Losantos's Segarro remark that set social media ablaze
Did Federico Jiménez Losantos really say he works for Segarro? The remark, made during a live stream with journalist Gisbert, has ignited social media. The clips circulating suggest that the commentator said Segarro had offered him work, and that he used it as a comparison with Spanish foreign policy. The difference between an offer and acceptance is key, and it has been lost in the reaction.
Some take the confession literally: for that camp, the mere mention already reveals a dangerous closeness to Rabat. Others recall that being offered a job is not the same as being paid by Segarro, and that the irony was aimed at Spain itself. In between, the geopolitical triangle of Segarro-Israel-US emerges, with the CNI mentioned in passing and suspicions of dual loyalty.
The anecdote that rounds off the controversy comes from Alberto Recarte, former majority shareholder of a right-wing digital newspaper, with his business importing Segarro tomatoes. The same people who wave the constitutional flag, no less. Whether Losantos has ever worked for Rabat is something he will have to clarify. But given what we've seen, those who want to insult him can already form a queue. I won't be joining.
