Yolanda Díaz, an arithmetic question, by Josep Cuní

It was in the United States where they understood that a television talk show and political analysis on Sundays could have a double function: to close the news cycle for the week and mark the one for the following week. Thus was born ‘Meet the press’. He has been on the air for 76 years and is the oldest space on North American television. Shortly after its premiere on NBC, its two commercial rivals imitated the format to compete and influence both public and published opinion and monopolize journalistic consumption of the late breakfast on the weekly rest day.

In continental Europe it was the French who, much later, deduced that the best time to apply a similar formula it was sunday night. Adapting it to the sociology of the country, they not only took advantage of the high consumption and strong media pull of the family hour, but they also knew how to turn the statements of their guests into undisputed headline on Monday morning. Thus triumphed, for example, Anne Sinclair. Turned into an indisputable reference during the 80s and 90s of the last century, she gave way following his relationship with Dominique Strauss-Kahn, Minister of Economy, due to conflict of interest. She reappeared as a collateral victim of her husband’s sexual scandals and as director general of the IMF.

Not so long ago, between us, La Sexta opted for the historic trend international. And that’s how the protagonist of last Sunday came to dominate the political scene throughout this week.

Yolanda Díaz Pérez (Fene, A Coruña, May 6, 1971) began by testing the bittersweet taste of sitting in front of Jordi Évole and ends up savoring the honey of José Félix Tezanos. On her horizon, always, her colleagues from Podemos summarized in the person of Pablo Iglesias, that on Sunday he went to bed trying to digest a salad of wafers.

Those who appreciate her admit that Yolanda Díaz is calculating, patient and little impulsive. Those who hate her present her as an alligator capable of changing her skin to survive in the swamp. In any case, like Roberta Flack, He softly kills with his song. To add and to subtract.
