The party founded by Pablo Iglesias has attacked this Friday against the cancellation of the Cadena Ser gathering in which its former leader participated despite being a “successful” space “with more than a million listeners”. “It was the only state-wide radio or television program in which there was a voice from Podemos,” as detailed in a message sent to the militancy by the leadership.
In it, the purple formation denounces that “it is evident that the invisibility” in the media that those who have “like-minded” to theirs “is a decision made a long time ago by those who have power”. They also maintain that “the other parties know that their ideas, their like-minded commentators and their spokespersons will be well protected and represented on Antena 3, La Sexta, Telecinco, La Razón, Abc, Grupo Prisa, etc.”.
“That is why we want to remind you that it is very important that we all support the few left-wing digital television that exists and also the only left-wing television that exists and that Pablo Iglesias and his team, Canal Red, have been able to launch,” they underline in the formation now directed by Ione Belarra.
It was Iglesias himself who reported via Twitter that the 25th Hour Agora will not continue next season. “I want to thank the network, Aimar Bretos, Víctor Olazábal and his entire team for the opportunity and for having taught me so much about radio,” he said in a message posted on his personal account..
In it, he also thanked the fellow members with whom he has shared this space over the last two years, former ministers José Manuel García-Margallo (PP) and Carmen Calvo (PSOE), who have “made an unusual type of debate possible which also had an enormous following”.
Sources from the Prisa Group have confirmed to Efe that the Ágora will no longer be there next season and they have normalized the decision because, as they have argued, the programming changes every year and sections appear and disappear.
Belarra, for her part, has also censored on Twitter the cancellation of this space of Ser. “After years of media siege, the strategy of power to silence Podemos is evident,” he wrote..
