Great reception of the first Observatory of the tenth anniversary of Proa Comunicación

The first Observatory of the year of the tenth anniversary of Proa Comunicación with the Secretary General of Vox, Javier Ortega Smithwas very well received by the public. Nearly a hundred people attended the event, which was Club Financiero Génova de Madrid to listen to Ortega Smith, who gave a speech entitled "Defending Spain in the courts" in which she outlined some of her party's proposals in different areas.

Javier Ortega is a lawyer with a degree in Law from the University of Alcalá with studies at the ICADE School of Legal Practice. He has been the legal head of the Denaes Foundation for the Defence of the Spanish Nation, and has been part of the Special Operations Corps of the Spanish Army (COES).

Apart from being a mountaineer, he is a diver, swimmer and karateka, the latter adjective being more commonly used to describe him as "the negotiator" in the Andalusian Parliament in order to oust Susana Díaz thanks to the weight that Vox has acquired in the last regional elections.

But, without a doubt, the task that currently takes him most time is that of Secretary General of Vox, also heading the popular accusation against the coup plotters in Catalonia in the Supreme Court.

The Proa Observatories are stable discussion forums with the participation of prominent executives, politicians and professionals. They are born with the vocation of being a laboratory of ideas where a genuine dialogue is fostered to debate current business issues, as well as corporate reputation, brand and public affairs as important elements for the improvement of companies.

Among the personalities who have participated The economist Manuel Conthe; the President of Red Eléctrica de España, Jordi Sevilla; the former Minister of Education, Culture and Sport, José Ignacio Wert; the writer and priest Pablo D'Ors; the Director of External Communication of Deloitte, Antonio Belmonte; the Director of Communication and Institutional Relations of El Corte Inglés, José Luis González-Besada; the former High Commissioner for Marca España, Carlos Espinosa de los Monteros; the writer Pilar Urbano; and the Professor of Corporate Communication and Crisis Management at IESE Business School, Yago de la Cierva, among others.
