The President of the Generalitat, Carlos Mazón, of the PP, has fired Luis Manuel Martín Domínguez, a 54-year-old Andalusian, and appointed him Undersecretary of Justice at the request of the head of this department, Elisa Núñez, reported by Vox. Núñez explained that this Thursday morning he discovered that the Undersecretary of State had withheld from him a 2011 compliance ruling for “gender-based violence,” which led to a “complete collapse” of his “confidence.” This was communicated through a letter to Mazón, who called this afternoon an extraordinary plenary session of the Consell to dismiss the one who held one of the first positions in the second tier appointed by Vox. His proclamation was published in DOGV on July 26th.
The consultant did not want to explain the content of the judgment and hid the fact that it was “a personal matter” and that she did not want to violate “the right to privacy.” Nor has it begun to assess the difference between this case and that of Carlos Flores Juberías, leader of the Vox list in the last regional elections and negotiator of the pact with the PP, who was sentenced to one year in prison in 2001 for psychological offenses Violence against his ex-wife, which today would be classified as gender-based violence. Flores, professor of constitutional studies, ended up topping the list for Congress to facilitate the agreement with the PP in the Valencian Generalitat and is now a deputy in Congress.

Núñez has used the phrase “gender-based violence,” which the far right has banned.

Núñez holds a doctorate in law from the University of Alicante, a degree in religious studies from the Pontifical University of Comillas in Madrid and was a professor at the Catholic University of San Vicente Mártir in Valencia. She was also an advisor in the PP government from 2007 to 2011.

He graduated in law from the University of Huelva in 1999. He is a prison officer and his appointment was greeted with surprise in Valencia, particularly due to the lack of knowledge about him. According to Consell sources, he is among the group of senior officials appointed at the suggestion of Vox’s national leadership. The party led by Santiago Abascal is having difficulty filling all the positions granted to it in the pact with the PP, signed three months ago, on June 14, after an explicit negotiation. It is the first dismissal, two months after Mazón’s inauguration.
