Spanish Politicians Visit Popular Streamer Jordi Wild
Listen to the story
Jordi Wild, one of Spain's most popular streamers, hosted several leading politicians on his online show this week. The event included long, in-depth conversations lasting about six hours in total.
Among the guests were Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, opposition leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo, and former Barcelona mayor Ada Colau. Jordi Wild described the moment as "a once in a lifetime" experience.
The conversations covered several major issues affecting Spain today. One central topic was the economy, including questions about growth, jobs, and prices.
Another key subject was housing, a growing concern for many Spaniards as rents and property prices continue to rise across the country.
The politicians also addressed the ongoing crisis in Ceuta, a Spanish city located in North Africa that has faced significant pressure in recent times.
Closely linked to this was the topic of migration, which remains one of the most debated political issues in Spain and across Europe.
According to reports, each candidate presented a different discourse, or way of framing these issues, reflecting their party's political position.
The appearance of top politicians on a streamer's show highlights a wider trend: political figures increasingly use digital platforms to reach younger audiences who may not watch traditional television news.
Jordi Wild's channel attracts a large, mostly young audience, making it an attractive venue for political messaging ahead of future debates or elections.
While the summary does not detail every exchange, the event is being seen as a notable moment in how Spanish politics engages with online media.
