Overview
- Union representatives found the office lock broken and say security-camera footage shows councillor Juanma Badenas with two others entering, filming and searching the space.
- The Sindicat d'Estudiants posted images and video on social media, lodged a judicial complaint and called for Badenas to resign immediately.
- The local is rented from the City of Valencia under a multi-year collaboration program for social groups, raising questions about municipal property access and legal responsibility.
- Coverage so far quotes the union and opposition parties calling for prosecution and removal from office, and the articles do not include a public response from Badenas, Vox or city officials.
- Badenas is a Vox councillor who served as the party’s 2023 candidate and former spokesperson, and the case could prompt judicial probes and political demands for his dismissal.
