My analysis of Josep Borrell speech during the interview is that: --- Borrell comes before the audience doing a poor defense of the Spanish State under an intensive critic. His speech is not effective against the factual citing by Sebastian (the interviewer of Conflict Zone) of several opinions by authoritative institutions and personalities. The results is a week PERSUASION as Borrell stays detached keeping his argument a single one: Let the judges decide. Josep does not present neither a compelling NARRATIVE nor alludes to VALUES SHARED by the audience to try to get some effect on the audience already influenced by all the numerous Tim’s hard questions and citations of authoritative figures with strong precise criticism of the Spanish government. Tim Sebastian NARRATIVE is a lot tricky but effective: “grandmother of more than 60-year-old kept in an isolation prison cell when not convicted” (Conflict Zone’s HISTORY IN A CAPSULE).
