Ibai Llanos and PSOE: Subsidies or Digital Cronyism?
Does streamer Ibai Llanos deserve the public money he receives for his events? The controversy resurfaces after accusations that his boxing nights, labeled "cultural", have received government subsidies. Added to this is the public support of several Socialist ministers for the content creator. Those who suspect an exchange of favors point out that it is not an isolated case: other influencers like Rosalía, Lola Índigo or chef José Andrés have seen their careers boosted after aligning politically.
The pattern of government influencers
The relationship between PSOE and certain entertainment figures raises doubts about the transparency of cultural aid. While some defend that Ibai's success is due to his work, others point to a network of digital cronyism that would include everything from the agenda of the current Secretary of State, Leire Díaz, to the promotion of events with no real cultural value.
What does the data say?
Beyond opinions, the facts show a pattern: several creators who have shown political sympathies have received subsidies or appearances at official events. The case of the boxing night, whose budget was high, has become the center of the debate on where everyone's taxes go.
In this country, talent is not enough. Perhaps the key to success is knowing who to cozy up to.
