Vox surprises Alicante: appoints a new mayor against the city spokesperson
Vox in Alicante has signaled a notable shift in leadership within its local political framework. The party’s National Executive Committee has publicly confirmed a candidacy for a mayoral race in the municipality, signaling confidence in a figure described as bringing an alternative vision and a proven track record. This move is framed as a response to the upcoming local elections scheduled for late spring, with the party aiming to present a credible governance option grounded in experience and a focus on social issues. The announcement positions the candidate as a representative of fresh ideas coupled with a solid history of public service within the community. [Fuente: seguimiento de prensa local]
For months, the municipal group Vox has been active in Novelda, developing outreach and public engagement since 2019. The spokesperson for the new local leadership has emphasized continuity in neighborhood-level work and the aim to translate municipal concerns into clear policy initiatives. The person at the center of these efforts began life in Elche and has raised a large family. He has lived in Novelda for more than thirty years, weaving together family, business, and community involvement in a span that mirrors many residents’ experiences in the region. This long-standing residence helps anchor the candidate’s understanding of local needs and the practicalities of running a small-to-midsize community. [Fuente: prensa regional]
The unfolding political narrative in Alicante highlights how Vox intends to navigate local governance by combining a strong emphasis on social issues with a hands-on management style. The candidate has described themselves as someone who cares deeply about justice and the protection of rights, and who believes in effective leadership that can mobilize teams to reach tangible objectives. A background in accounting, taxation of companies, and senior business management underpins a pragmatic approach to public administration. Current studies in Political Communication and Leadership, together with another program in Election Law, are presented as a foundation for building informed, strategic policy proposals. This combination of professional experience and ongoing education is positioned as the basis for delivering competent governance if elected. [Fuente: notas de campaña]
Vox’s mother-in-law and IU’s son-in-law
In May 2019, this newspaper published a comprehensive report Margarita Serrano and her son-in-law, Jonatan Molina, are councilors of Izquierda Unidad in the neighboring town of Aspe.
The recent local elections in Medio Vinalopó brought into sharp relief the saying that extremists can converge on shared objectives. The mother-in-law and son-in-law were clear that people come first in politics, and that family ties should not hinder a practical, community-first approach. The report highlighted how personal relationships intersect with public life and how voters respond when familial connections influence political dynamics. [Fuente: informe regional]
IU nomination in Aspe: three women in top five positions
In the lead-up to the next polling day, Margarita Serrano’s son-in-law is unlikely to be reinstated as a member of parliament. Having served multiple terms in Social Services, Youth, Children, Housing, and Citizen Participation, IU’s list places him at the 16th position in the candidacy. This configuration reflects broader regional debates about representation, policy focus, and the balance of power among local parties. The ranking suggests a deliberate strategy to blend experience with new energy in the broader coalition framework that shapes local governance trajectories. [Fuente: crónica electoral]
