Andalusia's General Comptroller Miguel Ángel Figueroa submitted his resignation on Monday for personal reasons after his name appeared in Leire Díez's notebooks.

Figueroa submitted his resignation last Monday. Andalusian government sources said he had already expressed his intention to resign months earlier, once information about the case emerged, and that he would do so after the elections.

The resignation must be approved by the Council of Government next week. The post will be assumed by the longest-serving division director, according to the regulations.

Figueroa had held the position since January 2025. His name appears in Leire Díez's notes as MAF and “our eyes in SEPI”, where he served as director of Participadas III until 2022. There is no report that he is under investigation.

What people are saying

Initial reactions on X focus on the resignation of Miguel Ángel Figueroa tied to Leire Díez's notebooks, with users noting political connections. Some express negative views on PSOE involvement in alleged schemes, while others question ongoing issues under Andalusia's right-wing government or raise doubts about the timing and prior knowledge by the PP. A few posts highlight potential corruption links without strong partisan bias.
