The torrijas debate only satisfies those most punished by the polls: Juan Marín and Teresa Rodríguez

• Elections 19J A lesson on masturbations and brothels: what the 'decisive debate' gave of itself

A derogatory comment by Macarena Olona against Juan Marín, ridiculing the video that the Ciudadanos candidate recorded at home making torrijas in the hard weeks of confinement, gave rise to one of the most refreshing moments in the intense

of the Andalusian candidates held this Monday on Canal Sur.

Marín responded with a sense of humor to the attack by Vox's head of the list, showing off her torrijas and self-assuredly asking Olona if she knew how to make them.

And Teresa Rodríguez joined the

, demonstrating complicity between the two ideological blocs in the common goal of cornering the populist right.

"Save me some [torrijas] for Kichi," the Cadiz woman told Marín, completely dislodging the Vox candidate and it was no longer easy for her to recover the thread of her speech.

Marín entered the debate on Monday pulling irony.

And, hours later, he stretched the joke by summoning the press to a

, which has somehow become a metaphor for Ciudadanos' strategy to avoid being defeated by the polls and stop Vox's entry into the Andalusian Government .

"We are the useful party; the decisive vote. With us, the Andalusians guarantee that there will be no mess after

. We are the safe vote. The only ones who have clearly explained to the Andalusians what we are going to do with their vote", affirmed this Tuesday Marin while taking a bite of the candy.

"This one is for Olona," he insisted, and then promised to send some torrijas to Teresa and Kichi, "because I love them both very much."

Without a doubt, Marín and Rodríguez are the two candidates that are most satisfied with the results of the two debates held on public television, the first on

and the second on

.

The Ciudadanos candidate is embarking on a campaign for survival, with the polls against him, to the point of doubting that the

party , which has co-governed Andalusia for the last three years, could be left without representation in the regional Chamber.

Marín insisted on Tuesday that his goal is to have a parliamentary group and that if he gets only one deputy, he will leave politics.

"I'll go home," he repeated.

Teresa Rodríguez, for her part, managed on Monday to defend her role as the only party that does not await instructions from Madrid to design its strategy and make political decisions.

Faced with the inflation of the Andalusian discourse in this campaign, Rodríguez distances himself from the rest of the political forces precisely in his condition of being the only party based in Andalusia.

This Tuesday she insisted on that idea criticizing the "branchism in Andalusia" that in her opinion was evident in the debate on Canal Sur

The PP candidate, Juanma Moreno, who came out of the first television debate practically unscathed, found this second meeting of six more difficult to deal with because practically all his interlocutors asked him (unsuccessfully) to rule on a hypothetical pact with Vox.

And the one who insisted the most in that sense was Olona herself, who physically extended her hand to him in a staging that caused Moreno discomfort.

This Tuesday, the PP was satisfied with having passed the test without having left too many

All the parties have highlighted their clamorous silence on future agreements, despite the fact that Moreno opened the door to explore all the options to his right and left in correspondence with the "plurality" of Andalusian society, which comes to say that he will negotiate to various bands.

The PP-Vox pact is not the only possible one, they repeat.

The popular ones are trying to quickly turn the page on the debate and, if on Monday they launched a campaign to try to prevent Andalusians from going en masse to the beach on Sunday, this Tuesday the objective of their strategists is to clarify to Andalusians that in order to vote for Juanma Moreno there is to take the Popular Party ballot paper "although Juanma's name does not appear on it".

The President of the Board is presented by the province of Malaga and only by the province of Malaga.

That is to say, as is logical, Moreno does not lead the lists in the rest of the constituencies.

And his campaign has been so personal, so much have the signs of identity of his party been hidden, that the PP now fears that the voters who vote outside of Malaga do not know very well which ballot they have to take to support Moreno.

A boost to popularity

For the socialist Juan Espadas and for the candidate of Por Andalucía, Inma Nieto, their mere participation in the debate is a boost in terms of popularity given that, saving the distances between the two, neither of them is too knowledgeable among the voters in this campaign.

This Tuesday, Espadas trusted the "comeback" because he is convinced that Olona's radical speech has achieved "that not a single progressive vote remains in his house" next Sunday.

Inma Nieto, for her part, began her intervention in the television meeting by introducing herself.

What for others is a protocol formula in it is a necessary exercise, given the uncertainty that continues to exist due to the diversity of political brands with which the left concurs in these elections.

Teresa Rodríguez has combated confusion by putting her face on the ballot papers for Adelante Andalucía.

While IU and Podemos try to make it clear to their electorate that they are behind Inma Nieto's candidacy by multiplying the interventions in the campaign of their leaders.

This Tuesday, Por Andalucía celebrates its main act in Dos Hermanas together with three ministers of United We Can: Ione Belarra, Alberto Garzón and Yolanda Díaz herself, under whose sponsorship Nieto presents himself without complexes.
