Manuel Gavira, Vox's candidate for the presidency of the Andalusian Regional Government, has shown a special ability to fill vacancies. Born in Cádiz in 1969, this lawyer joined the party in 2015, attracted by Abascal's ideas. After replacing Francisco Serrano and then Macarena Olona, he now aspires to a higher position, although his career seems like a game of political musical chairs.
The 2.0 version of a low-cost candidate 🖥️
In terms of development, Gavira works like forced update software: it fixes errors from previous versions but without adding new features. His profile as a lawyer with his own practice and experience as an advisor gives him a certain stability, but his source code is basically the same as his predecessors'. Vox's political algorithm seems to prefer quick patches rather than developing its own operating system from scratch.
When your resume looks like a substitute ad ⚽
If politics were a soccer league, Gavira would be that player who always enters the field when a teammate is sent off. First he substituted for Serrano, then for Olona, and now he wants to be a starter in the Regional Government. At least he's consistent: he's been waiting for his opportunity since 2015, like that friend who always says he's going to quit smoking but never does. That said, no one can accuse him of lacking patience.
