In Spain, the legislative elections, Sunday July 23, could precipitate the fall of the Socialist Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, in power for five years. The campaign was marked by the breakthrough of Vox, the far-right party.
A wave of Spanish flags, and green banners of the Vox party. For his last campaign meeting, the far-right Spanish leader, Santiago Abascal, hammers home his favorite messages. “Yes to parental authority, no to gender ideology. Yes to safe streets, no to illegal immigration. And an unwavering yes to Spain, our party”, did he declare. In ten years of existence, Vox has established itself as the third party in Spain, by denouncing immigration, well-meaning or separatists.
First party under 21
On a campaign poster, Vox promises to throw out feminist programs, the 2030 plan for ecology, and the law that recognizes transgender people. An uninhibited speech, largely fed on social networks by fascist youtubers. Vox is the first party in the under 21s. Fabio’s parents, Ilario and Miguel all vote left, but they say they are exasperated by the progressive discourse. They hold an assumed conservative discourse, sometimes with accents of Francoism, a dark period that they did not know. “There were times, I would say, idyllic, for example in the 60s. Certainly under the Franco regime, but there was security in the streets”believes Fabio.
Vox could arrive in third place, Sunday July 23, with around 14% of the vote according to the polls.
