Overview
- Writer David Uclés announced on social media that he would not participate after reviewing the full program and objecting to sharing a bill with José María Aznar and Vox figure Iván Espinosa de los Monteros.
- Izquierda Unida leader Antonio Maíllo also declined to appear, citing disagreement with the event’s title—'1936: La guerra que perdimos todos'—and a roster he said implies unacceptable equidistance.
- The XI Letras en Sevilla cycle is scheduled for 2–5 February at Fundación Cajasol, coordinated by Arturo Pérez-Reverte and Jesús Vigorra.
- Fundación Cajasol issued a statement saying the program aims to host all voices in a rigorous debate and reaffirmed confidence in the coordinators’ independence.
- Pérez-Reverte and Vigorra criticized Uclés for not notifying organizers before his decision and said he knew the lineup in advance, while the event continues with a diverse list of historians, cultural figures, and public officials.
