The electoral interviews of Jordi Wild with Alberto Núñez Feijóo, Ada Colau and Pedro Sánchez have accumulated nearly six million views during their first ten hours on YouTube, according to the data available at 6:30 p.m. this Friday, November 13. The candidate of the Partido Popular leads the views, ahead of the representative of Frente Amplio and of the president of the Government, in a day in which the three leaders have answered questions from the content creator on The Wild Project.
With 2.1 million views, Feijóo leads the provisional ranking. Next is Colau, whose conversation accumulates 1.9 million, while Sánchez occupies third place with 1.8 million. The difference between first and last is about 300,000 reproductions, although the interviews have not been published simultaneously: Colau’s was the first to appear, followed by Feijóo’s and, finally, Sánchez’s.
Feijóo leads the views and Sánchez closes the provisional ranking
The conversation with the president of the PP addressed his possible Government agreements with Vox, immigration, pensions, and corruption cases that have affected his party. Among his statements, Feijóo has confirmed that he would eliminate the ministries of Equality and Housing as independent departments if he reaches La Moncloa.
For his part, Pedro Sánchez has been the focus of several exchanges with Wild about political polarization, railway accidents, and the management of the Executive. The president defended that the tension is “asymmetrical,” an interpretation that the interviewer questioned by reminding him that all parties have part of the responsibility.
In the interview with Ada Colau, the Frente Amplio candidate recognized errors in the communication of the left and admitted that her leaders have been “too moralistic”. “You have to confront ideas, not tell people how they should live,” she defended.
Abascal, the great absentee from the electoral interviews
The special of The Wild Project finally took place without Santiago Abascal. The president of Vox canceled his participation after his party and Jordi Wild did not reach an agreement on the recording conditions and subsequent use of the content.
The three interviews have been published coinciding with the start of the general election campaign on November 29, in which the parties seek to expand their presence among voters who consume political information through digital platforms.
The audience data correspond to 6:30 p.m. this Friday and are provisional. In addition, since the conversations were published at different times, the accumulated views do not allow determining which one attracted more viewers during its first hours of availability.
