Yesterday, the national president of Vox, Santiago Abascal, appeared on the RTVE program \"La Revuelta,\" hosted by David Broncano.<\/p>\n

How can you vote for PP and Vox in your province for the Senate in the 2026 general election?<\/a><\/rel>
\nNovember 29: the last chance to prevent Spain from ceasing to be a democracy<\/a><\/rel><\/p>\n

As usual, Broncano displayed the leftist sectarianism that has become standard at RTVE<\/strong>\u2014a state-owned media outlet controlled by Pedro S\u00e1nchez\u2019s government, which has filled its channels with ideologically aligned individuals, including the host of this program. Broncano did not conduct an interview; instead, he acted as a representative of the left in a debate with an opposition leader.<\/strong> Rather than asking questions, he spent his time arguing against the ideas of the party Vox\u2014simply because he dislikes them.<\/p>\n

Once again, RTVE has trampled upon the neutrality it is legally required to uphold,<\/strong> functioning instead as a propaganda arm for the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE). In Broncano\u2019s case, he championed positions clearly rooted in the far-left<\/strong>\u2014such as the demonization of men and private property\u2014as was evident last night (the program is available here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

To be honest, I had serious reservations about watching this show,<\/strong> as I value my time and had no desire to waste it on a program that would only leave me angry due to the sectarianism of both the host and the channel itself. Ultimately, the debate proved to be a disaster for the left,<\/strong> as their representative in the discussion came off looking exceptionally poor. Broncano appeared ill-informed, visibly nervous, and stammered throughout the entire broadcast<\/strong>\u2014so noticeably, in fact, that he ought to see a speech therapist. It is staggering that we, the taxpayers, are funding a program hosted by someone who seems incapable of speaking Spanish in a normal, fluent manner,<\/strong> simply because he happens to champion positions aligned with those of the government.<\/p>\n

In contrast, Santiago Abascal appeared very calm<\/strong>, despite the hostility the show\u2019s host displayed toward him throughout the entire interview. The Vox leader\u2014dialectically speaking\u2014thoroughly dismantled Broncano time and again<\/strong>, even when faced with the thorniest topics the left-wing spokesperson brought up in an attempt to expose him: violence against women, climate change, Vox\u2019s support for Israel, and so on. Abascal proved capable of defending his positions with rigor and firmness in any setting<\/strong>, regardless of the interviewer\u2019s\u2014or, in this case, the interlocutor\u2019s\u2014ideology. Above all, the Vox leader demonstrated good manners and elegance in the face of an disrespectful Broncano<\/strong>\u2014who even accused Abascal of \"lacking guts\" for his stance on Israel\u2014a lack of respect that the Vox president took in stride, responding with courage and without stooping to his opponent\u2019s level.<\/p>\n

Many Vox supporters had serious reservations about Abascal\u2019s appearance on the show<\/strong>, fearing it was a setup and that Broncano would make things very difficult for him. In the end, the program elicited more laughter than anger among Vox supporters<\/strong>, who saw the host come off quite poorly compared to an Abascal who appeared politically mature, consistent, and capable of presenting arguments that far surpassed those of his left-wing counterpart in the debate.<\/p>\n

For Vox, this appearance served as a great opportunity to present their proposals within a hostile environment<\/strong>\u2014a scenario where they had nothing to lose and much to gain. Right now, that conservative party is the only option within Spain\u2019s center-right spectrum capable of attracting voters from the left<\/strong>\u2014voters who, in many cases, have been negatively affected by socialist follies regarding issues such as mass illegal immigration, radical feminism, and the illegal occupation of homes. Broncano lost this debate by a landslide against an Abascal who performed exceptionally well.<\/strong> In La Moncloa and Ferraz\u2014the headquarters of Spanish socialism\u2014they must have been tearing their hair out as they watched the direction the debate was taking. The last thing they needed was for Vox to be scoring goals on RTVE...<\/p>\n
