Broncano Faces Tricky Situation Over Abascal Interview on 'La Revuelta'
Listen to the story
TV host David Broncano is facing a tricky situation because of an upcoming interview on his show, 'La Revuelta'.
Santiago Abascal, the leader of the Spanish political party Vox, will appear as a guest on the program this Monday.
Broncano has spoken about the interview, saying it puts him "in a difficult spot". He did not explain exactly why.
Abascal is a well-known and sometimes controversial figure in Spanish politics. His party holds strong right-wing views.
The day after Abascal's appearance, another guest with very different political views will join the show: Ada Colau.
Colau is a former mayor of Barcelona and is known for her left-wing politics.
Having two guests with opposite political ideas on back-to-back episodes has drawn attention from the media.
Broncano's comment suggests that interviewing Abascal may be a sensitive task for him, perhaps because of the political pressure involved.
It is not clear from his words whether the difficulty comes from the topics he must discuss, the public reaction he expects, or something else.
'La Revuelta' is a popular Spanish talk show known for inviting guests from very different backgrounds, including politicians, actors, and other public figures.
Fans and viewers are now waiting to see how Broncano will handle the conversation with Abascal, and how it will compare to the interview with Colau the next day.
No further details about the content of either interview have been shared yet.
