A huge taboo now has been broken is when the Vox leader, the 43-year-old basque sociologist Santiago Abascal, talking openly about the Spanish civil war 1936-39, a topic that all of the camps in the husfridens name refrained from making policy under democracy:
– the civil War was started by the socialist PSOE [then in the opposition, in the day of the party in government].
the Spaniards, marked by its long right-wing dictatorship of 1939-75, avoided long as any contact with such parties. Right-wing extremists have voted for the major party Partido Popular, PP, which has historical roots to the Francisco Franco dictatorship. But the PP is neither right-wing or frankistiskt, and during the Mariano Rajoys ledartid, 2004-2018, it became increasingly mittenorienterat.

In the beginning it was not at all, but in december of last year came the breakthrough, then the Vox got 11 percent of the votes in Andalusia’s regional elections.
Andalusia is Spain’s largest and most populous region, and the socialist party PSOE’s obvious historical attachment. But now, with the Vox support, have the conservative Popular party and the liberal national party Ciudadanos thrown the socialists out of the saddle and formed a civil regionsregering in Seville.
We are tired of corruption and of the young the big muckety-mucks
to a ångestladdad deal for the established nationalistpartierna, Pit Popular and Ciudadanos. Like a fox in a hönsgård cut the party in on its competitors ‘ voters and it feels as if there is an upset in the air, as if many voters are about to take the plunge to the Vox. An elderly couple from Valencia, the country’s most korruptionsdrabbade region, told me the other day for the DN that they will vote on the Vox. They are quiet people who have never shown any extreme tendencies, what has happened?
” We want to give all leaders and all parties a kick on the bum. We are tired of corruption and of the young the big muckety-mucks in Madrid and Barcelona, which determines what you can think and say.
In their desperation over the Vox rampage at their chips have nationalistpartierna Partido Popular and Ciudadanos chosen different tactics. Ciudadanos has moved towards the middle, and condemned the Vox, while the Partido popular national new young leader Pablo Casado refuses to talk bad about the Vox voters – who just now was his own – and competing with the Vox in militant incursions.
It is not possible to trump the Vox in extremism
Miguel Murado, a political commentator for The Guardian, says to dagens nyheter:
” It is not possible to trump the Vox in extremism. Those who decided Vox has done it to break a taboo, to intervene and show its importance. In all over the world are voting fewer and fewer of belief, but as teenagers, for it to be something happen, ”a fun thing”. Society needs order, but the turmoil and chaos is more entertaining than the order.

Vox picks the votes of the Partido Popular, but the right peer strength looks unchanged. If a högerkoalition proves possible, it is still uncertain whether Ciudadanos will participate. Assembly with the Vox can ruin its centrist party-image.

However, the unresolved issue sits like a fishbone in the throat of the Spanish policy. You will not get free from it.

Prime minister Pedro Sánchez of the socialist party PSOE was brought unexpectedly to power in may last year following a thrilling plot. Catalan and basque nationalists put then stop for högerledaren Mariano Rajoys and the Partido Populars (PP) eight-year rule. Sánchez has set himself up PSOE during the past year, and the latest poll gives him some chances to form the government.
But then, everything must match. First and foremost, the left party Podemos to hold the fort as his to some extent due. Podemos has lost voters to the socialist party PSOE, among other things, because the party leaders refused to distance itself from the dictatorship in Venezuela, which was paid when Podemos was launched. One of the founder flustered recently the party when he told me how well-fed the Venezuelan inhabitants are. A couple of hundred thousand refugees from there is a visible element in Spain’s major cities and images from the famine Caracas is given large space in the media.

Spanish viewers are accustomed to the contrast between Iglesias ponytail and a simple blue shirt and the rest of the men’s identical dark suits. But the difference was not just external. Socialistledaren Pedro Sánchez, the conservative Partido popular national Pablo Casado and the liberal national party Ciudadanos Albert Rivera rattled off figures in breakneck speed and made a pretence of spontaneous outcomes against each other. Iglesias, who has a lot of extreme opinions, however, managed to make the most moderate impression. He conversed quietly with the viewers, and quoted all the time the Spanish constitution in an ingenious way.
Keep Sánchez its management into the goal but a race for stödpartiet Podemos so he can reach the 176 necessary mandate to form a government. But not without horse-trading with the basque, canarian and maybe Catalan regionspartier. Socialistledaren is winning and photogenic, but few voters have förförts of Sánchez, the sense that he is a politician who is ready to almost anything. On Thursday told a medical director at one of Madrid’s main hospitals with empathy about how she distrusts Sánchez.
” Oh, who will you vote for?
” I have already poströstat. On Sánchez. I have no one else to vote for.
