Broncano rectifies and returns to humor in ‘The Revolt’: “I am the person who has disappointed the left the most after Gabriel Rufián”

David Broncano has recovered irony and his particular humor in this Tuesday's broadcast of La revuelta, which began a few minutes after 10 pm but was recorded in the afternoon, in which he will dedicate the first 15 minutes of the broadcast to giving explanations after this Monday's controversial interview with Santiago Abascal. “I have been the person who has disappointed the left the most after Rufián,” he lamented. In addition, he apologized to the public, with whom he opened a round of questions. Previously, the comedian had already reacted on TVE's La 1 News to Abascal's controversial intervention in the program. "I feel like I've disappointed people who expect a lot from us, from the program and from me. Yesterday we didn't do it the way we had to," he explained. Previously, the host had also reiterated to EL PAÍS that the decision about everything that happens in the program is his: "Both accepting that Vox chose the public and continuing with the interview. Despite that demand, it was my decision. RTVE has never pressured me on the matter." In his statements, the man from Jaén considers this a “crisis management”, who prefers to control the statements and that is why he has chosen to speak in more detail through The Revolt.

Already on Tuesday afternoon, before entering the recording of the La 1 program, which featured the Frente Amplio candidate, Ada Colau, as the protagonist, the presenter also addressed several media outlets to sing the mea culpa: "I'm sad, yes, because I don't think I did well yesterday." "I was wrong about several things about how it was done. I regret many things. Possibly I should have used comedy more, as I always do, but it is complicated," he expressed with a regretful gesture. The presenter of La revuelta insisted that many people thought that, yesterday, with Abascal, “he shouldn't be involved in many jokes”, but that they were surely wrong.

Many of the criticisms received have been directed precisely at the change in the format's usual tone for a much more serious one. Broncano explained that since the interview began he realized that it had not been a good decision to leave the public in the hands of Vox. "I saw that it was very unequal and very unfair, and for the public too: why are they applauding him for anything? It was very complicated that any phrase he said was applauded and anything I said, even though I was a little confused about everything, I said quite reasonable things, and it was received with a murmur and as if I had said something outrageous," he said.
