Overview
- The letter follows his December 22 removal from Vox’s National Executive Committee, proposed by secretary general Ignacio Garriga with Santiago Abascal’s approval and backed by all members except Ortega Smith.
- He alleges the committee voted his expulsion in under two minutes without reading the report and characterizes the CEN as merely decorative.
- He disputes the cited grounds for his ouster, including a trip to Torrelavega, media convocations at Madrid’s Colón and the Hortaleza minors’ center, criticism of Valladolid’s low-emissions zone, and an alleged collaboration with the PP that he calls “delirious.”
- He claims dissent is punished inside Vox and says personal defamation on social media is being used to destroy the reputations of figures deemed inconvenient.
- He pledges to remain a party member, Madrid city council spokesperson, and national deputy, promising to press his positions in public, in the media, in court, and in institutions after months of demotions and relegation in Congress.
