Julio Iglesias, besides being a renowned international artist, is not an ideologically neutral figure. On February 29, 1996, four days before the general elections, the singer appeared alongside José María Aznar in a packed bullring in Zaragoza, where he was greeted with euphoria. There, Iglesias explained that he had decided to take the step of becoming politically involved for the first time because "a country never grows without change," he said, referring to the thirteen years that Spain had been governed by Felipe González. "There will be no better president for Spain than José María Aznar!" he proclaimed after explaining that he had had long conversations with the leader of the People's Party (PP) before taking this step.

Plácido Domingo's return to the Spanish stage received a long applause - 3 minutes long, according to El Mundo, and 8 minutes, according to El Español. The singer performed on Wednesday in Madrid at a charity gala. It was his first performance after he admitted "all responsibility" in the harassment allegations that a score of women made against him in August 2019. An investigation by the union of musical artists in the United States ruled that he had practiced "inappropriate behavior". But according to his fans, no judicial investigation supports these allegations.
