BarcelonaDavid Broncano, presenter of 'La Revuelta', the entertainment show on La 1, has intoned the mea culpa hours after interviewing the leader of Vox and candidate for the general elections on November 29, Santiago Abascal. The RTVE presenter appeared "sad," because he believes he was "wrong" in the way he approached the meeting with the Vox leader, moving away from the comic register that usually characterizes the show. Broncano's apologies come hours before the interview with the Front Ampli candidate and former mayor of Barcelona, Ada Colau.
"I think I was wrong about several things, in how it was done. I regret many things. Possibly I should have used more comedy, as I always do, but it was complicated. There were many people who told me not to make jokes with politicians. I didn't particularly do it in the previous interviews, and yesterday, with Abascal, there were people who thought I shouldn't make many jokes with him. And surely I was wrong, because comedy could have been used," he acknowledged.
"I underestimated Abascal on a communicative scale"
In the minutes leading up to the interview with Ada Colau, Broncano spent more than a quarter of an hour giving explanations about what happened the night before, both to the regular audience of the show and to the viewers present in the studio. Visibly nervous and affected, the presenter acknowledged that "we made a mistake" and that he had never felt "so sad with himself".
Broncano explained that he underestimated Abascal "on a communicative level" and the force that 400 people applauding each of the Vox leader's interventions could have. He also recalled that the party had requested to bring its own audience to the program and that, on average, the regular viewers of La Revuelta have a more progressive profile. As he admitted, they accepted the conditions to avoid exposing themselves to possible booing against Abascal, but they did not foresee the effect that that audience would have on the development of the interview.
