A hug between Irene Montero and the singer Metrika has become the publication by a Spanish politician with the most interactions of the last few hours. The Podemos MEP leads this Friday the ranking of La conversación on social media, the section of Poder Digital of DEMÓCRATA, with a TikTok video that has surpassed the 2.3 million views.
"How long I wanted to meet you XOXO", Montero writes in the video, published this Thursday. The meeting took place during the presentation of Programa de protección de dikys, Metrika’s first short film, held at the Palacio de la Prensa in Madrid. The post has accumulated 382,347 interactions, including 273,386 'likes', 1,450 comments and 107,511 shares.
The meeting between the two is not casual. Montero had already publicly shown her admiration for the artist and has used her music and references to her songs in previous TikTok videos. On October 27, she published one in which the message “The girl listens to Metrika, has good taste” appeared, following an viral trend on the platform.
The MEP also appears in seventh place in this Friday’s ranking with another video dedicated to the singer, accompanied by the message “@Madre Fundadora mi perfekta 💖💖”, which adds 34,191 interactions and more than 259,000 views.
What moves the most on social media
These are the results of La conversación en redes, the Poder Digital by Vinces section that makes it possible to follow the publications of Spanish politicians with the most interactions on X, Instagram, TikTok, and LinkedIn.
The latest ranking analyzes 2,760 publications circulated during the last 30 hours and orders the content according to the sum of the interactions they have received.
In today’s ranking specifically, it is surprising that the video by the candidate for the general elections for Podemos has achieved more than four times the interactions of the next publication in the ranking. This is due to the communication strategy that Montero is using in the pre-campaign, aimed at a younger audience interested in the conversation on social media.
What is the 'metricorto' that brought together Irene Montero and Ada Colau
The meeting took place during the premiere of Programa de protección de dikys, the first short film by Metrika, the stage name of Thais Amores, with which the singer expands the universe of her second album, LA ORDEN, released on October 30.
The production combines terror, humor, and references to popular culture. It is starring Metrika herself and actress Sandra Escacena, known for her participation in Verónica, and it develops a story built around three songs from the new record.
The short film, directed by Víctor Marín and Pablo Tocino-López, also includes appearances by artists and content creators such as Marina Rivers, Jedet, Belén Aguilera, Yung Beef, and Jordi Cruz, among others.
Ada Colau also attended the presentation and shared on her social media her encounter with Metrika. The former mayor of Barcelona and candidate of the Frente Amplio thus coincided with Montero at a cultural event, just a few weeks before the general elections on November 29, in which both are running from different candidacies.
Jon Echeverría shoots himself on social media
The second and third places go to Jon Echeverría Franco, candidate of the Partido Popular for Guipúzcoa, with two posts of the same fragment of his appearance on the program Código 10.
"Communist Alejandra Velasco asked me in Código 10 what I want for Guipúzcoa. Communism no, thank you", Echeverría writes, who has shared the content on both TikTok and Instagram.
The appointment of Echeverría, 22 years old, as the head of the PP ticket for Guipúzcoa was one of the most striking bets of the popular party for the 29N elections. The party has turned to a profile known for her appearances on television discussion panels and her activity on social networks in an attempt to regain a seat that she has not been able to win in this constituency since 2011.
The PP announced her candidacy last October 18, provoking numerous reactions on social media, including criticism for her youth and her political experience. The party itself took advantage of her digital popularity to present her choice with a message: "If they already have you dancing on television, imagine what she could do with them if she gets a seat in Congress".
Behind Echevarría in the ranking of Poder Digital, the president of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, appears, with a message of support for María Corina Machado in which he defends holding presidential elections in Venezuela in 2027, with democratic guarantees and the release of political prisoners. The publication has reached 57,380 interactions.
The ranking also includes three publications by Alvise Pérez, a message from Ada Colau about her proposal to increase taxes on large fortunes, and Pedro Sánchez's farewell to El Gran Wyoming.
