RTVE has scheduled a debate with eight parliamentary spokespersons for November 23, an event that will take place at 10:00 PM and that the corporation will broadcast on La 1, Canal 24 horas, Radio 5, RTVE.es, and RTVE Play.
The meeting, moderated by Xavier Fortes, will feature Ester Muñoz, Patxi López, Pepa Millán, Emilio Delgado, Gabriel Rufián, Oskar Matute, Maribel Vaquero, and Miriam Nogueras. RTVE will also freely provide its institutional signal to media and organizations that request it.
Junts rectifies its initial position and Podemos is left out of the call
Junts per Catalunya, which initially appeared as a refusal to participate, later stated that there was a "misunderstanding": the confirmation of their attendance arrived after the deadline, although their intention was to intervene in the debate. The rectification corrects the first version disseminated, but does not change the format or the final list of guests.
The most striking absence is that of Podemos, which is not among the summoned formations despite running in the general elections on 29N and being part of the political offer of the left. Frente Amplio will have representation at the table through Emilio Delgado.
The campaign seeks young voters outside the traditional debate
RTVE's call comes at a time when the main leaders have intensified their presence in new formats to try to connect with younger voters. The pre-campaign has shifted towards video podcasts and entertainment programs, a strategy that was much less common just a few years ago.
In recent weeks, Pedro Sánchez, Santiago Abascal, Ada Colau, Gabriel Rufián, and Irene Montero have appeared on TVE shows such as La revuelta and El perro andaluz, while Alberto Núñez Feijóo has been interviewed on programs such as El hormiguero and Horizonte.
This Friday, in addition, YouTuber Jordi Wild published the interviews he recorded with Sánchez, Feijóo, and Colau, after Abascal canceled his at the last minute. The debate on the 23rd will thus be the next big step in the television campaign, although the battle for audience will remain open outside the usual political channels.
