Santiago Abascal and Vox political activities

Overview

Vox leader Santiago Abascal has intensified his political opposition to Pedro Sánchez’s government, using digital media to criticize administration policies on healthcare, housing, and immigration. He has also sought to expand Vox’s international influence through the Disenso Foundation and Foro Madrid.

Abascal’s appearance on the program La Revuelta sparked significant controversy. The interview, hosted by David Broncano, achieved record viewership of 4,815,000 spectators and a 33.6% audience share. However, the broadcast faced intense scrutiny regarding its execution. Broncano issued a public apology, stating he felt he did not meet the standards of public television. He expressed regret over decisions such as allowing the Vox party to manage the studio audience through an external agency and opting for a serious tone instead of the program’s signature humor.

During the segment, Abascal referred to the situation in Ceuta as an “invasion,” a term Broncano disputed, and labeled Sánchez a “dictator” and an “apprentice tyrant.” The TVE News Council issued internal criticism, describing the episode as an improvised political debate that lacked journalistic rigor and had abandoned the essence of the show. While critics argued the atmosphere resembled a political rally, Abascal claimed he faced “unacceptable pressure from the political left” during the encounter.
