Juan Sergio Redondo Pacheco is a Spanish historian and politician who has been the leader of Vox in the Assembly of Ceuta since 2019.

Biography

Redondo is a historian at the National University of Distance Education (UNED) in Ceuta and has spoken at conferences promoting Spanish claims to Gibraltar.[1][2] In April 2019, he was named to lead Vox's campaign in the Ceuta Assembly election.[3] His party took just under a quarter of the votes, coming third and winning their first six seats in the Assembly.[4]

In July 2021, Redondo was called to court for having called former Vox member Juan Manuel Aguiar a blackmailer and extortionist for having allegedly leaking racist messages by him.[5] In the messages, a person called for military action against "Moors" if the political process failed, and called mayor-president Juan Jesús Vivas a gilipollas ("wanker") for endorsing multiculturalism. He mocked processions of the Hindu god Ganesha as "taking an elephant for a walk".[6][7] That October, the legal process against him for inciting hatred with the messages was dismissed.[8]

Redondo has called for Ceuta to end public holidays for Eid al-Adha and introduce a day off for the city's saint, Daniel. Vox had endorsed two calendars including Eid al-Adha, ostensibly only so that there would be an official calendar.[9]

Redondo is a member of the self-styled Sovereign Military Order of the Temple of Jerusalem, with the rank of Chronicler.[10][11] He played junior football on the same team as Mohamad Alí, the leader of the Caballas Coalition.[10]
