"Today is my last plenary session." "It has been an honor for me to serve Spain from the front line of the PP and from this moment I put myself at the disposal of the Spaniards as one more militant." With these words Teodoro García Egea has announced that he leaves the act of deputy and goes on to dedicate himself only to the private sector, a year after the fall of Pablo Casado that also dragged him down.

The deputy García Egea entered 6,700 euros, because to his position as deputy he added the presidency of the Road Safety Commission. It is not a shining position, far from it. Its last meeting was on November 30 and there were no forecasts of others, as reported by EL MUNDO on February 26. This is not an impediment, however, for the members of its Bureau to charge the bonus stipulated in the Economic Regime of the Chamber and that, in the case of García Egea, is the highest due to his status as president. Thus it reached 6,700 euros.

The decision to leave Congress, advanced minutes before, is precipitated on the same day that he has presented his book on 'Cryptoeconomics'. "I have a professional challenge outside the front line" of politics, he said, so he will not be able to focus "100%" on his parliamentary activity and leaves it.

"I focus 100% on my professional activity from teaching and research; I will serve from the private world you can serve Spain and also there things can be changed, "said the former number two of Pablo Casado.

"I have worked for the interest of Spain and now I open a new stage," said García Egea, who has been moved to thank his wife for being by his side these years, "which have been very hard." "You have to choose in life and I choose to focus on my professional activity," he insisted.
