Alvise calls himself a "free and independent news channel" and is considered among its supporters to be "a staunch defender of the truth and the fight against political corruption".

[3][10] Perez's activity on social networks consisted in receiving information about alleged irregularities and illegal acts committed by politicians at the national, provincial, and local levels, and also some businessmen, which he ties to the media.

[21] Pérez's social media activities are controversial, and he has been accused by his critics of spreading misinformation and fake news about Spanish left-wing personalities, and of being a far-right populist.

[22] In relation to this complaint, Pérez stated that the courts wanted to hold him responsible for comments made only by some users among his many followers on his social networks, arguing that it was impossible to control absolutely everything that thousands of people freely publish.

[23] Furthermore, after four years of litigation, the Supreme Court of Spain ruled in favour of Pérez, forcing Pastor to bear the costs of the trial.

[24] Given this, Pérez defended himself by arguing that all those complaints against him were part of a political and media persecution campaign, with the aim of silencing him and his recently founded grouping of electors.

As examples of his alleged persecution, he stated that numerous Spanish media would mention him only to attack him, and cited the deletion of all pages of the Spanish Wikipedia[citation needed] that had been created about his grouping of electors; Pérez attributed this situation to the possible benefits that not only politicians, but also several businessmen and various media conglomerates would be obtaining from the corruption networks he claims to fight against.

[17] SALF ran its campaign through social networks relying on Pérez's big online community and avoiding spending money on traditional massive rallies.

[19] Shortly after the official proclamation of the candidacies for the election, SALF began registering in opinion polls with an estimated 0.9% of the votes and the possibility of winning up to two seats according to the spanish Centre for Sociological Research.

[32] As a result, some small parties like Junts and Podemos also fear that the irruption of this new grouping of electors could jeopardize their hopes of obtaining representatives in the European Parliament.
