The president of Vox, Santiago Abascal, has assured this Tuesday that the presenter David Broncano "had a bad time" during the interview he carried out with him on the TVE program 'La Revuelta' due to the "unacceptable pressure" that, in his view, the left exerted on him.
According to what Vox leader has recounted, the comedian "was forced" to reveal his political stance with the expression "the reds also want Spain" in order to "justify" to part of his audience the conversation he held with Abascal on public television.
"He was worried, but not because he feared me. He was worried out of fear for his own people, because he had received a lot of pressure and they must have had to insist that he was going to whitewash fascism", he indicated in an interview on the "Cadena Cope", collected by Europa Press, in which he has held the "governing left" responsible for that "pressure".
Abascal's criticism of the left's behavior
In this context, Abascal has criticized that the left "is very cruel with its own" and "doesn't forgive them for not getting it right with a stone throw", stressing that the quote in 'La revuelta' became, in his view, more "a debate than an interview".
"From the perspective of some leftists, it would be unsatisfactory because Broncano perhaps didn't tell me everything that they believed I had to be told or didn't put me in my place", the Vox leader insisted, who has admitted the "tension" that existed in the studio, where, as he described, "it was difficult to develop a somewhat more constructive dialogue".
Nevertheless, Abascal has valued that, "despite the difficulties of the format", he had the opportunity to "explain" his positions to "millions of people" on issues that "normally" he cannot address in other media spaces.
