Tense clash between Susanna Griso and Beatriz de Vicente on 'Espejo Público' over the list of Interior journalists: "It really gets to me"

El Periódico Mediterráneo - General9 September 2026 at 16:18

The Spanish Ministry of the Interior prepared a list of journalists classified by ideology, which has generated strong controversy in recent hours. Presenter Ana Rosa Quintana was one of the first to criticize the document, classifying it as censorship. The list, which organizes communication professionals according to their political orientation, sparked division among different sectors of Spanish society.

The most recent confrontation occurred on the program 'Espejo Público', where presenter Susanna Griso and guest Beatriz de Vicente had a tense exchange on the topic. The discussion focused precisely on the controversy caused by this internal document from the Ministry of the Interior, which, according to the report, classifies journalists according to their ideology.

Reactions to the list are polarized. On one side are those who question the purpose and legitimacy of creating such a registry of communication professionals, considering it an attempt at control or stigmatization. On the other side are those who defend that there is nothing harmful in documenting the ideological positions of public figures in a government internal file.

The debate remains open and has mobilized both the journalistic and political worlds in Spain, with increasingly more voices demanding explanations about the origin and real purpose of this list prepared by the Ministry of the Interior.
