• Politics Charges of Vox celebrate the replacement of Ortega Smith to stop the growing unrest: "We have very good feelings"

  • City Council Surprise in Vox Madrid due to the haste in the appointment of Ortega Smith and relief in the PP

Disembarkation in less than 24 hours.

Ignacio Garriga has been released this Friday as the new general secretary of Vox.

The also leader of the party in

Catalonia

has taken the witness from Javier Ortega Smith, from whom he has highlighted his "dedication" and "service" to the initials above the "palatial intrigues" that, according to Vox, the media are orchestrating about this relief.

A change that pleases the territorial leaders of the party - "We have very good feelings," regional leaders admit to

EL MUNDO

-, especially after the tensions generated between the Vox apparatus and Macarena Olona.

The former leader of the formation in Andalusia directly pointed to the one who is now a candidate for Mayor of Madrid and accused him of "lack of internal democracy" in Vox.

Some quarrels that for the new general secretary of the party are conspiracies that seek to discredit the dynamics of Vox, which this weekend celebrates its great annual political event.

An "orchestrated campaign", he has insisted, that collides head-on with the "climate of absolute normality" that has characterized the restructuring of the device: "A lot of time and a lot of ink is being spent typing strange things", he denounced.

Garriga appeared this Friday at a press conference at what will be his new headquarters: the party's headquarters in Madrid

's Calle de Bambú

.

There he has attended the media and has promised to "roll up his sleeves" from now on at the command of the formation, since Ortega Smith has left "the bar very high".

"Vox is stronger than ever, more united than ever," Garriga remarked to rule out "palace intrigues" that seek to "undermine" the party.

As he has assured, the change of position in the leadership of the formation has been carried out without problems or obstacles.

He and Javier Ortega Smith discussed the responsibility of the position this Thursday, as revealed during his attention to the press.

Garriga has been accompanied by several of the leaders of Vox, such as Rocío Monasterio or Iván Espinosa de los Monteros.

Ortega Smith himself was not present, who hours before had highlighted the "absolute normality" of the transition process between positions in an interview with

Telemadrid

.

In fact, Ortega Smith has also accused the media of "spending so much time trying to find divisions, confrontations and bad vibes in Vox."

Something non-existent, according to the new vice president of the party and candidate for Mayor of Madrid.
