During a broadcast of En boca de todos, a dispute unfolded on the set involving two councilors from the Calasparra City Council in Murcia. The confrontation was captured as Nacho Abad questioned one guest about alleged homophobic insults, and after persistent probing, pressed him to offer a live apology.
After a tense exchange, Nacho Abad managed to unsettle Javier Jiménez Sánchez, a member of the Popular Party, with comments that appeared to push him toward retracting his statements. The woman involved, identified as Andrés Martín, publicly condemned the exchange, recounting how her partner was subjected to terms like chick, mary carmen, nonsense, eat shit, and stupid, among others that carried a dismissive tone.
The PSOE councilor defended his behavior by claiming his words reflected a longstanding line of commentary within his political circle. He argued that the term chick is sometimes used to refer to newcomers in politics, a justification that prompted further pushback from the interviewer and audience alike.
With rising tension, Abad challenged the guest to acknowledge responsibility for his language. The guest refused to accept fault, and a backup from Diego Losada attempted to intervene by sending a note stating that there is value in communicating gracefully and avoiding phrases that could hurt others, even when the same standard is not always applied by all participants. The message emphasized a call for more mindful dialogue.
Eventually, the presenter reached a breaking point and announced the end of the interview. He stated that no agreement could be reached and that he would not permit a delayed apology to stand as the conclusion of the conversation. The councilor briefly faced the camera again, offering forgiveness on screen as the segment drew to a close, while the program signaled the resolution of the moment for the live audience.
