Vox defends freedom of expression over canceled Vito Quiles event in Zaragoza
This Thursday, agitator Vito Quiles was scheduled to stop in Zaragoza as part of his Combativos II Tour due to the November 29 general election. However, on Monday, the University of Zaragoza withdrew its authorization for the event to preserve its “institutional neutrality,” arguing that its spaces and resources should not be used in a way that could be interpreted as explicit support for political candidates. The event’s future is now uncertain.

In response to media questions about the matter, Vox Aragón president Alejandro Nolasco admitted that he did not know the details: “I donót know what happened. I won't get into whether the event was authorized or not, or whether there is something I'm missing.”
However, the Aragonese vice president defended freedom, saying that “everyone should be able to go somewhere and talk about what they believe, as long as they do not violate basic and fundamental principles,” attack “people's dignity,” or commit crimes.
For this reason, Nolasco stated that “the limit is the criminal code” because “everyone has the right to say whatever they deem appropriate,” including their political opinion, while others have the right to listen. “I think this business of censoring or not censoring is wrong,” he added.
