Vox cancels Santiago Abascal interview with Jordi Wild
Vox canceled Santiago Abascal’s interview with Jordi Wild hours before filming for Wild’s YouTube channel, The Wild Project.
Wild said Vox had signed an agreement for the conversation to be published in full, without edits.
Vox linked its decision to a dispute with TV host David Broncano over the handling of an Abascal interview and said it wanted guarantees over recording rights.
Wild said he was willing to sign a stronger promise not to edit the conversation, but that Vox then wanted to record it and own the rights.
He called the cancellation disrespectful and suggested Vox wanted to reduce the risk of difficult questions about its policies.
The interview was one of four planned with candidates for Spain’s general election; Wild had also interviewed Pedro Sánchez and Ada Colau, and planned to interview Alberto Núñez Feijóo.
Vox cancelled an interview with Santiago Abascal on Jordi Wild’s YouTube programme, The Wild Project, hours before it was due to be recorded.
Wild said Vox had already signed an agreement to publish the interview in full and called the cancellation disrespectful to his work.
Vox linked its decision to its dispute with La Revuelta over the handling of an Abascal interview and said it wanted rights over interview material.
Wild said Vox later demanded exclusive audiovisual rights, which he rejected.
He suggested Vox wanted to minimise the risks of Abascal answering questions on sensitive political issues.
