Who is Vito Quiles?
Although he graduated in journalism from the Complutense University of Madrid, the Association of Parliamentary Journalists (APP) of Congress has requested that Quiles' accreditation in the Lower House be withdrawn due to his links with Alvise Pérez's party, The Party's Over. Quiles, born in 2000 in Elche, gained popularity during the pandemic as a result of his appearances on State of alarm, a YouTube channel promoted by Javier Negre, former deputy director of'The World, which has now become a platform that amplifies the theses and agenda of the far right.
Members ofState of alarm They have had several clashes with left-wing and pro-independence deputies in the press room of Congress, as well as with some journalists. In fact, media workers with very diverse editorial views They have expressed discomfort with the presence of Quiles and Negre at the press conferences in the lower house.. Following these incidents, Congress established sanctions in September to prosecute harassing behavior in the Spanish chamber.
Beyond the press room and the surroundings of Congress, in recent years Quiles has made a habit of following politicians, journalists, and media contributors, especially those from TVE. The agitator will seek them out at the door of an establishment where he knows they are from, or at an event they plan to attend, and once there, he pesters them with simple questions that seek direct confrontation. On social media, he shares these videos, and if someone stands up to him or reproaches him for his behavior, he highlights the "violence" of the interviewees.
