Political news continues to feature on the agenda of television current affairs programs during the holidays. And, with the Extremadura elections still recent, spaces continue to analyze and draw conclusions on whether or not this can be extrapolated to the national situation. … Well, with the Extremadura elections as a backdrop, Ignacio Garrigasecretary general of Vox, played a special role this Tuesday on the networks, since he was invited to morning shows like ‘El program de Ana Rosa’ (Telecinco) or ‘Espejo Público’ (Antena 3) to talk about the possible pact that they will have to conclude with María Guardiola so that she can govern in the community. However, it was in the program of the Atresmedia network that the politician not only spoke about this, but also about other current issues that led him to a head-on collision with Lorena Garciahost of the program while Susanna Griso is on vacation.
“Espejo Público” was on the political fringe when, after almost an hour of debates and discussions among collaborators, Lorena Garcia welcomed Ignacio Garrigasecretary general of Vox, to whom I asked about the possibility that María Guardiola would request “abstention” from the PSOE. “I think it could happen without a doubt,” the guest of the morning on Antena 3 said directly, emphasizing that in Brussels, the PP and the PSOE had agreed on “many things.” A note which provoked the reaction of the presenter. “Does this seem like a problem to you?” “Does understanding seem like a problem to you?” he asked the politician. “Not at all,” Garriga replied in the first tense point of the interview.
However, this was not the only moment of tension, since another moment that left a rarefied atmosphere was when Lorena Garcia reproached him general secretary of Vox that what he had responded to as his plan for government in Extremadura was the general argument of the party. “Vox says the same thing in Extremadura, Catalonia and Madrid: guarantee the prosperity of the Spanish people, doing everything that the PP and PSOE have not done in the last 45 years,” Ignacio Garriga told Espejo Público cameras.

Then came the most tense moment of the interview when Lorena Garcia refers to his guest for the viral video of two young people calling themselves homosexuals and voters of Voice. ‘Espejo Público’ broadcast the images and after finishing, the presenter asked him directly why he was telling people that he was surprised by the political ideology of these boys.
“Well, these. “Young people are showing common sense and judgment, they are young people who have heard Vox’s message directly and who have not let themselves be intoxicated by certain media who have a great interest in manipulating Vox’s message and making people believe that Vox is the same thing as the PP and the PSOE,” he began by saying. Ignacio Garriga. “These young people feel betrayed by politicians who promised a lot and who have done absolutely nothing,” said the guest of Espejo Público, interrupted by Lorena Garcia. “The PSOE brought homosexual marriage, which is one of the great successes of the LGTBI movement,” the Antena 3 morning presenter told him, to which the politician counterattacked. “Yes, yes, but the problem is not whether you are gay or not, it will be a problem that some will have, not us,” declared the general secretary of Vox, who “clashed” head-on with the journalist in response to what she said to him. “It’s not a problem to be gay. Being gay is not a problem, Mr. Garriga,” García added to the guest who “confronted” her.
“No no. ‘I’m saying it, don’t manipulate me, I’m telling you, it’s not a problem,’ he stopped her. Ignacio Garriga has Lorena Garcia. “The problem is that a young person cannot access housing, cannot go out on the street safely, … these are the real problems, not sexual orientation. “Everyone is free, the only thing missing,” said the guest of “Espejo Público”.
