Changes to Vox Valencian Community They will not stop with the replacement of Mother Vega from Alicante as trustee in the Cortes; He will be replaced in this post by José María Llanos, effective next January 1. The faction representing the most hardline and nationalist line took control of Santiago Abascal’s party, and politicians such as Ignacio Garriga, Jorge Buxadé or Ignacio de Hoces, all of whom came from the small circle close to the national leader, became the ones who mobilized the party. educational subjects. His power in the Valencian Community is reflected in figures such as the president of the Cortes, Llanos Massó, Ignacio Gil Lázaro, or the new ombudsman, the already mentioned José María Llanos.
They all know that the province of Alicante, where Vega continues to head Vox, has escaped the control of this majority current. It has always been closer to the liberal line and therefore Javier Ortega Smith and Iván Espinosa de los MonterosToday, both have fallen out of favor. For this reason, the ultra-conservative segment wants Alicante’s change not to be limited to the loss of the speaker in the regional parliament, but to ensure continuity in the provincial presidency. There are even those in the party who state that this change will not last long and that it may happen at the end of the Christmas period, between the end of January and the beginning of February. A defensive loss in the Alicante City Council and also outside the Alicante Provincial Council, as evidenced by the failure of Ana Vega and her closest relatives to take any positions in the Consell or the relegation of her husband Mario Ortolá as number one, which began to be seen a few months ago will stay.
It is stated in the Vox circle that the name of the ultra-conservative segment has not been mentioned in the state where the party assumes leadership and control in recent years. Vega and like-minded people, beyond the role played by other members of the formation, such as Manuel Mestre, a former lawmaker in Congress who is at the top of Orihuela’s list in the May 28 municipal elections. Therefore, the sector, which has now taken control of the ultra party, is looking for leaders in the state to oust Vega as president.
The first names that stand out on this horizon are Congress MP David García and Aurora Rodil, the municipal spokesperson in Elche. García had a record in the Cortes in the last legislative assembly and became a deputy in Congress after heading the list for the province of Alicante following the general elections held on July 23. This is one of the most important people Abascal’s confidence In the Alicante region, which means confirmation of Vox’s chance to become the new state president. When asked this question directly, he throws some things aside. He is aware that the state is working, but assures that he is doing so because of his status as a member of parliament, not because he aspires to succeed Vega as head of the ultra party.
García’s name is one of the most heard names these days, but some people claim that he is Abascal’s “military” and does not have the charisma to be president. Vox in Alicante. In addition, the names of the politicians closest to the ultra-Catholic profile are also discussed. In this context, Julia Llopis, a councilor of the People’s Party in the Alicante Municipal Council and currently a Vox MP in the Cortes, was appointed to the post, although she was rejected in principle. The name of Rodil, the municipal speaker in Elche, appears more strongly where the ultras are part of the government team led by the popular Pablo Ruz. The fact that it is the largest municipality they manage in the state is one of the arguments used to support Rodil’s options, whose relations with Vega are not very volatile.
MPs
Among the visible leaders of the ultraconservative sector in the Valencian Community that has taken control of Vox are the state presidents of Valencia and Castellón, Ignacio Gil Lázaro and Llanos Massó. president of the Cortesand the new ombudsman José María Llanos has deep roots among the political group of the regional Parliament, as it includes MPs such as David Muñoz, Joaquín Alés, Jesús Albiol, Miriam Turiel and Ana Bellver. There is such a divide in Vox that this sector is now considered the “bad wing” of the party by those whose windows have not been opened.
One of the most like-minded people Alicante The sector that took control was Ana María Cerdán, the party’s previous provincial president, who was replaced by Vega in 2019. But he is no longer in the pools to return to the position where García or Rodil have more options.
An emotional intervention as a farewell to Cortes
Ana Vega’s intervention in the Cortes this Tuesday was charged with emotion, although she told this newspaper on Tuesday that she would be where she believed her party would be most useful and flatly denied that her replacement as speaker by José María Llanos was a defense. and it had a clear taste of farewell. The woman from Alicante began her intervention at the session as follows: “Vox was heard for the first time on this platform with these words: I am honored to give voice to those who have not had this voice until now in this Parliament.” He announced that his speech to the Cortes this Wednesday would be a farewell. For this reason, she returned to 2019 and evaluated the work she had done through the education she received in recent years. “We defended Spain and the Spaniards, freedom, life and the common good,” he continued, before receiving the first round of applause. «I am very proud and I am sure that my principles and values will be defended. “The best is yet to come,” he concluded six minutes later, on the verge of tears.
