Overview
- Vox leader Santiago Abascal pulled out of a planned appearance on Jordi Wild’s The Wild Project after initially confirming the interview.
- Jordi Wild posted a public video accusing Vox of trying to renegotiate ownership of the interview recording and that video has drawn tens of millions of views.
- Vox said the withdrawal followed dissatisfaction with how Abascal’s recent appearance on David Broncano’s show was edited and a refusal to grant exclusive rights to the Wild recording.
- Prominent streamers and political communication experts largely called the decision a tactical error that risks alienating young male viewers even as some analysts say any long-term vote loss may be limited.
- With major platforms restricting paid political ads, creators like Jordi Wild have outsize reach to younger audiences, making decisions about access and content rights a new campaign vulnerability for parties.
