Vox presents a homophobic lawyer as a candidate for the elections in Castilla y León

Vox trusts everything to the brand. In front of those who bet on the party to present a strong candidate for the Presidency of Castilla y León - the name of the secretary general, Javier Ortega Smith, was shuffled - Santiago Abascal has opted for a lawyer of just over 30 years who joined barely six months and is unknown even to the members of Vox themselves. According to El Mundo and confirmed by Vox, the rival of Alfonso Fernández Mañueco in the early elections on February 13 will be Juan Manuel García-Gallardo Frings, a Burgos son and grandson of lawyers employed since 2016 in the family office, who defended the Ruiz-Mateos family and PP charges accused of corruption.

This Saturday, after his candidacy was confirmed, his homophobic comments began to be erased from social networks.

Among others, this tweet from December 2011: “I think it's a great idea to get Raúl back for the Euro.

You have to heterosexualize this sport full of fags ”.

Vox suppressed the primary elections, so García-Gallardo has been handpicked.

The Vox candidate for the presidency of Castilla y León is deleting homophobic tweets like this one.
