The morning television programs focused their attention yesterday on the delivery or not of José Luis Ábalos’s deputy record. The former minister had a period of 24 hours to do so after the ultimatum given to him by the President of the Government Pedro Sánchez. The deadline ended at 11:00 a.m., and Ábalos did not renounce his deputy status, since he defended his innocence in the Koldo Case; so he will move to the Mixed Group.
The debate about this situation in the current affairs tables of the different television spaces took on a certain intensity in Espejo Público, the program presented by Susana Griso, causing a confrontation between collaborators Gonzalo Miró and Mariló Montero, which surprised everyone present, since The presenter also snapped at Pilar Miró’s son: “Now you are going to teach me to be a talk show host.”
During the gathering, Griso raised the possibility that a mayor convicted of driving while intoxicated could replace Ábalos, unleashing a series of sarcastic comments among the participants. This exchange culminated in a tense exchange of words between Miró and Montero, who did not skimp on throwing darts at each other with irony and mischief.
“It’s just that Gonzalo feels bad that I’m always against him. It turns him off!” said Montero. “I’m not saying you’re against me, I’m saying you don’t rest,” Miró responded. “Now you’re going to teach me to be a talk show host, I’m better at presenting but I’m not bad at being a talk show host,” Montero snapped.
Miró tried to downplay the incident, saying that he was just laughing and had no intention of teaching his partner anything. However, Montero continued his comments, highlighting Pedro Sánchez’s alleged leadership deficiencies and comparing him to Vito Corleone.
“I think that Pedro Sánchez’s control of Ábalos has gotten out of hand at the moment. The master of all this was Vito Corleone when he said that you have to train your people so that the day you retire the company continues well led”, highlighted Montero, and added that the President of the Government made the mistake here because “he only wants to preserve himself in the leadership”, and highlighted that Sánchez “does not know how to maintain the teams”. He concluded by highlighting that it would be necessary to see whether Ábalos, from the Mixed Group, would put the coalition government’s votes in check or not.
“What you are advising Pedro Sánchez is to become a dictator, or Kim Jong-un as you called him here one day, to Vito Corleone. Is that what you are recommending?” Miró asked him, and Montero answered him. affirmatively and assured him that if they met again he would bring him other references that reinforce his thesis in both the cultural and sports fields. Miró ruled that they would not meet again.
