Abascal to be interviewed by Broncano on La Revuelta on Monday, 9 November

Two candidates lined up for La Revuelta

Santiago Abascal, leader of Vox, will be interviewed by the humorist David Broncano on TVE's La Revuelta on Monday, 9 November, according to sources in his party and to ABC, which confirmed the date. Ada Colau, candidate of Frente Amplio, has also accepted the invitation, and RTVE told EL PAÍS that she will appear on Tuesday, 10 November. Both visits fall within the pre-campaign for the general election of 29 November. Abascal's appearance comes four days before the official start of the campaign, and he has already visited almost twenty Spanish provinces on the trail.

An open invitation to every candidate

On 14 October Broncano announced that he would send letters to the PSOE, the PP, Vox and Frente Amplio, asking their representatives to join him in the studio. He joked with the collaborator Ricardo Castella that the show had to 'at least simulate impartiality', then addressed the candidates directly.

“Pedro, Alberto, Santiago and whoever else... you are all invited.”

Pedro Sánchez, Irene Montero and Gabriel Rufián had already accepted before Abascal. According to eldiario, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, the PP candidate, had not yet responded to the invitation. ABC recalls that in October 2019 Broncano told Gerard Piqué on La Resistencia that he would not invite Abascal, answering with a flat 'No'. The collaborator Grison predicted on the podcast Tómatelo con vino in June 2025 that Abascal would never come to the show.

Earlier guests set high audience marks

Pedro Sánchez's interview on 22 October drew 4,387,000 viewers and a 33.9% share, according to EL PAÍS, which calls it the programme's record share. eldiario gives the audience as 4.4 million. The visit by Irene Montero and Gabriel Rufián on 27 October reached a 21.7% share and averaged 2,654,000 viewers, per EL PAÍS, while eldiario describes that share as the second-best in the programme's history. eldiario says the programme now has the chance to set another audience record with Abascal's visit.
