PP Madrid Deputy Hurls Sexist Insult at Journalist on Live TV and Refuses to Retract

The exchange unfolded during a Telecinco debate over politicians’ social media conduct.

Overview

  • Elisa Vigil, a Partido Popular deputy in the Madrid Assembly, insulted journalist and panelist Sarah Santaolalla during Telecinco’s En boca de todos.
  • The clash began as they discussed a video Vigil posted mocking communists, after Santaolalla criticized politicians’ behavior on platforms like TikTok.
  • Vigil told Santaolalla, “For simple, your photos showing your boobs,” prompting Santaolalla to call the remark sexist and ask the host to censure it on air.
  • Presenter Nacho Abad asked Vigil to retract her words during the broadcast, but she declined to do so.
  • Hours later, Santaolalla posted the clip on X, denounced the attack as sexist, and urged the PP to condemn it, with no party response cited in the reports.
