Vox Replaces Ortega Smith as Deputy Congressional Spokesperson With Carlos H. Quero

The party says the switch elevates a housing-focused voice to amplify its agenda.

Overview

  • Vox confirmed that Málaga deputy and national housing lead Carlos H. Quero takes over as deputy spokesperson in the Congress.
  • Javier Ortega Smith keeps his roles as spokesperson on the Congress Justice Commission and as Vox’s spokesperson at Madrid City Hall.
  • The spokesperson team now consists of Pepa Millán as lead, with José María Figaredo, María Ruiz and Carlos H. Quero as deputies.
  • Vox framed the move as a way to give greater resonance to proposals addressing what it calls a housing emergency.
  • Reporting notes Ortega Smith’s influence inside Vox has waned after past leadership posts, with recent public divergences including attending the Atenea launch and taking his seat at the October 12 parade.
