Teodoro León Gross, Rubén Amón, Ketty Garat, Juan Soto Ivars and Estefanía Molina in conversation

The singling out of the media has become a hallmark of populism. Trump branded journalists as the No. 1 enemy of the people, linking them to the establishment. Indeed, the attack on the press and the courts - with the very doctrine of 'lawfare' or judicial dirty war - is inseparable from the populist drift that has eroded the standards of liberal democracy.

The Andalusian journalist Teodoro León Gross will talk about this complicated relationship between journalism and politics with four outstanding professionals of his profession: Juan Soto Ivars, Ketty Garat, Estefanía Molina and Rubén Amón. León Gross has collaborated with newspapers such as El País, El Mundo and ABC and the different newspapers of the Joly Group in Andalusia. He currently directs and presents the news program Mesa de análisis, on Canal Sur Televisión. Soto Ivars, recent winner of the Jovellanos 2024 International Essay Prize for La trinchera de letras, has become one of the most widely read columnists in Spain. He has published novels, essays and a children's book, and collaborates with media such as Onda Cero, Antena 3, El Confidencial and elPeriódico. Garat is The Objetive's journalist of reference for everything that happens in Moncloa and the PSOE. She is the author of Bajo las alfombras del Congreso and collaborates in different radio and television media. Molina is a political analyst, journalist, and writer who contributes to various television and radio programs and writes for El País; she is the author of Berrinche político. Amón is a writer and journalist with a long career that includes his chronicles as a correspondent in the Balkan War; he collaborates in Onda Cero, with Carlos Alsina, and Antena 3 and writes in El Confidencial and is the author of a dozen books.
