Spain is not longer a shining exception in Europe, but a “normal” country in the EU, and it is bad news for the EU. In the election in the region of Andalusia on Sunday 2nd. December beat party Vox on the outer right through with a loud crack and got the surprise 10,97 percent of the vote.
For the first time after the transition from dictatorship under general Francisco Franco to democracy gets to the outer right parliamentary representation in the country. Admittedly, the set frankisten Blas Piñar from Years Nueva in Deputertkammeret in Madrid after Franco & death. But it was finally in 1982, the year the current regime with the 17 sjølstyrte regions was introduced.
In – parliament in Seville, they get 12 seats of the 109, and sitting even on the teeter-totter with the power to determine who shall govern. Riksavisa El País calls it the “andalusian earthquake” and the newspaper El Sur in Malaga call it “historical upheaval”.
Valgnatta sent Marine Le Pen, the leader in National Assembly (formerly the National Front) in France their hearty lykkeønsker to the leaders of the Vox. When she did his peers in other EU countries are aware of the a party and some names in Spain that they had never heard about.
the Vox and the leader Santiago Abascal started the campaign on horseback, probably unaware that the “man on horseback” is the image of a military coup initiator from the old days. They are out on a crusade to “retake” Spain, which they call “la reconquista” , the word that is often used when the royal couple Isabel and Fernando conquered the moorish kingdom in Granada in 1492. Valgnatta in Seville celebrated the with to shout “¡Viva España!” – “Live Spain!” – that under Franco.
Vox will abolish landsdelenes sjølstyre and collect the power in Madrid, as well as banning the political parties which are fighting for independence for the counties in Catalonia and the Basque country. They will revoke the Law of Historical Memories, which prohibits the hylling of dictatorship under Franco, and is against moving the remains of Franco from his mausoleum. the
the Party is an expression of the maskulinisme against feminism, they want to abolish “kjønnslover”, as the law of domestic violence and all the affirmative action, because these affects men. It is also hostile to muslims and immigrants and want to build insurmountable walls around the Spanish enklavene Ceuta and Melilla on the african mainland.
Vox according to a valgundersøkelse a response on the region catalonia’s attempts to secede from Spain and on the power of båtflyktninger to the country. 54,5 per cent of their voters have previously voted on the PP. When the voters of their was asked to provide up to three reasons for voting Vox replied to 41.6 per cent immigration. 33.7 per cent answered the defence of a united Spain, 28 percent black to stop to stop the uavhengighetsforkjempere, 24,9 per cent to invalidate landsdelenes sjølstyre and 12 per cent in order to defend the national symbols (king, flag, and bullfighting). the
All of the last four answers can be linked to Catalonia. In a poll in the newspaper La Razón in going for the Vox 8.7 per cent support nationwide.
Vox has not no political program for Andalusia, where they are now to be involved in determining who shall govern, in addition to the new “communists”. Sosialistpartiet (PSOE) has ruled uninterrupted from 1982. The party won again the elections with 28 per cent of the votes, but it is the worst outcome in the story. Support from the Forwards Andalusia, a valgforbund around Podemos, does not provide a majority of the votes.
The conservative people’s party (PP) also did their historical worst choice with 20 per cent of the votes. Mellompartiet Ciudadanos (Cs) doubled stemmetallet from the elections in 2015 to 18 percent, but the party did not reach the goal to go past the PP. A civil cooperation between the PP and the Cs must have support from Vox, something they do not reject.
This valgutfallet and it furthermore happens of cooperation and enmity between the parties in Andalusia has a major following both in the rest of Spain, where there are municipal elections, elections in several regions, the election to the european parliament and perhaps also riksvalg next year.
But Ciudadanos want a collaboration with France’s president, Emmanuel Macron and his Republic on the March in the elections to the european parliament, and the Macron is unlikely to cooperate with someone who cooperates with the Le Pens friends in Spain. It will probably not the liberal group in the european parliament either. the
The former French prime minister, Manuel Valls, the time from the Sosialistpartiet (PS), has gone home to fødebyen Barcelona which is trying to become the mayor for Cs next year. He rejects all cooperation with the Vox. The party leader, Albert Rivera is caught when he is the party to the right to go past the PP in Spain and at the same time will find a place in the EUROPEAN union.
