The television program El Hormiguero is used to seeing, week after week, the most renowned artists from around the world come to its set to promote themselves. However, politicians are not used to lavishing too much on the space of Pablo Motos and even less the presidents of the Government.
However, in the midst of the electoral campaign for the general elections on July 23, both the executive leader and PSOE candidate, Pedro Sánchez, and the Popular Party candidate, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, will attend one of the programs with more audience of the television scene in our country.
During yesterday’s day, in which Maluma was the star guest of the space, rumors began to circulate through the networks that ensured that the current President of the Government would have demanded that his interview with Pablo Motos be carried out without the presence of the public, with the presumed objective of avoiding possible booing. These hoaxes promoted by the extreme right even claimed that the Antena 3 space was preparing to use canned sounds to mask this absence.
These rumors have been gaining strength to such an extent that the Atremedia space itself has been forced to deny them in a brief statement on his Twitter account: “Pedro Sánchez has not requested any change in tomorrow’s public”.
This message comes after a few days in which the Antena 3 format has been peppered with various controversies. In fact, last Friday, Pablo Motos took advantage of the current gathering to answer Vox after denouncing the veto of the party for not interviewing Santiago Abascal on the program. The Valencian presenter assured that the intention of El Hormiguero was to interview the leaders of “the two main parties that have the possibility of governing”.
This announcement came only a few hours after the actress Mónica López, star of the Rapa series, accused the program of normalizing the far-right formation in an interview on Ràdio Estel. “You don’t have to go to El Hormiguero. That man whitewashes fascism and whitewashes unpresentable people. People of culture cannot go to El Hormiguero,” she concluded.
