Cristina Díaz, head of Communication and Photography at Pozuelo de Alarcón Town Hall, has left her position following an alleged clash with another employee. Her name has already been removed from the municipal website and she has disappeared from social media.
The Head of Communication and Photography at Pozuelo de Alarcón Town Hall, Cristina Díaz Álvarez, has submitted her resignation after a tense internal conflict that, according to municipal sources, has been brewing for the past few months. The journalist and photographer, who joined the council as an external contractor and was promoted to advisor and then to head of the department, is said to have clashed with another employee linked to the communication of the government team.
A Conflict of Egos and Competencies
According to sources close to the Town Hall, the trigger was the interference of a worker, an amateur photographer, in Díaz's duties. This employee, who describes himself as a 'jack of all trades', is said to have gained ground in the communication department, creating an unsustainable environment for the already appointed head.
The situation reportedly worsened with the arrival of Jorge Navas to the government team, although a direct relationship has not been confirmed. What is certain is that Díaz, who had taken on significant responsibilities in the municipal magazine 'Vive Pozuelo', stopped feeling comfortable in her role.
An Abrupt Exit with No Explanations
The resignation occurred suddenly. Cristina Díaz's name has been removed from the list of temporary staff on the municipal website, an unusual move indicating a sharp break. Furthermore, the journalist has practically disappeared from social media, something unusual for a communication professional.
Sources from the council have declined to comment on the case, although they acknowledge that an exit has occurred. Meanwhile, the government team has opted for silence, which has fueled speculation about a possible internal chaos in the communication area.
What Does This Mean for Pozuelo Town Hall?
Díaz's departure leaves a void in the institutional communication of Pozuelo de Alarcón, a municipality of over 86,000 inhabitants. The head was responsible for official photography and coordination of the municipal magazine, so her absence could delay some editorial projects.
Residents of Pozuelo, accustomed to smooth communication from the Town Hall, may notice changes in the frequency or quality of municipal publications. So far, no replacement has been announced, nor has it been clarified whether the position will be filled immediately.
A History of Tensions in the Council
This is not the first time exits have occurred in the communication department of Pozuelo Town Hall. In recent years, several professionals have left the area due to differences with political management, although the reasons have never been made public.
This time, Díaz's departure has been particularly notable due to the speed with which her digital footprint has been erased. The journalist, who had built a solid career in institutional photography, has chosen to disappear from the public eye without giving explanations.
From this newspaper, we will remain attentive to any updates on this case, which highlights the internal tensions in one of the most important town halls in the western area of Madrid.
