Vox

Vox (VOX) – Spain is a nation­al con­ser­v­a­tive polit­i­cal par­ty in Spain, found­ed on 17 Decem­ber 2013 fol­low­ing a split from the People’s Par­ty (PP). It is led by San­ti­a­go Abas­cal and has rapid­ly gained influ­ence, enter­ing the Span­ish Par­lia­ment in 2019 and becom­ing the country’s third-largest par­ty. Vox pro­motes strong Span­ish nation­al uni­ty (oppos­ing region­al auton­o­my), strict immi­gra­tion enforce­ment, social­ly con­ser­v­a­tive val­ues, eco­nom­ic lib­er­al­ism com­bined with nation­al­ist pro­tec­tion­ism, Euroscep­ti­cism, and a cul­tur­al-Chris­t­ian iden­ti­ty. Its rise marks Spain’s shift away from its post-tran­si­tion polit­i­cal excep­tion­al­ism. The par­ty posi­tions itself as “right-wing with­out com­plex­es” and has formed alliances with oth­er far-right par­ties across Europe.
