Pedro Sánchez declines to answer this compromising question in 'El Hormiguero': "I don't get wet"

Seven years later, Pedro Sánchez attended El Hormiguero on Antena 3, one of the programs with the highest audience on Spanish television. "I have waited for the 1879 program because it commemorates the year of the constitution of the PSOE in Casa Labra," argued the President of the Government. And he has done it without shying away from almost any of the questions raised by the presenter Pablo Motos.

Sánchez has spoken about his legislative agreements, the reasons that led him to advance the general elections, the controversy surrounding the 'law of only yes is yes', the autonomous pacts between the Popular Party and Vox and about the need to "puncture the sanchismo bubble", which he defined as "a combination of lies, evil and manipulation".

The PSOE general secretary has not shied away from any question, except the one posed to him by the Trancas and Barrancas ants: "Team Shakira or team Piqué?" Sánchez has not wanted to take sides and has said so openly: "I don't get wet in that", and has distanced himself by saying that it is "more about basketball than football".

Trancas and Barrancas have also asked him what he would say to his daughter if she had a boyfriend from Vox, at the ideological antipodes of the PSOE and the government he presides over. "She would tell him that love is free," she replied.

In addition, the ants have asked him for advice for the opposition leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo, now that he is learning English: "Patience. And that he does not use the excuse that I have called elections on July 23. It is the typical one that we all said students when we weren't studying and the bull caught us".
