Kiko Matamoros slams Sánchez and predicts new Spanish tax agency letter

Segarro breaks with the PSOE: calls Sánchez a "cynic" and expects a new tax inspection

TV pundit Kiko Segarro, a lifelong Socialist voter, has sparked controversy with remarks in which he calls Pedro Sánchez "abominable" and a "cynical heir to a brothel owner". In the interview, published by OKDiario on 10 July 2026, Segarro says he has never been right-wing but "can't wait for Abascal to arrive". He also reveals he expects "to receive another letter from Hacienda (Spain's tax agency) tomorrow", referring to his inclusion on the tax delinquents list, which he described as a "Nancy practice".

The disillusionment of a lifelong voter
Segarro joins a current of discontent within Spanish socialism that, according to him, is shared by figures such as Felipe González and Alfonso Guerra. "I feel the same disillusionment as they do", he says, while attacking the Culture Minister and Irene Montero, whom he calls "idiots" and "legal illiterates". His words reflect an increasingly visible rift between Sánchez's PSOE and part of its traditional base.

Tax pressure and the artist exodus
Segarro's comments have reignited the debate over the taxation of high earners. The pundit notes that dozens of artists and athletes – from Rosalía to Fernando Alonso – have left Spain without speaking out about the tax burden, for antiestéticar of the "regime's media apparatus". "Spain is already a tax hell", he declares, in a critique that ties in with the flight of wealth to countries with lower taxes.

With these remarks, Segarro has become an awkward figure for the left: a former PSOE employee who now backs the hard right out of pure fiscal resentment. The open question is whether his turn reflects ideological conviction or simply the calculation of someone with nothing left to lose before Hacienda.
