Overview

  • The Guardia Civil's UCO and Valencia's Anti-Corruption Prosecutor are investigating Vox councillor Juan Manuel Badenas for alleged prevarication, embezzlement, and falsification of documents.
  • Authorities are scrutinizing Badenas's €14,500 sponsorship contract with OK Diario and other contracts linked to companies allegedly affiliated with Vox.
  • The investigation has widened to include claims of espionage-related contracts and irregularities in Valencia Activa's payroll processes.
  • Despite calls from opposition parties PSPV and Compromís for Badenas's dismissal, Mayor María José Catalá has delayed personnel decisions to preserve her coalition's fragile majority.
  • The probe has disrupted Valencia's governance, with opposition leaders accusing the administration of prioritizing political stability over accountability.
