Far from maintaining a position of neutrality vis-a-vis the different candidates, he also publicly mocked Abascal after he decided to cancel his participation, calling him a “Korean cagoneta”.
The publications raised questions about the “verification system” announced by Jordi Wild for his electoral interviews, in which he had promised to have two independent journalists responsible for verifying the candidates' statements.
