Sánchez is scheduled for a live interview with David Broncano from 21:45 on La 1 and RTVE Play on Thursday, 22 October, as the PSOE candidate for the 29 November general election.
Broncano invited Alberto Núñez Feijóo and Santiago Abascal, who had not responded when RTVE reported, while two candidates had accepted without being named.
Pedro Sánchez, Spain's prime minister and the PSOE candidate in the general election on 29 November, is set to be interviewed by David Broncano on La Revuelta on Thursday, 22 October. The live broadcast on La 1 and RTVE Play starts at 21:45. Europa Press reported the booking on Wednesday, 21 October, citing sources familiar with the plans, and RTVE said it had been confirmed about 24 hours before the slot. Sánchez opened his pre-campaign on Saturday, 17 October, in Fuenlabrada (Madrid), and has also held party events in Valladolid and Burgos. Once aired, the interview will be the first time Broncano and Sánchez have talked face to face on camera.
Broncano had invited the main candidates ahead of the vote, sending invitations to Sánchez, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, Santiago Abascal and the Frente Amplio representative, according to El Mundo. Eldiario reported that the PSOE, PP, Vox and Frente Amplio had all been invited to put their leading figures on the programme's sofa. Broncano joked that a public-service show in the middle of a campaign had a duty to look fair, and he said so in these words:
“It seems we have to, at the very least, pretend to be impartial.”
Broncano had said two candidates accepted the invitation before Sánchez's visit, without naming them. RTVE reported that Feijóo and Abascal had not yet responded, and Broncano said it would be rude if they did not come. Sánchez's visit settles one of those open questions for the programme.
The appearance also feeds a rivalry between La Revuelta and El Hormiguero, the Antena 3 show presented by Pablo Motos. El Mundo reported that Motos had offered Sánchez 70 minutes on his programme to explain his electoral proposals. Motos said his team had contacted Moncloa on 5 October, hours after Sánchez announced the early election, and that the prime minister was the first person they had called. El Confidencial reported that La Revuelta has been losing ground in the late-night slot over the past month, often overtaken by Horizonte, and that the interview could show whether the prime minister can lift its ratings. The programme reached TVE's schedule in September 2024 amid opposition criticism of alleged ideological bias in favour of the government and of its budget. Sánchez had already appeared on the show by video in October 2025, answering a request from a collaborator's young daughter.
Europa Press expects housing to feature, given the camp-out at Madrid's Puerta del Sol, now almost a month old, and the sustainability of the pension system, which the PP has questioned. The interview could also touch on a visit to Spain by Argentine president Javier Milei. The Socialists have rebranded their campaign 'La fuerza del amor' after Sánchez told his wife 'te quiero' from the stage in Fuenlabrada. Broncano said another candidate would appear on the programme the following week. The general election is on 29 November.
