Overview

  • Guillermo Alonso del Real, former Vox spokesperson and first deputy mayor in Torrent, resigned from the party and joined the non-aligned group, citing conflicts with Vox's centralism.
  • The PP-Vox coalition, which previously held a slim majority with 13 seats, now controls only 12 of the 25 seats, leaving the administration in a minority position.
  • Vox's provincial leadership demanded Alonso del Real return his council seat, arguing it was won under the party's banner and cannot be ethically retained independently.
  • Alonso del Real has offered to continue overseeing his delegated responsibilities in Education and Sports if the mayor, Amparo Folgado, agrees, but his future role remains uncertain.
  • The opposition, led by the PSPV, has highlighted the situation as evidence of instability within the PP-Vox coalition, raising the possibility of a censure motion.
