'La Revuelta' changes the audience for the interview with Abascal and Bolaños accuses the Vox leader of wanting to "fill the room with ultras"

The interview with the leader of Vox, Santiago Abascal, this Monday on La Revuelta has become the subject of controversy after it came to light that the public who had planned to attend the program that day had received an email in which they were informed that their attendance had been cancelled.

"We are sorry to inform you that the recording for next Monday the 9th has just changed and therefore your attendance and that of your companions is cancelled," the message indicates, according to the newspaper Público.

El Terrat, the program's producer, adds that although it will be broadcast on Monday "due to special circumstances it will be recorded under different calendar and audience conditions."

This Friday, presenter Javier Ruiz indicated in La Séptima that "Vox wants to bring its own audience to the program" by not accepting Broncano's usual audience. For this reason, according to the network, it would have presented TVE with an option to bring its own audience, an offer rejected by TVE. Finally, what is on the table is that "a casting audience" will attend La Revuelta this Monday, that is, a previously selected one.

Bolaños' criticism of Abascal

Following this information, the Minister of the Presidency and Justice, Félix Bolaños, accused Abascal this Saturday of wanting to control the public that will attend the TVE program next Monday. "He wants to fill the room with ultras," he denounced at a PSOE event in Leganés (Madrid).

In this sense, Bolaños has defended that when the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, attended the program on October 22, he did so with the public that had already planned the program.

"How brave Abascal, who wants to put the public on him, the cowardly far-right," said the minister. "But weren't we the ones who couldn't go out on the streets?" he asked the Vox leader ironically.

For his part, the comedian Héctor de Miguel, friend of Broncano and former colleague at the head of the program Modern Life on Cadena Ser, also referred this Saturday in La Séptima about the controversial interview with Abascal.

"It is public television, it is the Electoral Board that rules here and that forces you to do this interview. Broncano has no choice but to do it, he cannot choose and that's it," he noted on his program La comedia nacional.

Last Thursday, when La Revuelta announced that Abascal would be Monday's guest, there was little applause or booing. "A snow machine is going to come to all this public and take them away," Grison joked.
