Books

On 14 April 2015, Jesús Cintora published in Editorial Espasa-Calpe La hora de la verdad [The Moment of Truth]. It is the first time that leaders of the new generation in politics, like Pedro Sánchez Pérez-Castejón, Pablo Iglesias Turrión, Albert Rivera, Alberto Garzón or Pablo Casado Blanco were interviewed for a book. Some of the characters that the journalist signed for television, such as Miguel Ángel Revilla, Sor Lucía Caram and Pedro J. Ramírez also participated. The foreword is by Iñaki Gabilondo, who describes the author in this way: 'Jesús Cintora, a young journalist of Soria whom I met on Cadena SER. His personality and flair were obvious. His informality, his brazenness and expressive simplicity fits like a glove with the newly released demands of transparency, freshness and audacity'.[17]
