addition to being the subject of public debate on social media, the SOS Racismo association publicly condemned the situation, through a statement.
The public television station has already regretted what happened, asking “sorry to anyone who felt offended”.
