Mariola Vargas

Mariola Vargas is the mayor of Collado Villalba, a position she has held while representing the People's Party (PP). Recently, she has been in the news for her role in a controversial agreement with the far-right party Vox, which involved the removal of the term 'violencia de género' (gender-based violence) from official documents in favor of 'violencia doméstica' (domestic violence) as part of a deal to secure budget approval. This decision has drawn significant criticism from various political groups, including the Socialist Party, which has called for her resignation, labeling her actions as a denial of the principles she is expected to uphold regarding gender equality and violence against women.
