There are only a few hours left for the appointment with the polls this Sunday, July 23. The Spaniards are called to new general elections marked, among others, by postal voting, to which those citizens who will be on vacation during election day have had to resort.
This issue has monopolized long hours of television in recent weeks. Ana Rosa’s program addressed the end of the term for voting by mail this Friday morning, extended after an express request from the Post Office to the Central Electoral Board, and Joaquín Prat explained the mechanism of a modality that has not escaped criticism throughout the campaign.
“Citizens, when we request a vote by mail, we have to go to request it knowing all the information that the request for a vote by mail requires,” Prat said, recalling that the original deadline for this modality “was from July 3 to 16.” “We have told it actively and passively in the media,” she recalled.
The presenter claimed not to understand “what this game of voting by mail is” in addition to criticism from “many people who have been asking for an early call for elections for a year and a half, but now, as it is hot, we are not doing well”, added Joaquín Prat.
This comment from the presenter did not sit well with Ana Rosa, who responded to her partner with an aggressive tone: “It seems normal to you that they vote on July 23, right? It seems very normal to you,” Quintana interrupted Prat, leaving him practically speechless. “It doesn’t seem normal to me,” he insisted.
Joaquín has tried to continue the story and defend his position, but the tense moment has provoked the reaction of the gatherings present on the set of El programa de Ana Rosa. “It seems to me that it is the same to vote on July 23 as on December 20” or “yes, the same, it is the same”, is heard saying below the voice of the presenter.
