José María Sánchez García (1958) is one of the most technical profiles of the Vox parliamentary group who, over time, has evolved into a high-profile political figure in Congress. Doctor of Law, Sánchez García has developed most of his professional career in the legal field before making the leap into politics. His career includes practicing as a judge, lawyer, and university professor, which has positioned him as a specialist in legal matters, constitutional and state organization.
This background has marked his public role: in Congress, his interventions usually focus on legal arguments and on a strict interpretation of the legal framework.
From the judiciary, to Congress: Vox deputy since 2019
The leap into politics of Sánchez García occurs with the entry of Vox into the Congress of Deputies in 2019.
Sánchez García is deputy for Alicante since April 2019, has revalidated his seat in successive general elections and is part of the core of legal profiles of the parliamentary group.
Since his arrival at the Lower House he has maintained an active profile in key debates, especially in matters such as historical memory, institutional legality, and government control.
A combative profile in the hemicycle
Beyond his technical training, Sánchez García has been characterized by a parliamentary style:
- Direct and confrontational in the political debate
- With frequent clashes with other groups
- Protagonist of calls to order in different sessions
This positioning has made him one of the most visible deputies of Vox within the hemicycle.

The incident in Congress: what happened and why he was expelled
The name of Sánchez García has been at the center of current events this April 14, 2026 after the incident that he starred in in Congress.
During a particularly tense debate, the Vox deputy interrupted the plenary session, confronted deputies from Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya and went up to the rostrum to rebuke the Presiding Committee.
The confrontation occurred with the vice president, who presided over the session, Alfonso Rodríguez Gómez de Celis, in a dispute over the use of the floor.
Expulsion of the plenary: three calls to order and sanction
The situation resulted in the application of the Chamber's rules: he received three consecutive calls to order and was automatically expelled from the plenary session.
It is one of the most severe disciplinary measures that the Board can adopt during a session.
Parliamentary tension and confrontation strategy
The episode is framed in a context of high political tension in Congress:
- Vox maintains that its reaction responds to previous provocations
- Other groups interpret what happened as a violation of parliamentary rules
In political terms, the incident reinforces the profile of Sánchez García as one of Vox's most combative deputies, but it also reopens the debate about the limits of behavior in parliamentary session.
What this episode means for his political profile
The expulsion is not an isolated event, but rather fits into a trajectory marked by direct confrontation in the hemicycle.
With this episode, José María Sánchez García gains public visibility at a time of high polarization, reinforces his role within Vox's parliamentary strategy, and places himself at the center of the debate on institutional discipline.
