Vox presents as a candidate in Murcia someone indicted for alleged document forgery

Vox has nominated Aida Peñalver, who is under investigation for alleged document forgery and identity theft, as a candidate in Murcia. Peñalver, currently the parliamentary coordinator for Vox in the regional assembly, is scheduled to appear in court on January 12. Her inclusion in the candidacy for the upcoming elections on November 29 indicates support from the national leadership, despite her low chances of being elected. The investigation stems from a complaint by former regional leader José Ángel Antelo, who alleged that his signature was used without authorization to request his removal as spokesperson. The assembly rejected the request, citing lack of validity and potential misuse of Antelo's electronic signature. This incident occurred amid internal conflicts within Vox, leading to Antelo's expulsion from the party.
