The president of Vox, Santiago Abascal, stated this Tuesday that the presenter David Broncano "had a bad time" during the interview he conducted with him on La Revuelta, on TVE (Televisión Española), due to the "unacceptable pressure" that, in his opinion, the left exerted.
In an interview on Cadena COPE, reported by Europa Press, Abascal maintained that the comedian "was forced" to state his political position, with the phrase "we reds also love Spain," to "justify" the interview he conducted with him on the public channel.
"He was worried, but not because he feared me. He was worried out of fear of his own, because he had received a lot of pressure and they must have insisted that he was going to whitewash fascism," said the leader of Vox, who pointed to the "governing left" as responsible for that "pressure."
"More a debate than an interview"
Santiago Abascal also denounced that the left "is very cruel to its own" and "does not forgive them for not hitting the mark with a stone," while emphasizing that the encounter on La Revuelta was more "a debate than an interview."
"From the perspective of some leftists, it would be unsatisfactory because Broncano perhaps didn't tell me everything they thought he should tell me or didn't put me in my place," stressed the president of Vox, who acknowledged the "tension" in the atmosphere and added that it was "difficult to develop a slightly more constructive dialogue."
Despite this, Abascal defended that, "despite the difficulties of the format," he was able to "explain" to "millions of people" issues that he "normally" does not have the opportunity to talk about.
