Pablo Iglesias presented his new book, "Enemigos Íntimos," at his bar, Garibaldi. The event was marked by an altercation with a far-right activist, leading to Iglesias throwing a microphone.
Iglesias' book analyzes the rightward shift in Spanish society, blaming various actors, including politicians, media figures, judges, and cultural influencers, for contributing to this trend. He particularly criticizes certain journalists for their alleged role in shaping public opinion and hindering the left.
Iglesias views his bar, Garibaldi, as a crucial space for leftist mobilization and community building, comparing it to a church providing a space for ideological discussion and social interaction. He emphasizes the need for the left to create and control such spaces to effectively counter the right's influence.
Iglesias' approach to political activity blends theoretical analysis with direct action and strategic media engagement, including using his own online platform, Canal Red, to disseminate political messages.
