Right-wing populist VOX party has entered a Spanish regional parliament for the first time after gaining 11% of the vote and 12 seats in Andalusia on Sunday…apparently remembering how awful living under Islamic rule for 700 years was for their ancestors. The dominant Socialist party’s support appears to have collapsed in the heartland where it has ruled since 1982.
Breitbart (h/t Maria J) VOX has won 12 seats in Spain’s most populous region, according to preliminary results where around 99 per cent of votes have been counted, Reuters reports. In less than three years, VOX has risen from one percent to 11 percent and is now the third-largest party in the Andalusian province of Almería.
VOX was founded in 2013 as an offshoot of the conservative People’s Party by José Antonio Ortega Lara, and the party president is Santiago Abascal (pictured above). Describing itself as Christian democratic, it is pro-life, critical of multiculturalism, and in favour of strong national borders, arguing — like U.S. President Donald Trump — that “a nation without borders is not a nation”.
The small but increasingly popular party, which opposes Catalan independence and has vowed to crack down on Muslim immigration and abortion, exceeded all predictions and could now hold the key to the formation of the next government of the populous southern region.
The results in Andalusia, normally a left-wing stronghold where 20 percent of the country’s population lives, represent a first major gain for right-wing populism in Spain which is currently led by Socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez.
EuropeElects reports that “The electoral defeat of the centre-left PSOE (S&D) in today’s regional election in Andalusia reflects the downward trend of almost all centre-left, social democratic and socialist parties in Europe.”
Abascal, like right-wing populist Matteo Salvini, has accused NGOs of “acting like taxis,” trafficking third-world migrants to Europe, with Spain becoming a focal point for migrant arrivals from Africa in recent months.
The party’s main objective, it states, is to put “Spaniards First” — another nod to President Trump and his America First philosophy — with party general secretary Ortega Smith telling a rally in October: “Together we will make Spain great again!”
Socialists have governed the southern region since the end of Franco’s rule in 1975, with the Socialists falling short of a majority, gaining only 33 seats in the 109 seat chamber. Of the other parties, the left-wing Podemos is estimated to have only 17 seats, the somewhat right-leaning Ciudadanos 21, and the nominally conservative People’s Party 26.
This means that the left could lose control of the regional parliament without enough allied parties, with Ciudadanos and the People’s Party able to form a union with the backing of VOX and others to gain a functioning majority.
VOX voters are said to have come from both the left and the right, disenfranchised by establishment politics, with one voter telling AFP that Spain was “getting worse” under the Socialists.
What’s more, VOX welcomes the recent decisions of the Prosecutor’s Office and the courts to invalidate the measures adopted by several Spanish municipalities (Gijón, Langreo …) in favor of a cultural, social and economic boycott of Israel. VOX not only condemned the boycott campaigns against Israel, but considers that the ties with Israel must be deepened in all areas. Israel must be treated as it is to any other democracy, without double standards.
Election of Vox Party considered a “political earthquake” in Spain.
Europe was overwhelmingly pious Christians. This report brings hope for Europe to get back to it’s values.
Let us all hope and pray that this will happen.
There’ s hope in the air. We’re seeing it everywhere in Western and Central Europe.
I believe Muslums call Spain “Andalusia” & vow to return. As if Spain wants them back. Spain will have to rise up & kick them out again!
This is great news about VOX! It’s heartwarming to see how Trumps “Make America Great Again” & “Americans First” is catching on everywhere in other countries, other peoples.
SPANIARDS FIRST!!! Yes!
Please God, greatly bless VOX and her highly ethical leaders!
God has raised up GOOD, WONDERFUL men who refuse to sell their souls.
Men who refuse to sell out their own nations and people to CRUEL MUSLIM CONQUEST and the Enforcement of BARBARIC SHARIA on non-Muslims.
May God have mercy and help all of our nations against the cruel onslaught.
Bravo…..common sense at work….finally
I live andulucia, its muslim hellhole! Becoming worse each day, towns kike Huelva, Seville, Lepe, Cartaya, cadiz, marbella, malaga, fuengirola, muslims freeloaders, full of these nazi muslims, all on benefits, mone work except in drug dealing,,pimping, thefts and taquiya!!! Spain needs another reconquista, portugal is also in the grip of portuguese leftists, who are importing muslim invaders on buses in the middle of the night, and planting hoardes of muslim scum into small portuguese villages and towns in algarve region and beyond! Portugal is full of leftwingers in councils and librarys, its fucking angi white racist pc hell hole!!!
Death to islam!!!
Churchill, it seems that Spain has become the new destination for the Muslim invaders from Libya, now that Italy has shut its ports.
Churchill, God bless you, your family and Spain.
Jesus Christ is our King! Europe has been Christian for 2,000 years!
The UN, EU and Western leader Rabid GOD HATERS have maliciously perpetrated massive Muslim colonization on our Christian nations to PERMANENTLY DESTROY Christians and Christianity.
In the end, God wins and gives great and everlasting victory, foretold in the OT Bible and the NT Bible in the last book of the Bible, Revelations. However, terrible suffering is coming in the years ahead as can be seen.
Please God, Help and PROTECT Spain and all of our Christian nations and Israel.
Churchill,
My heart is crying for Spain and Portugal.
You have lost the protection of the lord by your own actions. Unless you return to him whatever you do will be unsuccessful. Just that you can put up a resistance movement. Do you think your people wanted to bring these people? Your immigration rules were very strict that even very competent can not come in. Still the trash of the world is invited in and treated like precious jewels.
Fight my friend protect your culture and your identity don’t allow Islam or the left wing liars to divide you.
Some country are still in time. Germany, England and Sweden already lost freedom of speech, so the only thing they have to do is to watch and waiting, or going away.
France… we’ll se how it ends. I don’t trust them much.
