The program presented by Ana Rosa Quintana this week has become a political catwalk where high-level coverage has been made for the upcoming elections on July 23. Pedro Sánchez and Alberto Núñez Feijóo were the first to sit next to the presenter at the beginning of the week, in interviews that have given a lot to talk about.
Now, it has been the turn of Yolanda Díaz, leader of SUMAR, who has gone through the sofas of The AR Program to address her campaign. In a one-hour conversation, in which they have discussed issues that affect society, Quintana has made a surprising proposal to the Galician.
The Law of ‘only yes is yes’, the possible alliances after the elections and work, have been some of the aspects that have been addressed in the interview with Yolanda Díaz. Although it has been a much calmer conversation than the one Ana Rosa Quintana had with Pedro Sánchez, there is always something unexpected.
At a time when the presenter has asked the leader of SUMAR about Pablo Iglesias putting her “hitch”, Díaz has been very clear: “All of Spain knows that I have not liked it, I am a free woman. It bothered me a lot.” She has also assured that she thought a lot about accepting the proposal, but that she finally did it for “the good of the country.”
But that has not been all, Yolanda Díaz has continued, and it seems that she has coincided with Ana Rosa Quintana on something. “I am not used to anyone deciding for me, nor will I ever consent to it,” she has begun to recount. “My father said it clearly: ‘It is very difficult for a daughter who was born in a house where human rights and democracy have been defended, for someone to decide for her. And I don’t tell anyone what they have to do,'” it is finished.
Faced with this statement, the presenter has been clear about it and has not hesitated for a second to affirm something that has surprised the Galician: “We could be partners.” A kind of proposal to which Díaz has had nothing left but to burst out laughing.
Although Yolanda Díaz was the last to sit on the set of El Programa de Ana Rosa, the memory of the interview with Pedro Sánchez still hovers over her. A tense meeting between the socialist and the presenter that was loaded with taunts and reproaches and that left no one indifferent.
It had been four years since the Prime Minister and Quintana had not seen each other’s faces. And it seems that the interview was so hard that it affected the health of the journalist. “I think that tonight I caught a little cold. But hey, normal, after yesterday my defenses have lowered,” she said the next day.
