Carlo Angrisano resigns as secretary general of NNGG and asks for votes for Vox
Carlo Angrisano, secretary general of Nuevas Generaciones (NNGG), the youth wing of Spain's Partido Popular, resigned on Sunday 8 March 2026 and also cancelled his PP membership. In a video posted on his X profile, Angrisano justified his decision by saying that "the PP has stopped defending the values that led most of us to join" and asked for votes for Vox "for the sake of consistency".
The PP, for its part, responded that Angrisano never actually carried out his duties and had been removed from the post some time ago, downplaying the real impact of his departure. Party sources dismissed the significance of the resignation, noting that the official was no longer part of the active structure.
This public break highlights internal tensions within the PP's youth wing, where the drift towards more moderate positions has fuelled discontent among its most conservative sectors. Angrisano's move adds to other similar shifts on the Spanish right, where the flow of votes towards Vox remains a recurring issue.
