Abascal and Broncano debate housing, climate and immigration on La Revuelta
Vox leader Santiago Abascal appeared on La Revuelta, the Spanish TV show hosted by David Broncano, in an interview that became a political debate.
They discussed housing, climate change, immigration and violence against women, rather than the programme’s usual lighter questions.
Broncano challenged Abascal’s views on climate change and immigration, while Abascal argued that environmental restrictions harm the economy and defended deporting people who enter Spain irregularly or commit crimes.
Abascal called housing access a major problem but blamed the government, immigration and limits on building land; he also supported public housing and more construction.
The exchange came during campaigning for Spain’s 29 November election, as several candidates have appeared on the programme.
The show’s audience had been selected through an agency at Vox’s request, according to the programme’s explanation.
Ada Colau was due to appear on the programme the following day.

What people are saying
I suppose it is because of shyness. I think a person who is in the public eye can also be shy, and television is not my medium.
We have never spoken about expelling workers.
There was some fear that the programme’s usual audience might make the conversation and the pace of the interview difficult.
