Feijóo puts on the 'Anotop At' cape in front of Jordi Wild to conquer Generation Z: "I don't know English, but I know how to govern"

Alberto Núñez Feijóo wants to "retune" with young people between 18 and 30 years old. There is the real battle for the vote with Vox. Faced with a dog and with a technical tie in the polls, the two right-wing parties are vying for the favor of Generation Z. That is why the president of the PP has not missed the opportunity to face the questions of youtuber Jordi Wild and has put on the mantle of the fictional 'superhero' Anotop at, the new incarnation that the PP has devised to redefine one of the biggest parliamentary mistakes of its candidate, and to humanize him before the youngest electorate.

In fact, Feijóo memes have multiplied on the networks under that pseudonym Anotop At, due to Feijóo's famous mistake in Congress, when he wanted to say that if a series were made about Sánchez, it would be titled "Anatomy of a failure", but he stumbled and his microphone was turned off. Now the PP's plan is to rajoyize the candidate. Make it affable from self-parody. And, from there, "bet on the cultural battle, to take the ideas of the PP where Feijóo does not reach." For example, the enormous flow of spectators of Jordi Wild.

The interview, published this Friday at 10:00 a.m., went well, in strictly strategic and electoral terms. Because? Because it has been able to crumble its "management" program in the digital prime time of voters between 18 and 35 years old. And because the comparison with Santiago Abascal's 'espantá' speaks for itself.

The Vox candidate has erred on the side of not losing what he won in David Broncano's La Revuelta and has preferred to cancel the interview with the most important YouTuber in Spain, while Feijóo has seemed comfortable in The Wild Project and has even lengthened the interview - held on Thursday in Manresa - at the cost of arriving late to an event in Girona, at the insistence of his team to finish on time: "Let's see, who's in charge here?"

The PP candidate knows that he has to exploit Vox's "reputational" hole, but he is going to try it without disguise, but from his invocation of "management" and experience. "I keep my word." That is what he answered when asked about Santiago Abascal's slamming of the door. Feijóo has highlighted that "the format is maintained" (the interview is published raw) and "the conditions were very clear." Therefore, he has "no problem" that prevents him from going, although he "respects the campaign decisions of others," he said, so as not to want to get into trouble.

Feijóo has answered all questions openly. For example, about his lack of languages: "I don't know English, but I know how to govern, and I don't insult in any language." Or about his relationship with Isabel Díaz Ayuso, whom he has defended tooth and nail. Or about the return of the military to Spain: "I don't want to get to that, because that would mean that we have a maximum security problem," like that of Poland on its border with Russia.

He has even referred to the famous photo with drug trafficker Marcial Dorado. "He had shingles," he began by saying, upon seeing the image, to justify the strange amount of cream on his back. "There was nothing about drug trafficking; what there was was that he had been involved in tobacco smuggling at the time and he was charged with drug trafficking three years after I stopped having a relationship...", Feijóo warned.

"Were you friends?" Wild asked him. This person was introduced to me by a person from the Xunta de Galicia who had a friendly relationship with him and I went to eat with this colleague from time to time, or on a boat. And point ball. And when I noticed that he had a pending trial for smuggling, it was over," Feijóo replied. "What I don't have photos of is with prostitutes financed with public funds," he wanted to clarify.

But Wild immediately put him in front of the mirror: what would he have said if Sánchez had this photo? "The Galicians know perfectly well the difference between tobacco smuggling, which I am not justifying, which is a tax crime, with the shit of drugs," responded the Galician leader. "If all they say about me is this," he said, before Wild finished the sentence: "Well, you're welcome."

"Everyone is responsible for their photos, and I prefer this" photo "from 30 years ago," he said, than if his primaries had been funded by the prostitution business. "Is it true that the financing of the primaries has come in part from your family's prostitution business, yes or no?" Feijóo suggested that Sánchez be asked.

In pugilistic terms, this interview acts as a kind of weighing ceremony between the candidates before the young public, and there the PP believes that it emerges the winner due to Abascal's non-appearance. "Anotop At is unleashed," a PP spokesperson comes up with. The success of the Anotop At memes - an attempt to replicate the 'Perro Sanxe effect' - has escalated to Genoa, where euphoria has spread due to the good image given in Jordi Wild's podcast.

Wild dedicated the first part of the interview to polarization and the sides, in particular to the possible coalition government with Santiago Abascal. "I do not belong to any side. I believe in political centrality. I believe that there are things that can be improved. I am a reformist politician. I believe that we must maintain what works," he began by saying. And among the disagreements he has with Vox, he has highlighted "the idea of ​​Europe" or "the Spain of autonomies."

"The virus has affected me"

At this point, Feijóo recalled that the new regional governments have established limits that are "respect for the Constitution, respect for equality, gender violence, European regulations or the rule of law." "I can perfectly understand the concern" of people about Vox, "but in this new stage we have not had any problems with Vox in governments; in this new stage Vox has moved towards reality," he added.

When Feijóo wanted to get out of the framework of the "sides" Jordi Wild told him that "all" the big parties participate in the polarization and that he himself has seen "high school fights" in Congress. There Feijóo has had to admit it: "Yes, I don't dispute it. This is like a virus that when it is inoculated and spreads obviously affects a good part of the political population and it has affected me too," he acknowledged.

When Feijóo accused Sánchez of "dividing", Wild asked him: "But he could say the same about you...". That is, it was not an interview like Broncano's with Abascal. Wild's was better prepared and had two real-time verifiers to verify the veracity of what both the presenter and the candidate were saying.

Before them, Feijóo has made a new promise: he has estimated the savings that Spanish coffers will achieve at more than 10,000 or 12,000 million thanks to the reduction in absenteeism that he advocates, to "allocate them to pensions."
