translated from Spanish: Don Francisco will animate from his home the Telethon, which will have no goal

There have been few obstacles that the Teleton 2020 has had to overcome, which is strictly the one that had to be carried out in November last year and that had to be postponed by the social crisis. Now it is the coronavirus that has put the campaign in check, which adapts to the complex current circumstances, will be held this Friday and Saturday. Appealing to technology, and the now usual telework television, the campaign will be carried out, led, as always since 1978, by Mario Kreutzberger, Don Francisco, who will encourage her from his home in Santiago, where he is, like many, isolated to avoid contagion with Covid-19.Next to him, the main faces of open television will join the campaign – which this time will last less than the usual 27 hours – via streaming, although some of them will be face-to-face at the Teleton Theatre, which already is enabled for transmission. Another difference that the Telethon 2020 will have because of the complicated circumstances facing the country and the whole world, is that it will not seek to exceed more than $32 billion of the last edition. Since the foundation they confirmed that this year there will be no goal. Don Francisco himself explained to Emol yesterday that “we want to address the people who can, because we know that there is a percentage of our population that on this occasion will not be able to collaborate much”.
