On Wednesday, April 22, 2026, the Spanish television presenter known as Wyoming used his platform on La Sexta’s program “El Intermedio” to pose a reflective question to viewers: “Have you ever wondered where you would have liked to be born?” During the monologue, he shared his personal musings, stating that he sometimes imagines being Argentine due to his appreciation for football, meat, and his outspoken nature, saying, “I suppose I could be Argentine because I like football, meat and I don’t shut up even underwater.”
But, Wyoming quickly clarified that such speculation is ultimately meaningless, describing the idea of choosing one’s birthplace as “a nonsense” because nobody selects where they are born, comparing it to hair color as a matter of chance. He illustrated this point by humorously suggesting that if people could choose, everyone would be born with the face of actor Jacob Elordi and in the Spanish coastal town of Benidorm.
The presenter then shifted to a broader political critique, condemning policies that prioritize public resources based on national origin. He specifically criticized initiatives by the Vox party and the People’s Party in the Spanish regions of Extremadura and Aragón, calling it “outrageous” to distribute public aid and resources according to national priority, a practice he believes is spreading to other areas.
Wyoming argued that the slogan “Spaniards first” is a simplistic, toxic, and xenophobic idea that spreads like a plague, noting that it has become a political principle for Spain’s first and third-largest parliamentary parties. To emphasize his point, he drew a cinematic analogy, stating that Spanish politics has become increasingly distorted over time, much like the character in the film “Home Alone,” and questioned the logic behind exclusivist nationalism by asking, “What sense does it make to say ‘Spaniards first’?”
He further asserted that there are countless absurd ways to establish social priorities, all of which ultimately result in discrimination. For Wyoming, social benefits are not rewards for being born in a particular place but rights accessible to anyone who lives and works in a country. He reminded viewers that humans naturally move in search of better opportunities, citing historical examples of Spaniards who emigrated abroad to build their lives.
Concluding his monologue, Wyoming emphasized that a society’s value is not determined by the birthplace of its citizens but by its capacity to welcome and care for everyone, regardless of origin: “A society is not better because its citizens were born in a certain place; it is better because it is able to welcome and care for all its members, wherever they come from.”
