Overview
- Vox notified the Congress that Javier Ortega Smith ceased as its Justice Committee spokesperson effective January 9, according to official filings.
- Deputy Juan José Aizcorbe, a former party manager who already fronts three other committees, has been appointed to the post.
- The change follows his November removal as deputy parliamentary spokesperson and his December ouster from Vox’s national executive.
- Ortega Smith remains a member of Congress because his seat is personal by law and he continues as Vox’s spokesman in the Madrid City Council.
- After the latest removal he vowed to “continue fighting” and criticized “ingratitude,” while the party has not publicly responded.
