2017 December 31, “Carlos Peña reflota debate sobre polémico concepto de “fachos pobres” tras las elecciones”, in Emol:A su juicio, esto muestra que "en ciertos sectores de izquierda (especialmente quienes tienen o presumen tener origen burgués, y para quienes ser de izquierda es como una pose, o un apostolado, o una forma de voluntariado, que viene a ser casi lo mismo) impera el peor de los paternalismos: la creencia de que la gente de origen popular, cegada por su ignorancia, por sus torpes anhelo, entontecida por la publicidad o sus pobres ambiciones, no sabe lo que quiere y al momento de elegir traiciona sus propios intereses".- (please add an English translation of this quotation)
