Rivera avoids cataloging Vox as an extremadrecha party: "I'm not a political analyst"
The president of Citizens, Albert Rivera, has avoided qualifying Vox as a party of extremaderecha: "I'm not a political analyst, I'll leave that to you", Rivera answered in the Cadena Ser to Pepa Bueno's question about where to place ideologically to Vox. "A political leader has to dedicate himself to building and proposing," he added.
Asked about his tendency to locate Podemos on the left or extreme left, Rivera has said that he calls them "podemitas or Podemos". "I do not dedicate myself to that (to locate the parties ideologically), I leave that to you," said Rivera, who has avoided ideologically locating the Santiago Abascal party on three occasions.

"You talk about that, I do not, I understand that analysts and journalists think, but the reality is that we have 9 seats in Andalusia," recalled the president of Citizens, who has referred to Vox as "an extra-parliamentary candidacy." "There are many things that say from Vox, Podemos, PP and PSOE that I do not like," he concluded.
Crisis of the Judicial Power
Rivera has also criticized the "tremendous damage" suffered by the judiciary after the failed pact between the PP and PSOE to renew the leadership of the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ) and the resignation of Manuel Marchena to be president of this body. "The citizenship does not support certain attitudes that put in check one of the powers of the State," he said.
The leader of Citizens has criticized Pedro Sánchez (PSOE) and Pablo Casado (PP): "You should consider rectifying and apologizing." Rivera has insisted on the Citizens proposal that the members of the CGPJ be chosen by the judges through universal suffrage. He also recalled the request of his party that the Minister Dolores Delgado and PP senator Ignacio Cosidó resign.
