Verdict or propaganda? The TV show splitting viewers in Spain

A 'verdict' that convinces no one

A Spanish television show calling itself "Hay sentencia" has sparked a wave of criticism on social media over its lack of credibility. Viewers openly call it propaganda funded with public money, comparing it to a rigged trial. The mentions of José Luis Ábalos and the host Ruiz are no accident: the format seems to emulate a people's court, but with a bias many find unbearable.

The shadow of public funding

Accusations that the show is financed with public funds have been constant. "It's called propaganda," one user sums up, while another quips: "The Caso Cerrado show is more believable than this taxpayer-funded sanchista propaganda." The reference to Ábalos —who was once investigated for corruption— serves to discredit the hosts, suggesting they apply a double standard.

The generational clash underneath

Between one criticism and the next, the thread drifts into a debate about the situation of young people. While some claim they "have never had it better," others point out that pogre is not uniform: "In some ways they live better, in others worse." Irony sets the tone: "No need to save up to travel to Africa anymore, they just have to go down to their own neighborhood."

The show "Hay sentencia" has achieved the opposite of what it set out to do: uniting the audience in distrust. Between political jabs and sarcasm, the only consensus is that the format has zero credibility. And meanwhile, the jury —made up, according to one comment, of 80% retirees— looks more like a joke than a court.
