Vox impone al PP candidatos “independientes” al Senado muy vinculados a los ultras: de la exjefa de prensa de Ortega-Smith a un ‘exconseller’ de Mazón
Los ultras han renunciado a presentar listas en 14 circunscripciones en favor del Partido Popular a cambio de introducir sus aspirantes
The People's Party (PP) will include figures from Vox in their Senate lists as part of the pact between the two formations in the upper house. On the night of Monday, the final day to register the names of candidates for the 29th general election, the People's Party announced who will be their "independent" candidates included in their nominations as part of this agreement with the far-right.
These appointed candidates are far from truly independent, as most of them are closely linked to the formation of Santiago Abascal. Among them, Alba Moreno, ex-journalist of Javier Ortega-Smith; José Luis Aguirre, a Valencian parliamentarian who was the chief of staff of the coalition government of ultra-conservative leader Carlos Mazón, and Enrique García-Maiquez, a member of the Disenso foundation who had previously run as an independent for Vox.
