García-Gallardo has left the policy in the same way he arrived, by surprise and wrong. If in January 2022 he appeared as a candidate for the Junta de Castilla y León without his party companions knowing his affiliation and existence, imposed by Santiago Abascal, his end in active policy has also come by surprise although it was ‘Vox Populi’ that He had stopped having a long time ago the national leadership of the party.
Vox sources point to Eldiaria.es that the internal confrontation between García-Gallardo and the current vice-secretary of Vox Government Action, Montserrat Lluis, has been decisive for the departure of his positions of which he was vice president of the Government of Castilla y León during two years. Lluis went from being a subordinated one who tried to control Gallardo during his stage as ‘Dircom’ of the Vox part in the coalition government in the PP, to his ‘boss’ as responsible for coordinating the actions of the party. His bad relations and the weight of Lluis on Bamboo Street, National Vox Headquarters, have been decisive in his abandonment, internal sources point out. Lluis has declined to respond to Eldiario.es about the departure of García-Gallardo from politics.
When in the spring of 2022 the PP agrees with Vox a new government under the presidency of Alfonso Fernández Mañueco after the electoral advance due Functions. He did not want to accept any counseling, something that his predecessors in office had done. If an anonymous lawyer from a well -known jurist from Burgos, Gallardo became vice president in command of the Vox part in the government, with three councils: culture, agriculture and industry and employment.
Then Montserrat Lluis arrived as ‘Director of Social Coordination and Interaction’ to the Junta de Castilla y León, a kind of communication director parallel to the officer, but occupying exclusively from the part of the extreme right in the regional government. Lluis arrived at politics when he accumulated a long experience in high -direction positions in media such as COPE and his editor or ABC. Signed by the National Directorate, one of his first missions was to ‘control’ García-Gallardo, paid to the controversy since his name was known as a candidate for homophobic tweets and against feminism or the PP. But the result was between scarce and null, every time the former vice president spoke, the controversy grew.
Gallardo has pointed out in the interview he granted to COPE after leaving the policy that his first confrontation with the National Directorate took place when he was taken from the direct negotiations with Alfonso Fernández Mañueco (PP) after the crisis for the anti -abortion protocol that he presented in January of 2023. It tried to impose new measures without having the powers in the matter causing a complaint of medical societies and a threat of the Government of Spain for trying to violate this right.
Vox sources point out that Gallardo did not follow the indications of the party that the Lluis herself transmitted, to reorient her political action and move him away from the controversy spiral. His passage through politics has been a collection of bulos, insults and generating controversy wherever he passed. His ‘great successes’ go through gestures of a fellatio to a socialist attorney; for his derogatory comments towards a parliamentarian with disabilities; accuse women of being “heartless” to stay custody of children; insult his predecessor Francisco Igea in parliamentary headquarters; Show your transphobia when the trans law is approved or link the lack of labor with alleged ‘Pagitas’. This, in addition to a farce of insults to PSOE positions such as the president of Asturias; refuse to define Franco as a dictatorship or call “young mans” film producers in the Goya. Or turn his resignation as vice president of Castilla y León, imposed by the party, into a xenophobic allegation.
That resignation of the regional government was another reason for confrontation with the direction of Santiago Abascal. Gallardo himself acknowledged not agreeing on the rupture of government agreements with the PP in the summer of 2024, which meant his departure from the Government to the Courts of Castilla y León, although he assumed the decision taken.
Montserrat Lluis had already left the Government of Castilla y León a year before the breakdown of the pact between PP and Vox. He left the position “at her own request”, which Vox sources point out as getting tired of not having been able to control Gallardo. After a failed attempt to accommodate the electoral lists of the general elections of the summer of 2023, Lluis stare in the National Directorate of Santiago Abascal as Vice Secretary of Government Action, responsible for coordinating the charges in the territories. He de facto became the boss of García-Gallardo after being before his subordinated. And the tensions did nothing more than increase between them, according to party sources.
The loss of the vice presidency caused García-Gallardo to also remain without an official car and without his own advisors. According to Vox sources, Gallardo tried to reposition as an advisor in the Courts of Castilla y León to José María Barrio Gil-Fournier, with whom he is related to the paternal branch and who was his main position of confidence in his time as vice president. The refusal of the national headquarters to this petition only increased the distance between the Burgos and the Madrid headquarters.
The departure of García-Gallardo’s active policy was made taking advantage of the other open crisis in the party in Castilla y León, which expelled two attorneys for Burgos and Salamanca, Ana Rosa Hernando and Javier Bernardo Teira, who had claimed more “internal democracy ” Vox accused him of refusing to sign the expulsions, but Gallardo denied the party pointing to Cope that despite not signing his departure he had his own motivations, without hiding his open confrontation with the National Directorate of Abascal. He spoke of “blackmail”, “dirty war” and “zancadillas” in the formation of the extreme right. Gallardo, in fact, rejected the primaries claimed by the expelled, in coherence with their own arrival thanks to the Abascal finger and caused friction with militants such as Hernando herself.
In recent times it was an open secret in the party that García-Gallardo was no longer the favorite of the direction of Santiago Abascal to continue leading the training in the community. His new strong man is Carlos Pollán, president of the Autonomous Courts and the main public office. With more docile and less thunderous profile than Gallardo, Pollán follows the instructions of the party when he The PP ends by riding another similar foundation but controlled from the regional government.
This Thursday Santiago Abascal has asked his militants and public positions to “stop looking at the navel”, in his first statements after the crisis open by Gallardo’s departure. Not to mention him, Abascal censored the attempts to “damage” Vox with the resignations of his positions pointing out that they are “instruments at the service of a greater good.” García-Gallardo has become an asset tweet in the social network X clarifying the points that he considers misrepresented about his departure from active politics, “we must continue supporting Vox. It is what I am going to do, for the sake of Spain. ”
