Vox party: Rise of the far right in Spain
The more you dumb libs try to silence the Right,
the BIGGER and STRONGER we grow 
Quote:
Spain has been an exception to the upsurge of nationalist, far-right movements across Europe. With the rise of the Vox party, this has changed. The openly misogynistic, xenophobic and Islamophobic party just made it to the Parliament. What does that mean for Spain's political course and newly arrived migrants?
The far-right scene has been on the rise across Europe, and Spain is no exception to this phenomenon. The far-right Vox party won almost 10 percent of the vote in general elections held on April 28, 2019, securing the party 24 seats in Parliament. Vox’s popularity has surged against a backdrop of Islamophobia that gained momentum as Spain became the main country of arrival for migrants in 2018.
Spain’s Socialist Party (PSOE) secured 123 seats and the far-left Unidas Podemos won 42 seats in the recently held election. Together, the left secured 165 seats countrywide in the 350 seat parliament. On the contrary, the two traditional right-wing parties - the Conservative party and Ciudadanos (Citizens), won 66 and 57 seats respectively. The far-right Vox was able to secure 24 seats. The remaining 38 seats were claimed by regional parties.
The result is a victory for Socialist leader, Pedro Sanchez, but the rise of an openly misogynistic and xenophobic party leaves many including the country’s newest residents wondering what shape the country’s political landscape is taking and what it means for them.
