LaSexta just showed up this Thursday ‘unexpected encounters’ Between personalities from very different areas of society In last night’s delivery, Mamen Mendizabal together in the same place Samantha Hudson, Judit Masco, Juanma Lopez Iturriaga and Manuela Carmena to exchange ideas about new ways to relate on an emotional level.

Throughout the evening, Madrid’s former mayor insisted on the importance of sex education, recalling that when he was younger he never got any “talk” about it, neither at home nor at school: “Absolutely never. It was unthinkable”. “The priest I confessed told me I was too sensitive and couldn’t go to the dance because it was too dangerous”Surprised Samantha Hudson and other guests.

At another time, Mendizábal showed a headline stigmatizing a sex education workshop where plasticine penises and vaginas were viewed as “a major scandal”. “While we were in town hall, it seemed important to us to conduct a survey to find out what the sexual practices of the youth were. It was a scandal, The Community of Madrid refused to forward this survey to all institutes. We wanted to make a policy of helping adolescents,” Carmena recalls.

Judit Mascó later pointed out that she was “too modern” for her age, words that caused the capital’s former mayor to recall an anecdote with Queen Sofia. “One day the honorary queen came and accompanied me to an exhibition,” he began, before imitating the monarch: “He said to me in the elevator, ‘Hey, mayor, you’re old like me, but you’re so modern.’ He made me so funny, he was such a nice guy”.
