Ana Rosa Quintana changed her white-body glasses for red-body ones: she received Pedro Sánchez, a very dangerous red. The journalist dressed in white (like on Tuesday with Feijóo and on Thursday with Yolanda Díaz) for claiming an image of political neutrality before those who accuse her of partisanship and before a Pedro Sánchez who continues to insist that 90% of programs and gatherings ( “and I fall short!”) row to the right. Total, that in their televised confrontation Ana Rosa Quintana and Pedro Sánchez were looking for the same thing: each one to defend their own image.
Pedro Sánchez began by making an effort to distance himself from the stereotype of a liar for having broken his electoral promise to never agree with either Bildu or Podemos: regarding Bildu, he argued that he has not agreed, since he has only arranged some specific support; and about Podemos he argued that it prevented them from accessing the most sensitive areas, such as the Treasury, Social Security and Energy: first volley returned.
Then came his quick and relentless kick: he has made ugly those who have labeled him a "philoetarra, coup plotter, obsessed with the Falcon and obsessed with power", a phrase he said looking straight into the eyes of Ana Rosa (some of his commentators write those things), and also deplored that Feijóo called him “that character” the day before on that same set (here he quoted an inspired Fernando de los Ríos: “the only pending revolution in Spain is that of respect”). Sánchez did not manage to get Quintana to apologize, but he did elicit a sentence of great importance: "I agree with you on many things."
“On many things I agree with you!” This phrase by Ana Rosa Quintana is worth three hundred thousand electoral posters for Pedro Sánchez: they are the viewers who have seen his admired Ana Rosa validate to a certain extent the President of the Government who raises pensions (for them) and salaries (for their children and grandchildren ). Some Ana Rosa commentator (Eduardo Inda, Isabel San Sebastián...) must still have a rash due to the generous benevolence of his boss and the sweet tricks of Sánchez: "I sincerely thank you for this question," he repeated, and he added... "but let me tell you, Ana Rosa..." And she left him.
"Leave him alone, he's comfortable," Ana Rosa questioned the president's team, who was looking at the clock (the president's team, not the president). Ana Rosa, a businesswoman after all, was happy to see him expatiate, to have a whole president of the Government in her living room (after four years without paying him a visit). And she left him, left him. Sánchez even had time to defend his wife-"and you know her, Ana Rosa"-from an insidiousness of being... a drug trafficker!
