Juanma Badenas Reinforces Vox's Discourse in Valencia Against 'wokism'

VOX's spokesperson in Valencia City Council, Juanma Badenas, has reaffirmed his commitment to the cultural battle that his party has launched across the country. In his latest statements, Badenas has criticized the influence of so-called "wokism" and has accused both the left and the People's Party of having allowed it for years.

"With arrogance and a cultural war imposed by the left and wokism for decades, PP has let it happen and continues to make agreements with them on many issues. Therefore, VOX is necessary everywhere, in Spain, in every autonomous community and, especially, in Valencia City Council," Badenas stated. His words reinforce his party's discourse, which seeks to consolidate its presence in municipal politics and distance itself from its government partners.

Since his arrival at the council, Badenas has advocated for a change in local policies, focusing on the defense of traditional values and rejecting what he describes as the "sectarian hegemony of nationalist left." His stance aligns with VOX's national strategy, which maintains a critical discourse against institutional feminism, democratic memory policies and diversity initiatives promoted by previous governments.

VOX's spokesperson has been one of the most combative voices in the City Council, advocating for the elimination of subsidies to associations he considers aligned with the left and demanding greater control over education and security in the city. In a political scenario marked by tension among government partners, his stance has caused friction within the municipal team led by María José Catalá.

With his discourse, Badenas positions himself as a key figure in the Valencian conservative space, appealing to an electorate seeking alternatives to progressive policies. His role in the City Council will be crucial for the future of the government coalition and for the direction of the right in the city.
