Colombian shadow looms over Vox's leadership

The Colombian vice-president dividing opinion within Vox

A couple of months ago, a thread on an economic forum exposed what many call Vox's "worst-kept secret": the existence of a Colombian vice-president within the Spanish party. The link to Vox's official website (www.voxespana.es) showed a name that triggered mockery and disbelief. While some call him an "overseas Spaniard", others see him as yet another contradiction in the party's anti-immigration discourse.

An appointment met with laughter and doubts
The news, if it even is news, spread like wildfire among sceptical circles. Comments ranged from irony ("an overseas Spaniard, from the Spanish province of panderombia") to direct criticism: "Vox supporters must live in a constant state of cognitive dissonance." Some even compared the new vice-president with Ignacio Garriga, as a warning: "He might turn out just as tough as Garriga on immigration."

The Colombian factor in Vox's strategy
The truth is that, after the controversy, few concrete details have emerged. There has been no official statement or clarification from the party. The only tangible evidence is the link, which remains accessible, and the trail of a debate that, though brief, made clear the issue did not go unnoticed. The question remains: is it a mistake, an expansion strategy or simply a mirage? For now, Vox's silence fuels the suspicions of those who believe the party does not want to explain itself.

The thread was closed without conclusions, but it left one certainty: the figure of the Colombian vice-president, real or not, is now part of the critical imagination surrounding the far-right party.
