In the lead-up to the regional elections in Castilla y León scheduled for March 15, Alvise Pérez's party, Se Acabó la Fiesta (SALF), has enlisted several dissidents from the right-wing party Vox as candidates. Notably, the former regional representative Javier Teira will head SALF's list in Salamanca, along with Ana García and Baldomero Sánchez, both former associates of Teira. This strategic recruitment highlights SALF's aims to capitalize on the dissatisfaction within Vox and appeal to disenchanted voters.

After narrowly missing out on entering the Aragonese Cortes, SALF seeks to build on its unexpected success in the European elections of 2024, where it garnered 800,000 votes and secured three seats. The inclusion of former Vox members in their electoral roster is a clear attempt by Pérez to differentiate his party and gain traction in a politically competitive landscape. This move could potentially shift the voting dynamics in Castilla y León, where Vox has enjoyed considerable support.

The upcoming elections will be crucial for both SALF and Vox, as they navigate a landscape increasingly marked by factions and dissension within the right. The outcome could impact future alliances and the overall strength of right-wing politics in Spain. As SALF emerges as an alternative for those dissatisfied with mainstream right-wing offerings, it may redefine the political scene in this region and possibly influence trends on a national scale.
