LGTBI hypocrisy as a weapon: Vito Quiles versus Sarah Santaolalla

"That piece-of-shit sick woman just attacked on public television the women I have had relationships with." The remark, made by Vito Quiles on Esdiario, sums up the latest chapter of the media circus between the journalist and contributor Sarah Santaolalla. The origin: an insinuation on public television about Quiles's romantic relationships, which Santaolalla amplified on social media, bragging that she knew his address, his phone number and even his lovers. The result: a exchange of accusations in which sensual orientation becomes political ammunition.

The left's arsenal: from respect to insult

The pogre left, which never stops talking about diversity and inclusion, has no qualms about using sensual orientation as a weapon when it suits it. Santaolalla, in a display of double standards, drops hints about Quiles's flings to discredit him. The same strategy that Echenique or former minister Montero used in private with the slur "plumón". Structural hypocrisy: those who organise talks on LGTBI respect use it as dirty ammunition in their internal wars.

Quiles's response: victim or strategist

Quiles presents himself as the victim of harassment that goes beyond the personal: "It is not enough for them to defame me, they also go after the people around me". But his track record of controversies and his constant presence in the digital trench make him just another actor in the theatre. Some analyses suggest that both figures live off exposure and noise, feeding a vicious circle that benefits their respective audiences.

The real cost: monotony and noise

Beyond the morbid spectacle, the debate reveals the degradation of public discourse: political discussion is reduced to schoolyard gossip, crowding out real problems. While Quiles and Santaolalla get tangled up in cross accusations, the country carries on. The question nobody answers: who actually wins from this show?
