Así fueron las respuestas de Abascal a las "preguntas clásicas" que 'La Revuelta' no emitió

Santiago Abascal was willing to answer one of La Revuelta's signature personal questions, but not the other. Asked about money, he described his bank balance and mortgage payments. Asked about sex, he told host David Broncano to stop.

Spain's newspaper EL PAÍS published the exchange as a segment omitted from the television broadcast. Abascal leads Vox, Spain's far-right party; Broncano hosts the comedy talk show on public broadcaster RTVE.

When Broncano asks about his finances, Abascal says his income and assets are publicly declared to Congress. He puts the money in his jointly held marital bank account at €21,000 and says his savings go toward paying a mortgage. He then jokes that he and his wife could probably pay for one episode of Broncano's show.

The question about sexual activity over the previous month gets a different response. Abascal says his children and relatives may be watching. He explains that he understands the show's humor, but considers intimate matters private and does not discuss them publicly. Broncano accepts the boundary, and the audience applauds.
