The president of VOX, Santiago Abascal, had a strong confrontation this Monday with the woke presenter David Broncano during his participation in La Revuelta, the program of the Spanish public television RTVE, where they discussed the 2030 Agenda, environmental restrictions, and climate change, amid the campaign for the general elections on November 29.
The visit of the Spanish right-wing leader came after the television space hosted the socialist president Pedro Sánchez and left-wing candidates Irene Montero and Gabriel Rufián. Abascal, who maintains a critical stance towards the official management of RTVE, accepted to participate in the program and defend his positions against a host with whom he has significant political differences.
The exchange began when Broncano questioned VOX's criticisms of the 2030 Agenda, pointing out that its objectives include combating poverty, improving education, and protecting the environment. The presenter argued that these were reasonable proposals, while Abascal responded that the problem was not necessarily in the declared objectives, but in the measures adopted to achieve them.
"The problem is how all of this is implemented", stated the Spanish leader, before questioning the environmental regulations and taxes related to carbon dioxide emissions. He explained that these policies harm the competitiveness of European companies and particularly affect sectors such as agriculture, livestock, and industry.
