translated from Spanish: The ultrarreaccionario outbreak arrived in Spain: what is Vox?

make large Spain again, that is the watchword. Recycled from the President of the United States Donald Trump, who in turn republish the campaign message posed by Ronald Reagan, the Vox party has landed abruptly on the front page of newspapers in the world following the election in Andalusia. What is and? What happened in Andalusia?
At the moment, Spain is divided into 17 autonomous communities, these provinces and within each province, in town halls. Of the existing communities, one is that of Andalusia, composed of Almeria, Cadiz, Cordoba, Granada, Huelva, Jaen, Malaga and Sevilla.Cuando one is for in this geography there are some data that Excel and highlight the relevance of the region: is the second Community largest of Spain by extension autonomous, concentrated one of the highest rates of unemployment in the country, has been governed for 35 years by the PSOE and is located 15 kilometers from Morocco (through the Strait of Gibraltar).

In numbers: Vox attained the fifth location with 11% of the votes, will enter twelve members of the Andalusian Parliament and at the moment seems to have key governance for, agreement, allow a Government together with the people’s Party and citizens, this is through, managing to meet the 55 seats needed. so is a triumph out fifth? Not in theory, but consider that in the 2015 general election obtained only 0.23% of the votes at the national level, as well as the following year the scope was even lower, with 0.20% of wills.
“Here they are, the phantom arrived in Spain with this ultrarreaccionario outbreak and a force of nearly 400,000 votes” victory, as they pointed to several analysts, is saying “here we are”, add a new party to the most extensive list of Europe, and in the Spanish case banish the idea that a country that knew the worst vices of nationalism with Franco, is not exempt from these movements. what instructions which proposes Vox?
In keeping with the bulk of these new parties, Vox raises slogans with certain common denominators: Defund health care for immigrants residing in conditions of illegality;
Raise a wall in Ceuta and Melilla (limit to the neutral zone which separates Spain from Morocco, where currently there is a wiring);
The struggle for a law for the protection of bullfighting (this is the “art” of dealing with Bulls);
Repeal the law on violence against women (considered it discriminatory);
Banning abortion in many points, Vox raises proposals similar to parties as an alternative to Germany (AfD), the Northern League in Italy, the front national of Marine Le Pen and same the Republican Party of Donald Trump.

It subtracted to know if the party that went to elections is the same that legislates. The truth is that to maintain his political gravitancia, Vox required several concessions with other spaces which, by tradition or image, surely will not want to run the political cost poured out from many of these ideas. would define them, nationalist,? fascists, of ‘right’?
In 2016, the weekly London published in The Economist raised a new dichotomy when analyzing the political and social variables that make the pulse of the world’s major powers. Against the historical understanding of the axes left – right as an analysis of the traditional parties and their identity traits, was taken as new counterpoint of the international situation of nationalism – openness.

The truth is that this approach may respond to an essentially economic and commercial profile. At the moment cannot find a homogeneity on the understanding that these new parties have on the development of national economies. However, in terms of social and political matrix, the coincidences are much higher. The logical differences that might exist between Spain, Germany, Austria and Denmark, there are tendencies of action shared by these spaces.

Front of the progress of individual freedoms and the conquest of rights, a portion of society is being convened by spaces where promoted conservatism gives new impetus to the eroded legitimacy of the traditional parties. Egalitarian marriage, abortion, migrants and gender ideology are some of the points of rejection and mancomunión between a skeptical electorate and political spaces in formation. Orban, Trump and Bolsonaro as symptoms, speech understanding hate speech as a policy is no longer silent. And likewise, win elections. As Caparros said, there is, at this time, good reason to believe that that Andalusian 11% could not replicate in general elections which in addition to its date of completion, have uncertainties of greater weight and depth since last Sunday.
