Who is Ester Muñoz, the new PP spokesperson in Congress?

In recent years, Ester Muñoz has become one of the most promising figures in Alberto Núñez Feijóo's Popular Party, who has now chosen this 40-year-old woman from León and her tough, direct approach to become spokesperson for the Congress of Deputies.
He will replace Miguel Tellado , the party's new general secretary following the departure of Cuca Gamarra , and will have the challenge of continuing the Galician's caustic line of discourse, which is also aligned with his own.
From his seat in office and in his increasingly frequent media appearances, Muñoz is one of the most forceful voices against President Pedro Sánchez's government and also against his vice presidents and ministers, with whom he frequently engages in harsh face-to-face confrontations during control sessions.
The current deputy secretary of Health and Education of the party, a PP deputy in Congress since 2023 and very close to the president of Castilla y León, Alfonso Fernández Mañueco, was born in León in 1985 and holds a degree in Law from the University of León and a master's degree in Private International Law from the University of Murcia .
He began his political career in the New Generations of the PP , where he held positions and representation in various entities from a very young age.
She was chief of staff in Genoa with the secretaries of Organization of the PP Carlos Floriano (when she was only 26 years old), Fernando Martínez Maíllo and Javier Arenas .
The popular politician held a seat in the Senate between 2016 and 2019 , where she was a spokesperson on the Justice Committee and a member of committees such as Equality and Gender Violence, among others.
He participated as a spokesperson for the PP in the Senate's Commission of Inquiry into the Financing of Political Parties in 2018, and his interrogations of figures such as María Jesús Montero and Pablo Iglesias , whom he accused of having "his pockets saturated with money from Iran and Venezuela," were notorious .
After leaving the Upper House, she stepped away from national politics for a few years and served as an advisor to Mañueco , a position she held until 2021 , when she was appointed delegate of the Junta de Castilla y León in the province of León and president of the PP in León in 2022 .
In the 2023 general elections, she returned to national politics and was elected as a deputy for her home province . A few months later, Feijóo brought her back to the front line and appointed her deputy secretary , as part of a reform he implemented within his board of directors to give weight to female and young voices.
Following her appointment as spokesperson, Muñoz has expressed her gratitude and awareness of the challenge of being one of the party's most visible faces .
He has promised to continue his direct and forceful approach, which has been so widely applauded by the ranks of the Popular Party in his increasingly frequent appearances in Congress.
