The placid life of Pablo Casado and his family two years after his war with Ayuso

So much Pablo Casado as Isabel Torres Orts, his wife, are missing from the media fray. The former leader of the Popular Party has not published content on his social networks since April 2022, when he gave his last speech. Pointing him to Isabel Díaz Ayuso It cost him his exit from the popular bench and the political world. The psychologist and educational psychologist, for her part, has her Instagram account closed and only 450 people have access to her publications. The secrecy is maximum.

A native of Elche, Torres Ortis is the granddaughter of Luis Torres Fenoll, 'the king of candy', and is the heir to Damel, a candy company from Elche responsible for Pectol, Palotes and the legendary Cheiw chewing gum. Her maternal family has never lacked anything either. She descends from the Orts, owners of the Huerto del Cura, a successful four-star hotel.

Isabel traveled a few kilometers when she came of age and moved to Madrid to study Psychopedagogy at the Autonomous University. She also boasts in her resume that she speaks several languages: Valencian, English, Portuguese and French. She met Pablo at a Madrid hall of residence party, when he was studying Law and Business Administration. Theirs was a crush, first and only love. After dating for a couple of years, they met “yes, I want” on June 20, 2009, in the Basilica of Santa María de Elche. Important faces of the PP gathered there, such as José María Aznar, who attended accompanied by Ana Botella, and Esperanza Aguirre.

During Casado's political stage, the couple lived near Madrid's El Retiro park with their two children, Paloma and Pablo, who faced a critical situation as soon as he was born in March 2014. The little one came into the world after 25 weeks of gestation and weighing only 700 grams. The Palencia politician considers it “a miracle” that he pulled through. To be grateful for what had happened, Pablo and Isabel walked the Camino de Santiago weeks after the birth.

In 2011, they acquired a 300 square meter villa in Navas del Marqués, the land of Casado. The house is located in the exclusive urbanization of Ciudad Ducal and has aristocratic origins. It was built in 1943 on some lots that belonged to the Marquises of Medinaceli. The opposition leader's refuge has spectacular views of the lake in this municipality of only 5,187 inhabitants.

In February 2022, the internal war that broke out between him and the president of the Community of Madrid, from his same party, ended up costing him his position in favor of Alberto Núñez Feijóo, his successor after leaving Galician territory and making the leap to national politics.

It must be remembered that Casado questioned the ethics of the Madrid president and her brother, when asking the politician to clarify if her brother charged a commission: “I would not allow my brother to charge 300.000 euros by a contract decided in a council of ministers chaired by me.” Justice, however, has sidelined Ayuso's brother in all instances.

Casado currently works as an attorney and representative of Archery Capital SL, an investment fund that invests its profits in the Defense sector. This is how he advanced it The debate. Together with his wife and his children, he is away from the media arena. Gone are those displays of love that were dedicated to social networks, with which they showed the family unity that helps politicians (of any party) so much when it comes to empathizing and reaching out to citizens and supporters of their parties. “She's an extraordinary person. That's why I married her. She's much better than me. Clearly, I won… I think she's very pretty, very smart, a very good mother, a very good wife, a very good professional…”, Casado even commented on one occasion before the press.
