La Séptima has surpassed laSexta in Monday, November 9th's audience, with the interview of Javier Ruiz with Pedro Sánchez as the main protagonist of the day. The new channel achieved a 5.8% average share, six tenths above the 5.2% of the Atresmedia channel.
The conversation with the President of the Government reached a 14.2% screen share and gathered an average of 2,160,000 viewers. More than 3.5 million followed some part of the interview. In the overall broadcast, ‘La Última Hora’ recorded a 10.2% and an average of 1,221,000 viewers.
The interview came after Cuca Gamarra admitted that a PP lawyer met with Koldo García, a meeting that the popular party had denied the previous week. Before Javier Ruiz, Sánchez demanded that Alberto Núñez Feijóo clarify what role his party played in that meeting. Asked about the corruption cases affecting the PSOE, the president replied: "Corruption disgusts me."
The president predicts a "historic mobilization" on November 29th
"We are heading towards a progressive majority," Sánchez maintained when Ruiz raised the possibility of a PP and Vox government. La Séptima's poll attributes 177 seats to both formations, one above the absolute majority, while 40dB.'s survey grants them a wider margin. Sánchez evoked Lula's electoral comeback in Brazil and predicted that the participation on November 29th will surpass that of 2023. "Now the most important thing is to stop the involution," he stated when talking about pensions, labor rights, and equality.
The interview coincided with the agreement between PSOE and PP for the Television Academy to organize a face-to-face debate between Sánchez and Feijóo and a four-way debate, which would also include Santiago Abascal and Ada Colau. The dates are pending. During the conversation, Sánchez also praised Gabriel Rufián's oratorical skills and explained that he always found it difficult for ERC to join a progressive project at the state level.
Sánchez cools down before 'ElConstitucional.es' questions
Pedro Sánchez on Monday downplayed the possibility of an agreement with Alberto Núñez Feijóo to prevent Vox's far-right from entering the government after the 29-N elections. During his interview on La Séptima, Hugo Pereira, director of ElConstitucional.es, asked him if the PSOE and the PP could commit to facilitating the investiture of the most voted candidate. "I believe this debate is already over," the president replied.
Pereira formulated the question "as a journalist, but also as a citizen." The formula he proposed would work both ways. If the PSOE wins the elections, the PP would facilitate Sánchez's investiture. If the popular party comes first, the socialists would do the same with Feijóo. The proposal seeks to prevent Santiago Abascal from entering the central Executive, a shared government formula that PP and Vox already apply in Andalusia, Aragon, Castilla y León, and Extremadura.
"If you want, we can talk about science fiction," Sánchez replied. To explain why he sees such an understanding as improbable, the president pointed to the electoral agreement that the popular party has already closed with Vox for the Senate. "The PP is asking for votes for Vox in Girona, Tarragona, and Gipuzkoa," he stated. Feijóo, for his part, defended on Sunday his intention to govern alone and left the door open to a coalition with Abascal if he needs his votes.
