Ana Rosa Quintana opened the program on a Thursday with a sharp look at the government’s control session, a moment shaped by controversial remarks that had sparked yesterday’s headlines. Irene Montero challenged the opposition when she framed their criticisms as an endorsement of a troubling culture, a charge she aimed at the People’s Party. Meanwhile, Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska stood firm, reiterating that no lives were lost in the Melilla incident that occurred on Spanish soil last June.
During this turbulent backdrop, Telecinco’s morning anchor did not hesitate to press the two leaders. He suggested that two ministers in the executive were deeply affected by the proceedings, noting that Irene Montero and Fernando Grande-Marlaska faced their hardest moments yesterday in Congress as they were pressed to resign. The reaction from both, he observed, was to direct their fire at the opposition.
Quintana then shifted focus to Irene Montero, highlighting a perceived gap in Spain’s political culture: a lack of willingness to step down when things go wrong. She pointed out that the Minister of Equality shifted from critiquing political violence to engaging in confrontations, and she suggested that the law Promoting Yes-only interpretations had the effect of shielding certain perpetrators while attacking those who present the contrary data.
Montero was portrayed as reaffirming a stance that the opposition had framed as endorsing a culture of rape. The host asserted that this term, though recognized in UN terminology, should not be used to accuse the opposition of promoting such a culture. The program also directed blunt critique at the United We Can coalition, arguing that the so‑called rape culture shifts the burden onto victims and has not included the necessary public apologies for failures to address the issues raised.
The commentator concluded with a stark progression: first journalists, then lawyers, then judges, and now the opposition. The data, in his view, weighed heavily on Montero and Grande-Marlaska, painting them as the most isolated members of a government whose stability appeared to be slipping. In his assessment, they stood as the most visible symbols of a cabinet that seemed more fractured than at any time since coming into office.
