Pedro Sánchez and Santiago Abascal are the most polarizing leaders in Spain, according to the 2025 Polarization Atlas prepared by More in Common. Below, at a certain distance, Isabel Díaz Ayuso. The study also reveals that the perception of those who divide varies by ideology: for socialist voters, Sánchez ranks third among the most controversial figures, while Vox supporters place Abascal in second place.
We are in the middle of the season of family meals, corporate scenes, groups of friends, the football team… For weeks, we have been going through desserts and WhatsApp discussions in those that we are talking about from Gaza and corruption.

In this episode, Ana Fuentes was joined by El País journalist José Manuel Abad and expert and author of “Atlas de la Polarización en España 2025”, Tarek Jaziri-Arjona.
