An iconic Candela Peña unleashes Pedro Sánchez's laughter in 'La Revuelta': "Why do you want to continue?"

Pedro Sánchez did not expect his interview on La Revuelta to end with an interrogation by Candela Peña. After more than an hour of conversation with David Broncano about the pending issues of the legislature, the President of the Government received a surprise visit from the actress, who changed the tone of the chat with her spontaneity and direct questions. "You've talked little about ladies," she reproached as soon as she entered, before taking the reins of the conversation.

Wearing a denim outfit that she defined as a tribute to the president's style when he wants to appear approachable, Peña addressed Sánchez with appellations such as "Peter" and "Pedra" and asked him how he endured the pressure of his position. The pandemic, the Ceuta crisis, the blackout, and the volcanic eruption of La Palma were part of her review of the difficulties he has faced during his mandate. "Queer, why do you want to continue?" she asked him, provoking laughter from the president and the audience. The actress even wondered aloud if Sánchez would be a psychopath for continuing to lead the Government after so many complicated situations.

Begoña Gómez also had a prominent role in the encounter. Peña confessed that she thought about her and the renunciations that, in her opinion, many women must face when their partners are subjected to enormous public pressure. In addition, she wanted to know if the president attended therapy and how the wear and tear of politics affected him. Sánchez responded that he meditates and practices sports to relativize problems, and assured that he enjoys his work. The interpreter maintained a lighthearted tone, though without ceasing to raise questions about the personal dimension of political life.

Another highlight came when Peña asked Sánchez if it wasn't too ambitious to aim for 176 seats. The actress began by saying "do you think we're going to achieve it?", before quickly correcting herself: "do you think you're going to achieve it?" The slip caused Broncano to laugh, as he had tried to maintain neutrality during the interview. Upon saying goodbye, Sánchez thanked the actress for the good time and defined her as "one of the best actresses in Spain". An intervention that left some of the most spontaneous moments of the president's visit to La 1.

The actress took advantage of her last intervention to claim the importance of maintaining respect in public debate, especially among politicians, whom she considers role models for society. The actress asked that we all be "a little more educated in life" and compared the confrontations between public representatives with those of parents who yell at each other and don't love each other: "They are not a good reference". Peña warned that, if those who lead the country get used to insulting each other, it is difficult to convey to citizens the importance of treating each other with respect. A reflection with which she put the final touch to her iconic and much-commented intervention, focusing on the responsibility of politicians to set an example also in their ways of relating.
