Alvise Fails in Aragon: SALF on the Brink of Cortes Entry

Luis ‘Alvise’ Pérez’s first regional adventure has ended in failure. The Party is Over (SALF) has been left out of the Cortes of Aragon, despite the fact that it has narrowly missed the seat for Zaragoza with 2.9% of the vote against a legal barrier of 3% per province. He The winner of the elections was the PP but it loses two deputies and will depend on Vox, which doubles its seats, in a carbon copy of what happened in Extremadura two months ago.

SALF’s strategy was to achieve a good result in Zaragoza with Cristina Falcón at the head of the list. In this constituency they did well in the 2024 European elections with almost 20,000 votes, and this Sunday they fell short with more than 14,000 ballots and 2.9%.

Altogether, its results place it ahead of PAR and Podemos: SALF has won more than 17,000 votes in total in the elections compared to 8,000 for PAR and 6,000 for Podemos. IU-Sumar is ahead, but only by a thousand ballots. SALF has celebrated the result, despite not entering the Cortes, because “it triples and destroys Podemos, surpasses Teruel. It exists in the capital and is on the verge of obtaining a seat in Zaragoza.”

SALF’s second electoral attempt in its short history no longer had the surprise factor that led it to convince 800,000 voters to win three seats in the European elections. Since then, Alvise only has one seat in the European Parliament – ​​his own – after his MEPs have denounced him for harassment, the promise of raffled off his salary every month has also been left behind and the list of judicial fronts continues to increase.

Cristina Falcón’s campaign has had little impact and, in fact, the most relevant moment of these weeks involved Alvise when he was called to testify before the Supreme Court as a defendant accused of having promoted harassment against his own MEPs. There he took the opportunity to show his next book and campaign: “I think we are going to change the government of Aragon very soon. Allow me to thank all the people of Aragon for their excellent and massive reception.”

Alvise’s party is studying presenting candidates for the regional elections in Castilla y León, and in October he already indicated his intention to run for the general elections, with the shadow of several lawsuits hanging over him. The MEP has four criminal fronts ahead of him. The most serious, the accusation of illegal financing. The agitator held talks for weeks with Álvaro Romillo, known as ‘Luis CryptoSpain’ and promoter of investment and cryptocurrency platforms such as the Madeira Invest Club, which gave him 100,000 euros to boost his candidacy in the last European elections. as revealed by elDiario.es.
