Gabriel Rufián confirms that he is the one who appears in the viral video dancing with actress Ester Expósito.

BarcelonaA few days ago, a secretly recorded video circulated on social media of two people dancing together, who appeared to be the Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya (Republican Left of Catalonia) deputy in Congress, Gabriel Rufián, and actress Ester Expósito. After doubts and theories about the identity of the protagonists, the deputy has explained that, indeed, they are the two of them in the video. This was confirmed yesterday by Gabriel Rufián on The revolt in a visit that makes him the first politician to appear on the program.

The origin of the video and the doubts

The short length of the video and the low quality of the images made it difficult to fully confirm the identity of the dancers, which is why some doubted that they were Rufián and Expósito, although witnesses who were in the same place and who can be heard in the audio recording make comments in which they are called out. In addition, some users on social networks said that it could be a video made with artificial intelligence, but it has become clear that this was not the case: Rufián and Expósito danced together.

A The revolt Last night, Rufián explained the context of the situation and how he met the actress. The congressman claims he was with his group of friends, one of whom was getting married, and he met another group of friends, including Ester Expósito. The congressman described her as a "wonderful" and "extremely nice" actress. According to the politician, they met and spoke, and he told her how brave she was in her "significance" with "Gaza" and "some political cause." To David Broncano's astonishment at Rufián's comment to Expósito, the congressman said he thought the actress was "taking a risk, a bit." "She danced with everyone because she's incredibly nice, and in one of them, she touched me for a minute and they recorded me. That's it, and that's it," Rufián concluded.
