Shownotes

Cayetana Álvarez de Toledo is one of Spain’s most prominent political voices. A historian and journalist, she is a Member of the Spanish Parliament and a staunch advocate for democracy, freedom, and constitutionalism. Educated at Oxford, where she studied under Sir John H. Elliott, she transitioned from academia to journalism at El Mundo before stepping into politics. 

In this episode, she dissects the crisis of democracy in the West, the rise of nationalism, the evolving role of women in politics, and the growing tensions between free speech and identity politics. From Europe to Latin America, she offers a sharp and unfiltered perspective on the political forces shaping today’s world.
