Alvise Pérez is left alone in the European Parliament: "We don't share his methods."

MadridAlvise Pérez now only has himself to himself in the European Parliament. The open war with the other two MEPs from the "Se ha Acabado la Fiesta" (SALF) party, which he accused two weeks ago, is ongoing. having sold out to lobbyists, has ended in a split. In an institutional statement published this Tuesday, the second and third in command of the candidacy headed by the far-right agitator broke with the SALF leader and his project. "We neither share his methods nor participate in his entourage," declare Diego Solier and Nora Junco. On their profiles on the European Parliament website, they declare themselves independent and no longer appear linked to SALF.

"We strongly reject any attempt at defamation, coercion, or blackmail such as those we have been suffering from MEP Alvise Pérez. His personal attacks, public and private threats, and disinformation campaigns against us—including absurd and fabricated accusations—are undemocratic and incompatible with serious institutional work," they state. In public statements, SALF leader Alvise had urged his followers to "hound and demand explanations" from Solier and Junco for voting differently than him on rearmament.

"I don't know if a lobby came behind me and bought one of my MEPs. I know how I vote," he said on the podcast. Eclectics worldwideThe two MEPs critical of Alvise Pérez deny this accusation and counterattack with the three criminal cases the Supreme Court has opened against the SALF leader.

The new investigation against Alvise

The latest case was opened this Monday for insulting a public official, coercion, and/or hate speech on social media for messages about a Valencian prosecutor. Specifically, Pérez published messages on his Telegram channel against the Valencian prosecutor for hate crimes and discrimination, Susana Gisbert, who, in statements toThe CountryShe reported that, as a result of these attacks, followers of the MEP threatened to "kill and rape" her.

The Supreme Court sees evidence of a deliberate intention to compromise the normal development of the victim's daily life. The other two cases are forhaving accepted 100,000 euros in cashthat crypto-entrepreneur Álvaro Romillo gave him to fund his European election campaign—in which the High Court sees evidence of fraud, misappropriation, money laundering, and document forgery—and for forgery of a private document and slander to spread false proof of Covid-19 against Salvador Illa.

"The open judicial investigations [...] force us to draw a clear ethical and political line," maintain Solier and Junco, who assert that they "continue to represent the more than 800,000 Spaniards" who voted for SALF. Alvise Pérez has denied this, claiming that his was the only well-known face of the candidacy and the reason why people voted for them. Both MEPs respond that "we cannot talk about regeneration while accepting bullying, blackmail, or dirty money" and they commit to "protecting the dignity of the European institutions."

Both joined "individually" five months ago the European Conservatives and Reformists (CRE) group led by Italian Giorgia Meloni. Alvise Pérez was excluded and is not affiliated with any European Parliament family. CRE sources justified the exclusion of the SALF leader precisely because of the investigations against him. Solier and Junco issued a joint statement through an X account, no longer as members of SALF, but as the "Spanish delegation of the CRE group."
