Pepa Bueno Rebuts 'Sanchista' Label on La Revuelta

She defended journalistic honesty, linking the dust-up to questions over RTVE's neutrality.

Overview

  • On Thursday's broadcast, Pepa Bueno rejected being defined as "sanchista" and said journalists must approach reality with honesty rather than live by others' labels.
  • The studio crowd greeted her with a loud ovation as David Broncano quipped the theatre was "lleno de auténticas alimañas comunistas," underscoring the show's combative mood.
  • Broncano maintained that serious newscasts and political debates should not have live audiences because spectators can condition the discussion.
  • The segment followed Mariló Montero's earlier assertion that RTVE has a strong left‑wing bias and her remark that Bueno is "muy sanchista."
  • Montero later posted a statement calling the exchange improvised and respectful and thanking the program, while Bueno is returning to present La 1’s second edition of Telediario.
