Gabriel Ariza

Gabriel Ariza is identified as one of the two primary advisors to Santiago Abascal, the leader of the Spanish political party Vox. He and Kiko Méndez-Monasterio are portrayed as influential figures who allegedly shape the party's strategy. Ariza is newsworthy due to internal criticism within Vox directed at Abascal, accusing him of being a puppet of Ariza and Méndez-Monasterio. Recent reports highlight that Tizona Comunicación, Ariza's company, billed Vox nearly €1.3 million in a single year after the party gained institutional presence and public funding. This financial relationship has fueled the internal strife and raised questions about the party's financial management. The situation is relevant as it exposes internal tensions within Vox and potentially impacts its political standing and relationships with other parties, such as the PP, who have been instructed not to engage with Abascal's provocations.
