In the summer of that year she presented herself as a candidate for the mayorship of Marbella, creating the Yola Independiente Liberal (YIL) party, with the slogan "Marbella, because Yola is worth it."[9][10][11] Santiago Segura hired her in 2007 to work as a contributor to his program Sabías a lo que venías on LaSexta, where once a week she gave her personal opinion about books that she had previously read.
