From electoral debates to Broncano's sofa: what is more profitable for politicians?

Recent audience figures for the entertainment show 'La revuelta' raise questions about the effectiveness of political leaders appearing on entertainment programs versus participating in electoral debates. Leaders like Pedro Sánchez and Santiago Abascal have achieved record viewership, suggesting that these formats can reach broader audiences. While debates require candidates to confront each other directly, entertainment shows allow politicians to present a more personal narrative. However, unexpected moments can still pose risks. Despite the rising popularity of entertainment appearances, electoral debates remain significant, as evidenced by high viewership during recent debates. The evolving media landscape indicates that both formats now compete for political influence.
