Thus announced his resignation from the act in the Cortes and his farewell to the first political line by the historic PPCV deputy from Alicante and former minister in the government of Alberto Fabra, José Císcar. Next week he will make his resignation effective, after 22 years in public life, to practice law. That was the reason given by the politician born in Alicante in 1961. “It is a good time to reconnect with my beginnings and pay off that pending debt that I have with my personal history,” he pointed out on the social network. However, sources close to his environment point to the differences he maintained with the project of Carlos Mazón, the leader of the PPCV, and that he raises the last vestiges of zaplanismo, the one of which precisely Císcar was his main scourge to give new air to the training. He was one of the candidates for the purge that, surely, Mazón will make in the face of the next elections.

These movements made him lose a good part of his organic power, even more after the commitment of the national leadership of the PP for Carlos Mazón to preside over the Diputación. In fact, the last legislature was about to be president of the provincial institution, but the refusal of Cs to make him president frustrated what was his greatest aspiration. On that occasion, he stepped aside to clear the way for César Sánchez.
