The internal crisis within Vox Ceuta took shape this Tuesday after the spokesperson and visible face of the party revealed that during the previous legislature there had been opaque use of party accounts. The controversial Carlos Verdejo, still a deputy and member of the parliamentary group during this legislature, although no longer affiliated with it, offered an appearance before the media in which he severely attacked the current leader of the formation in the autonomous city, Juan Sergio Redondo, who came to flirt with “typical beach bar behavior.”
The former spokesperson had submitted his resignation as a member a few days ago and sat in the press room of the Assembly, ready to explain in depth the struggles that arose within the organization . He was accompanied by a voluminous file in which he said he held part of the party’s accounts: “If Redondo wants it, I will make them public this morning”, threatened the deputy, who admitted having signed some of them and knowing their content only because of what was provided to him.
“I don’t think there’s anything illegal. If I have even the slightest indication that this is happening, I will go to court. “I believe these narratives are unethical,” he then said of certain “practices” and “organized behaviors” within the party with which he disagrees and which “ didn’t stop even though they tried.”
In this sense, he questions the fact that there could be expenses of up to 2,500 euros without justification and defends that he has always advocated total transparency. “The bases on which this money must be justified are a shame, because they easily make it possible to hide payments and realities of less than 2,500 euros from everyone,” he revealed, before apologizing for not having been aware of it before.
And although he indicated that “very important details to know have been omitted”, the Vox member wanted to clarify that he “never” accessed the party’s bank account and that he did not didn’t even have the keys to operate from it.
“It is never too late, as I usually do, to ask for papers, as I have done in countless beach bars,” he said, before associating the party leader from Ceuta and some of his trusted people behave “typically of a beach bar”. bar.” However, Verdejo avoided extending the adjective to the party or parliamentary group.
The “boycott” of the team and support from the shadows
For him, there was a sort of “boycott” against his figure and against other members of the party in the City, the origin of which is found in the will of Juan Sergio Redondo. A sabotage in which the personal advisors of the president of the group, the communications manager, Virginia Saura, the membership manager, Romina Reyes, and the coordinator of the parliamentary group and also training advisor, David Romero, allegedly participated. , always “following the creations of Rajatabla” Redondo.
As an example, he mentioned the rejection of one of his proposals in plenary and the forgetting of another to finally find himself with a new protocol which “appears mysteriously” and for which he cannot present his third idea because it is “out of time”. “. Likewise, he indicated that “requests for interviews were hidden from him”.
Disagreements that were already emerging among the rumors since after the elections he published on social networks that the loss of his spokesperson, which had brought him to the front page of the media, was not a voluntary change. Much less consensual.
A few days ago he again used his personal profile to contradict Redondo regarding a party press release in which the president attributed responsibility for the problems of coexistence between neighbors and unaccompanied foreign minors to the head of the sector of minors, the first. secretary of the PSOE Toñi Palomo.
It turned out that, apparently, communication between Redondo and Verdejo had not been smooth for a long time. The former spokesperson did not hesitate to point out that he received, more than two months ago, a message from his president asking him to “refrain” from sending him emails or WhatsApp . A review that appealed to you to publish.
To top it off, he suggested that not only was he not isolated within the parliamentary group, but he had support at the national level and he quoted Santiago Abascal with the famous phrase “the people who change their principles, throw them into the bonfire.” .””, to reaffirm that “Vox remains to the left of Carlos Verdejo”.
