The Spanish political party Vox is experiencing leadership transitions and internal changes across various regions. In Alcalá de Henares, Antonio Peñalver resigned as a city councilor and CEO of Alcalá Desarrollo for personal reasons, reducing the party’s presence in the local PP-Vox coalition government. His departure reduces the number of Vox councilors in the municipality from three to two, with Alba Moreno Santa expected to fill the vacancy. In Toledo, Inés Cañizares, a former national deputy and deputy mayor who has been a critic of the party leadership regarding transparency and financing, announced she will not seek re-election as mayor in the 2027 municipal elections. Additionally, the party has appointed Marcela Reigía Vales, a Madrid-based lawyer, to lead the congressional candidacy for the province of Cáceres for the general elections on November 29. Local sources in Extremadura noted they were unfamiliar with her appointment, as she lacks documented professional or public ties to the region. Further shifts in electoral strategy include the selection of candidates facing scrutiny. In Murcia, Aida Peñalver, the coordinator of the Vox parliamentary group in the Regional Assembly, has been named a candidate for the Congress of Deputies. Peñalver is currently under judicial investigation for alleged document forgery and identity theft related to the unauthorized use of a digital signature. In Tarragona, the party has selected Jordi de la Fuente to lead union-focused efforts. A former leader of organizations with ties to neo-fascist movements, De la Fuente is part of a strategic attempt to appeal to unionized workers through a platform of national identity and social protectionism.
