Pedro Sánchez quickly enters the set of El hormiguero and I see Pablo Motos more uncomfortable than the president of the central government he will be interviewing. “You invited a guy you shouldn’t have invited, Pablito: let Txapote see you today!”, Desokupa’s boss just told him on Twitter.
Pedro Sánchez arrives in shirt sleeves – jean blue – and with a rainbow bracelet. He comes hungry to puncture five years of criticism of “sanchismo” (“that monster with seven heads that some have invented”) from “media”. Pablo Motos wants to know if he is referring to his program, without getting it. But we know it is.
That is why Sánchez responds to the program’s collaborator (Juan del Val) who accused him of “fraud” for calling elections on July 23: “I am criticized for this by those who would criticize me if I do not call”.
And about Catalonia? There will be no more referendums, said Sánchez, claiming the socialist majority in Catalonia as a guarantee, and Pablo Motos breathes gratefully.
The audience on the set (someone on the networks said that it was a police infiltrate!) spontaneously applauded Pedro Sánchez, as when he said: “I will win the elections, Pablo!”. Motos kept his face exceptionally serious and his torso erect, while Sánchez approached him and smiled, relaxed as if he were at home. The president has proven it here: you must go to all programs without fear!
Sánchez acknowledged that the law of only yes is yes had unintended results: he asked for forgiveness from the victims of rapists. He did not, however, criticize Minister Irene Montero, despite the insistence of Motos, who recalled that the Secretary of Equality said that “Spanish men are quite rapists”. For Sánchez – as he put it – maintaining governmental stability was the priority…
At the end, the ants Trancas and Barrancas ask funny questions – Falcon and such – and by now Pedro Sánchez is already the king of the mambo and allows himself several pirouettes and recreational acrobatics.
