César Vidal

César Vidal Manzanares, born 1958 in Madrid, is a Spanish radio host, lawyer turned historian and author. He hosted the radio show La Linterna on Cadena COPE from 2004 to 2009. That year he quit COPE to launch with Federico Jiménez Losantos a new conservative radio, esRadio. In 2013 he abandoned that project too, due to disagreements with Jiménez Losantos.[1]

He is also known for his views on Radical Islam, Spanish Civil War and José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero's administration. In his books about the Civil War La Guerra que Ganó Franco, Checas de Madrid and Paracuellos-Katyn. El Genocidio de la Izquierda, he gives revisionist views of the conflict that are at odds with mainstream historians, and which are shared by fellow conservatives like Pío Moa and Ricardo de la Cierva. In the latter book, Vidal provides an estimate of people murdered during the Spanish Civil War for practicing Catholicism. He has also claimed in his show that Islam and France have been Spain's main enemies throughout its history. He has the theory that May 68 was "a CIA operation to destabilize general De Gaulle",[2] believes Basque is a "primitive language",[3] and is skeptic about the theory of evolution.[4]

His detractors, including professional historians Ian Gibson and Ángel Viñas, accuse him of lack of rigor in his works, that often offer biased arguments. Vidal has been accused of misquoting historical sources and manipulating translations to support his own opinions.[5] [6] [7]

He has published (not exactly "written")more than 100 books. He also writes a column in newspaper La Razón, and used to publish a series called Misterios de la Historia in Libertad Digital. As of December 23, 2015 he owed €2,497,364.07 to the Spanish Treasury.[8][9][10][11]
