Jordi Wild has put an end to the controversy with Vox over the cancellation of Santiago Abascal’s interview on The Wild Project. The content creator has said that he has not spoken again with the party about a possible participation by the leader of the group and has denied that the organization asked him to attend at the last minute in order to recover the conversation that was canceled hours before it could take place, as announced by en exclusiva DEMÓCRATA. “Yesterday the matter was already settled and today everything has stayed the same,” he wrote on his X account.
In a post in which he reviewed the situation of the electoral project, Wild explained that the contacts he maintained with Vox during the day were limited to some WhatsApp messages in the morning and at midday, with no relation to a new interview. In this way, he rejected the rumor that pointed to the party having tried to rejoin the series of conversations with the candidates.
The youtuber acknowledged that Abascal’s absence represented a blow to his goal of bringing together four different political profiles and of dialoguing outside of their respective usual circles. “We didn’t manage the full show. Well, then I have to push on, even though for me it was a good kick in the ass,” he said. He also asked that Vox’s president not be insulted and defended that political criticism should not be confused with personal put-downs.
Algunas cosas rápidas antes de ir a dormir, que hoy ha sido un día pesado en general y mañana tengo mucha cosa:

- NO me gusta que se insulte a nadie, Abascal incluido, por supuesto. Por eso mismo, en mis explicaciones he sido lo más comedido y educado posible. La crítica está…
Interviews will be published on Friday, November 13
Wild has confirmed that it will publish all the interviews on Friday, November 13, first thing in the morning, presumably between 8:00 and 9:00 a.m. Before that, as it has explained, it will record the last conversation planned to complete the project. During the week it will also release excerpts from the interviews, which will keep all their context and will not be modified, it has stated.
The content creator has ruled out incorporating another person in an improvised way to replace Abascal. He has explained that the conversations require prior preparation, that he has an external verification team, and that some of its members have expressly traveled to take part in the project. For that reason, he has said there was no longer room to organize a new interview before the publication date.
Wild insists that the interviews were not looking to generate confrontations
In his message, Jordi Wild has also defended the original approach of these conversations. He has assured that his intention was not to promote confrontations or generate hatred, but to bring together four different profiles in the same space to maintain a dialogue outside their comfort zones. The lack of one of the interviews has prevented that goal from being completed, although he has stated that he is satisfied with the material he has managed to record.
The person in charge of The Wild Project has pointed out that once the interviews are published, his intention would be to hold a debate between the candidates, a possibility he has been trying to close for weeks. However, he has acknowledged that negotiations are being complicated and that he still does not know whether he will be able to organize it. As he has written, he perceives "a lot of fear" among political profiles, although he has specified that he does not attribute it to him, but to the general context and to what is at stake in the campaign.
Finally, Jordi Wild has announced that, starting on Friday, he will resume his usual activity and stop focusing on politics. In his post, he recalled that among the recorded conversations is that of the president of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, whom he placed in the same space as other program guests, such as Josebas, the Pequeño Nicolás, and Black Alien.
