Why did the change occur?
This is due to a regional problem. The spokesman has been in Alicante for more than four years and is now moving to Valencia to give it the necessary weight. The decision was made by the national leadership. These were very busy years.
Do they think the province of Alicante is depreciated?
I won’t go that far. I was told that giving more emphasis to Valencia was a regional issue. Vox’s statement was very brief and they did not give me any further explanation. I’m a soldier and that’s it. I would have no problem saying more if I knew. José María Llanos didn’t say anything else either.
Is this a retaliation for his support of Ortega Smith and the rise of religious extremists?
Not at all, and what’s more, I have always been and always will be where the party thinks I am most useful.
Why is the change being made now?
I don’t know this either. I think the national resolution is to start the new year with a change of trustees.
How do you evaluate the loss of power in Vox in terms of the province of Alicante?
I’ve always said that one of the reasons I joined Vox was because I don’t believe in autonomy. Yes, we are a provincial party, we believe in the provinces very much. I am here to work for Alicante, which has always been harmed by the state and within the Valencian Community. I will defend the Spaniards and, above all, the people of Alicante. I hope I have risen to the occasion and will continue to do so as deputy speaker.
In a short time, it went from six female trustees to four spokespeople…
From my point of view this has no value, it is a matter of coincidence and coincidence. We do not believe in differences between men and women. Relays need to happen from time to time and each one proves their worth regardless of gender.
What will your next steps be?
I continue my duty as deputy speaker and will also serve as the parliamentary group chairman. I will continue to work to defend my principles and values, that’s why I came here. The faces change, but the project is the same.
