Santiago Abascal has turned his appearance on La Revuelta into one of the main centers of political conversation on social networks. The leader of Vox went to the program of David Broncano and starred in an interview that has generated reactions due to his statements about feminism, immigration, and gender-based violence. The controversy continued after the broadcast, with messages and responses from different political figures.
One of the moments that caused the most debate was his statement about the "imported machismo", with which Vox’s president linked the problem of machismo with those, according to his words, who do not respect women. The interview also left an exchange with Broncano and a conversation about the program’s audience, which later moved to social networks.
The digital echo of this intervention is already reflected in the ranking of Poder Digital. The leader of Spain’s far right places several publications among those that accumulate the most interactions in the last 30 hours and takes up a large part of the top positions. His message about machismo leads the overall ranking of people, while Vox’s official account also concentrates the most notable publications among the parties.
The message about machismo surpasses 133,000 interactions
The publication with the biggest impact is a video by Abascal on TikTok in which he says: "The main machismo is imported machismo, that of those who do not respect women". The content reaches 133,899 interactions, the result of adding 128,335 likes, 2,046 comments, and 3,518 shares. None of the other publications that appear in the top positions reaches that figure.
The Vox candidate again occupies the third position with another video on TikTok, which records 99,914 interactions. On this occasion, the message focuses on Ceuta: "Ceuta is Spain. Ceuta defends itself". Fourth place corresponds to a publication on Instagram, with 96,207 interactions, in which he thanks the messages of support he received after his visit to La Revuelta.
The conversation about the interview continues in other content. Abascal adds 62,576 interactions on TikTok with a publication about immigration and deportations, and another 62,466 on X with a message of thanks to those who conveyed their support to him after his time on the program. A TikTok video also appears about the behind-the-scenes of his visit, with 57,878 interactions.
Sánchez and Colau
Pedro Sánchez also appears among the most widely shared posts. The President of the Government adds 101,796 interactions on X with a message in which he criticizes threats against comedians and journalists and defends mobilization against regression. His post is thus added to the digital conversation that has accompanied the controversy over Abascal’s interview.
Ada Colau, for her part, reaches 81,531 interactions on Instagram with a post about her own participation in La Revuelta. "I came to have a good time. I don’t know the audience tonight and I’m glad. Many rumors cannot go unanswered and have them be denied at the ballot box," says the candidate of Frente Amplio.
Vox also concentrates the echo in the party ranking
The impact is not limited to the leader’s personal profile. In the ranking of party accounts, Vox holds seven of the eight top visible positions. Its most prominent post reaches 93,864 interactions on Instagram and responds to some statements by Pedro Sánchez: "Sánchez is not going to give us lessons in anything. And much less by cutting videos to manufacture fear."
The second content from the formation adds 86,200 interactions and includes the moment in which Abascal hands Broncano a Ceuta flag. Another message, about the audience ratings of the leader of Vox, reaches 64,861 interactions. The account also shares several fragments and comments about the exchange between Abascal and the presenter during the interview.
The only post from another formation among the eight top visible positions is that of the PSOE of the Community of Madrid, which records 47,090 interactions on TikTok.
