On the occasion of the General Elections to the Spanish Parliament, the Television Academy, commissioned by the two main parties, launched two debates between the two candidates for the presidency. Many of the protagonists of these two historic nights speak in this book about the importance of holding a debate at this level, after almost fifteen years without one being held, and how everything was organized in absolutely record time. Pío García-Escudero, José Blanco, Olga viza, Julián Santamaría, Pepe Carbajo, Pilar Socorro, Concha García-Campoy and Manuel Campo Vidal are some of the professionals who have contributed their experience. The book also collects impressions of how these types of debates are carried out in the United States, with testimony from correspondents and journalists who have experienced them intensely, such as Mamen Mendizábal, Indira García, Daniel Ureña, Pepe Quílez and Martí Anglada.
