"Do you remember that channel facha of Marcos de Quinto, that of Coca Cola, Toni Cantó and the Francisco Franco Foundation that they had in DTT?". With his personal style, laughing and with a bottle of Coca Cola in his hand, Pablo Iglesias announced on Monday the latest advance of Canal Red, the television that premiered a month ago and that is the culmination of his personal project to continue monopolizing the spotlight and controlling the agenda of Podemos after his departure from active politics.

"It was called 7NN and they wanted to be the Spanish Fox but they were ruined and had to close," he continues in a video posted on his Twitter account, "because I have something to tell you: now, their frequency on DTT is ours." "We have been hesitating about how to tell you this," he continues, "whether to tell you the Venezuelan way – a voiceover pronounces the famous 'exprópiese' of Chávez – if to tell you in a more classic and elegant way – and points to an image of the raising of the communist flag in the Reichstag in Berlin – or if we tell you that we are going to exhume the remains of the Franco Foundation from the valley of the five million lost by the shareholders of 7NN."

Power, money and revenge: this is how Pablo Iglesias' mud machine works

After a month of broadcast "in tests" on YouTube, and thanks to the contributions of its "thousands" of partners, Canal Red jumps to DTT although it will only broadcast in Madrid, on the same frequency in which, until the end of March, the extinct 7NN issued. "If you can no longer go out for five minutes to walk Marcos de Quinto without being squatted the frequency," jokes Iglesias in the ad, and stresses: "I hope there are no heart attacks in the Barrio de Salamanca or in La Moraleja."

"We are very excited that in the radio space of Madrid, a few weeks before the elections, the Ayuso and Almeida TVs have a competitor, small and modest, but who does decent journalism," says the former leader of Podemos, "yes, for us it is only the first step: we want to distribute our signal to other places and continue growing, because we are a TV for the whole State and also for Latin America." To do this, he asks his followers to "scratch their pockets": "We need you to continue growing."

In addition, Pablo Iglesias announces that "very soon" Canal Red will premiere an app for smart TV. "This has just begun and we have no roof," he threatens, and closes with a sarcastic: "Health and do not laugh at the fachas."
