Overview
- Organizer Arturo Pérez‑Reverte confirmed the event will run in Sevilla from October 5 to 9 with David Uclés excluded.
- Uclés refused to participate after rejecting the slogan “la guerra que perdimos todos” and not wishing to share a bill with José María Aznar or Iván Espinosa de los Monteros.
- Following Uclés’ decision, other invitees also withdrew, prompting the initial postponement before the new dates were set.
- Appearing on La 1’s La Revuelta, Uclés joked that one cannot be vetoed from an event one does not plan to attend and sent a conciliatory message to Pérez‑Reverte.
- Opinion columns used the episode to argue over polarization and so‑called cancel culture, while Uclés in a separate interview warned that fascism today has “many whitewashers.”
