María Muñoz is leaving Ciudadanos. The Valencia MP in Congress announced on his Twitter account yesterday that he was resigning from the orange party, just days after learning about the election progress and the Liberals’ decision not to run in the general election after the 28M disaster.
Muñoz, who has already declared that he will leave his seat with the dissolution of the General Courts, also confirms that he is leaving a formation that is at serious risk of disappearing after numerous failures at the ballot box. In the Community of Valencia, it has been hibernating since Sunday.
Muñoz assured this newspaper yesterday that he would return to his private activities, but voices are growing connecting him to the PP, arguing that “there is only one possible option to change the country” before 23J, especially after the generals’ advance. ” was interpreted as a clear nod to the popular formation. Besides serving in the two legislatures in Congress, Muñoz was the regional coordinator of Ciudadanos in the Community of Valencia, until the conclusion of the re-establishment undertaken by the orange party at the end of the year, a process for which he was extremely critical. .
As a member of Inés Arrimadas’ hard core, he was part of the group known as the G-8 that piloted that orange clean sheet, but walked away after criticism from a Ciudadanos spokesperson in Congress.
The Valencia MP at the time supported Edmundo Bal’s list, but resigned from the candidacy, breaking his intention to quit politics after that and return to his professional life before the end of the legislature. “I promised my colleagues and those who trusted me that I would up to 28 million in my loyalty,” he wrote on social networks after the local elections. Stories begin and end.
Then, with Mamen Peris being promoted to regional leader of the C’s, Muñoz also resigned from his position as regional coordinator. Like Edmundo Bal and other members of the Ciudadanos parliamentary group in Congress, Muñoz criticized the decision of the leadership of Patricia Guasp and Adrián Vázquez not to submit lists in the July elections.
