🇪🇸 Santiago Abascal, leader of VOX, canceled his participation in the Wild Project, the most played podcast in the Spanish language, with 7.4 million subscribers on YouTube.
Geordie Wilde, wildly billed as Spain's Joe Rogan, uploaded a video to Twitter, with 14 million views, announcing that VOX had canceled Abscale's appearance on the podcast.
VOX shortly issued a statement stating their reasons: in a public televised appearance on one of the country's most watched shows, PSOE-controlled RTVE cut and hid 40 key minutes of the interview with Abscal the night before.
This comes as a terrible electoral calculation, as the cancellation was interpreted as cowardice by the Internet, as VOX risks losing a large part of the young online norm electorate. The interview was expected to be blunt and challenging, which makes Abascal's situation even worse, as he seems unable to handle difficult questions.
