On November 10, 2026, David Broncano spoke to La Sexta about his interview with Santiago Abascal. He stated he regrets many things about the interview, admitting he should have used his usual comedy to counter Abascal's points. Broncano criticized the decision to allow Vox to choose the studio audience, noting it created a biased atmosphere. He felt uncomfortable and failed to rebut statements with the necessary speed, saying the interview lacked the balance expected of a political segment. "Me tiré toda la entrevista diciendo la he cagado, me he equivocado, he pensado que era buena idea, pero la he cagado," he said. He also recalled telling himself, "Tío, eres tonto, lo has hecho mal. Esto no tiene sentido." Regarding Abascal, he said, "Con Abascal me arrepiento de muchas cosas. Posiblemente tenía que haber utilizado la comedia más, como hago siempre, pero era complicado." Broncano's stance was critical, Abascal was neutral, and Vox was critical.
