Overview
- David Broncano interviewed Vox leader Santiago Abascal on TVE’s La Revuelta, a broadcast that drew an average audience of 4,815,000 viewers and became the day’s most‑watched program.
- Gabriel Rufián publicly defended Broncano with the phrase “Lo intentó. Falló. No pasa nada,” saying he would not join what he called a class‑based media lynching of the presenter.
- Rufián acknowledged the interview did not fully confront Abascal and said Abascal’s three decades of public positions make him hard to challenge directly.
- Rufián said he spoke with members of Broncano’s team and defended the presenter’s decision to set aside humour and address political topics on a public broadcaster.
- Separately, Rufián confirmed he rejected a security escort in Madrid and warned that choice limits where he can safely appear, raising practical campaign security and mobility concerns.
