The parliamentary group acknowledges that the deputy's behavior was “questionable,” but rules out any sanction or formal complaint to the President of the Chamber, Francina Armengol.

The episode occurred when Sánchez went to the rostrum and confronted the First Vice President of Congress, Alfonso Rodríguez Gómez de Célis, who was presiding over the session at that moment, which led to his expulsion after several calls to order.

Sánchez García, born in Madrid in 1963, is a lawyer, a judge on leave of absence, and a professor of Canon Law at the University of Seville. He was elected deputy for the constituency of Alicante in the general elections of November 2019 as part of Vox's lists.

The party led by Santiago Abascal denounces that the Presidency of Congress does not act against the insults that, they claim, their deputies regularly receive. Sources from the group state that they are “fed up with continuous insults” and believe that the situation was going to “explode” at some point.

Vox insists that they are not seeking differential treatment, but rather that the rules be applied equally to all parliamentary groups, in a context they describe as increasing tension within the Lower House.
