Gimeno has faced harassment from right-wing and far-right supporters. This stems from his decision to vote in favour of the investiture of the PSOE and Unidas Podemos coalition. As a result, Guitarte has been provided with a security escort by the Ministry of the Interior.[1][2]

Since November 2022 Guitarte has been spokesperson for the Empty Spain coalition, of which Teruel Existe is a part.
