Santiago Abascal’s appearance on Monday was marked by his team’s request to manage audience attendance and the absence of La Revuelta’s usual humour. Ada Colau is due on David Broncano’s programme on Tuesday 10 November as the fifth political representative in its election-season series. RTVE invited representatives of the principal political forces after Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez called an early general election on 5 October, saying the invitations were intended to maintain a balance between political forces. The programme airs on La 1, RTVE’s state television channel.
By the programme’s count, Colau is its fourth interview in the election window because Irene Montero and Gabriel Rufián appeared together. Pedro Sánchez was the first guest, followed by the joint appearance of Montero and Rufián, then Abascal. Sánchez, Colau, Rufián and Montero accepted RTVE’s invitations, while Vox later agreed to take part. The pair’s exchange of pointed gifts aimed at Abascal and Feijóo was covered in an earlier report.
Colau accepted Broncano’s invitation in a post on X on 22 October, joking that she would bring pizza and referring to Feijóo’s comment that the programme was impossible to evict. She is a candidate for the Frente Amplio in the general election scheduled for 29 November. Royal Decree 806/2026, dated 5 October, dissolved both chambers of parliament and called the election. Voters will elect 350 members of the Congress of Deputies and 208 directly elected senators.
She has also appeared on Al cielo con ella, presented by Henar Álvarez on La 2 and RTVE Play. The interview addressed immigration, including border controls, the defence of public healthcare and the spread of hoaxes on social media.
After Colau’s appearance, Alberto Núñez Feijóo of the Partido Popular is the only named main candidate still to respond to Broncano’s invitation. The interview with Colau is scheduled to air from 21:55 on La 1 de TVE and on RTVE Play. The formal election campaign is due to begin at midnight on 13 November, with voting on 29 November. RTVE has also proposed a debate between Sánchez and Feijóo on 17 November, followed by a debate among party spokespeople on 23 November. A debate featuring Sánchez, Feijóo, Abascal and Colau is scheduled for 26 November.
