A live mic portrays two Vox far-right deputies in Les Corts boasting about "privileged information" and calling a deputy "witch"

An open microphone has revealed a conversation between two Vox far-right deputies in Les Corts Valencianes in which one of them boasts of having used "privileged information" provided by a prosecutor and both make sexist comments against a PSPV-PSOE parliamentarian.

The scene took place this Wednesday during a recess of the Economy, Budgets and Finance Committee, which was debating the partial amendments to the Generalitat's Budgets for 2026. Deputies David Muñoz and Jesús Albiol believed the microphone was off, although the institutional signal continued to be broadcast live.

"What did you think of the use of privileged information? Nobody knows. I know because the prosecutor told me," Muñoz comments with a laugh. "Privileges", Albiol replies in a complicit tone.

The conversation had begun after a debate on immigration, security and an operation against human trafficking carried out in the province of Castellón. Minutes later, the two parliamentarians changed the subject and directed their comments against socialist deputy Alicia Andújar.

"But the witch Andújar is terrible," Albiol stated. Muñoz added that the parliamentarian "uses a tone that makes her unlikable" and suggested that she should modify her way of speaking.

The data used by Vox during the debate

The alleged reserved information appeared during the exchange between David Muñoz and Compromís deputy Jesús Pla, within the block dedicated to Emergencies and Interior.

Pla had recalled an operation by the Civil Guard carried out in April in Nules, Castellón, against an organization allegedly dedicated to exploiting migrant workers in the agricultural sector. Agents freed 80 people living in conditions of semi-slavery and arrested seven suspects for human trafficking, crimes against workers' rights and favoring irregular immigration.

The Compromís deputy asked who benefited from that exploitation and questioned Vox's usual attempt to associate immigration with crime while downplaying those who profit through trafficking networks.

Muñoz responded from his seat that in the case of Nules they were "all Pakistanis and, furthermore, all in the process of regularization due to the instructions of the Government of Spain".

The nationalities related to the operation had become publicly known, although the alleged regularization situation mentioned by the deputy was not included in the known information. During the recess, it was Muñoz himself who boasted that this data came from a prosecutor.

The recording also does not clarify the identity of that person, the circumstances in which they would have transferred the information, or whether it was data incorporated into an investigation still open.

"Women can speak, but softly"

After commenting on the use of that information, the deputies of the far-right Vox began to assess the interventions of their political adversaries. Albiol compared Jesús Pla's tone with Alicia Andújar's and reserved the most offensive epithets for the socialist deputy.

"This one still maintains a calmer tone, although he says many outrageous things, but it's a different tone. The witch Andújar is terrible," the ultra parliamentarian is heard saying.

Muñoz continues the conversation assuring that the deputy's tone of voice "makes her unlikable". Albiol then receives a phone call and quickly turns off the microphone, possibly after being warned that the conversation was being broadcast.

Alicia Andújar has denounced the sexist component of the comments and has pointed out that the episode shows what Vox expects from women who participate in politics. "Women can speak, but softly, smiling and without bothering", the parliamentarian has reproached. Andújar has assured that the socialist representatives will continue to intervene firmly and that these attacks will not silence them.

The Government delegate in the Comunitat Valenciana and PSOE Equality Secretary, Pilar Bernabé, has also supported the deputy. In a message published on social networks, she accused Vox representatives of resorting to insults because they lack arguments to respond to her.

"'Witch' is what some Vox gentlemen call Alicia Andújar, caught with an open microphone. They insult her because she runs circles around them and they can't refute a single sentence. The most stale and cowardly resource that exists," Bernabé wrote.

Vox ultras claim they were joking

Sources from the Vox parliamentary group have assured ‘Levante-EMV’ that their deputies "were speaking in jest" and that the information mentioned during the commission had already appeared in the media.

The party also maintains that the reference to "the prosecutor" alluded to the State Attorney General, Teresa Peramato. This explanation leaves pending clarification as to why Muñoz presented the data as something "nobody knows" and expressly boasted about using privileged information during a parliamentary debate.

Vox has also not offered an explanation for the insults directed at Alicia Andújar. The group thus tries to downplay the episode as an informal conversation, although the words were recorded in the official broadcast of Les Corts and occurred within the parliamentary headquarters.

The incident brings together two issues that must now be clarified. On the one hand, the origin and nature of the data on a human trafficking investigation used by Muñoz. On the other, the sexist attacks directed against a deputy for her way of intervening and for refusing to adopt the complacent tone that the far-right parliamentarians seemed to demand of her.
