Why does Juan García Gallardo resign and leave politics?

Juan García Gallardo has made a decision. The leader of Vox in Castilla y León has resigned from all his positions in Castilla y León. This way, he leaves his seat and, with it, politics.

This is a decision he has made voluntarily, as he mentioned in his letter announcing the news. As he points out in the document, published on his X account, it is due to "discrepancies with the national leadership." He doesn't categorize it as "bad."

"I resign from my position as spokesperson for VOX in Castilla y León, the act of procurator, and my membership in the National Executive Committee." Thus, he leaves politics, "returning to my status as a regular member of VOX and resuming my private professional activity as a lawyer."

This way, despite choosing this end, he leaves political activity but maintains his principles. This can be seen when he communicates his idea of retaining his status as a member.

"I have always understood political activity as a renunciation if one aspires to exercise it virtuously, as I have intended and hope to have achieved. Without sacrifice, it is difficult to exercise it with the required diligence. I assumed a personal sacrifice upon entering, and now, I voluntarily resign upon leaving," he explains.

A choice that hasn't been easy. Despite everything, he wishes "VOX's electoral success to happen soon with the help of the rest of the party's colleagues and for the good of the entire Spanish society."

Completely grateful, he bids farewell to everyone in the mentioned letter, also to his former party colleagues and voters, whom he calls "brave."

"With immense gratitude to our members, supporters, and voters, as well as the vast majority of brave public officials of VOX throughout Spain, see you soon!"

Gallardo makes this decision just a week after several elected officials of the formation in Castilla y León, now expelled, demanded greater "internal democracy." In his farewell letter, the former VOX leader pointed out that the party's leadership has been expanding its control, progressively reducing the space for the rest of its members.
