General Plan had Pepe Rodríguez as the protagonist in its delivery issued on Friday, February 17. The cook spoke about politics in the interview space of La 2 and charged Pablo Iglesias.
Jenaro Castro, host of the format, asked him: "Imagine that there is a MasterChef program only for politicians. Who would you take and who would you leave preparing sandwiches outside?" The judge of the culinary 'talent show' of La 1 replied: "I think I would take everyone, to see if they would be able to put a little light. I think they all fit at the table. If there is something important in a restaurant, is that at that table we are all equal".
The cook then named the former leader of United We Can: "But fuck with Pablo Iglesias... He has come to touch the nose. You do have to let him make sandwiches off the table." The presenter noted: "I'm surprised you're so direct."
The guest stated: "I believe that there was a history in Spanish politics until certain characters appeared who have come to change so as not to change anything. So do not sell me what you have not fulfilled later."
"That's what television exists for, for the newspaper library. And I, who believed in those people and said: 'It's true, a new policy is needed... That caste that is already a little overused and hackneyed...' And They have come almost to be equally chaste. What a disappointment, what a shame," said the guest.
Castro later asked him: "What would you add to the family paella of Pablo Iglesias, Irene Montero and Yolanda Díaz?" The chef replied: "Damn, what a rice. Is that a rice three delights? It is not bad brought. It is a Chinese dish."
Pablo Iglesias responded through his social networks to the attack by Pepe Rodríguez. The former politician retweeted a video that a user shared with a fragment of the interview and added a few words. "Brother-in-laws who defend having interns in restaurants without charging. Telecinco? Antena 3? No, on your public television," wrote the former vice president of the Government.
The aforementioned clip not only included the statements of the Manchego in General Plan, but those of another interview in which he answered accusations of "laundering Vox" in MasterChef. "It is a national, plural program, where everyone enters," he said in 2022.
