Pablo Ruz Villanueva (born 15 September 1983) is a Spanish politician serving as mayor of Elche since 2023.[1] From 2019 to 2023, he was a member of the Senate.[2]
Ruz was installed as mayor with support from Vox. In June 2024, posters appeared with the message "Pablo, does Aurora [Rodil, local Vox leader] know that thing about you?", in reference to his homosexuality. Ruz reported the posters as homophobic, and the case was closed in March 2025 with no crime being found.[3]
