Spain's far-right Vox party is expected to see a significant upswing in a general election on April 28 — but unlike other nationalist movements in Europe that have been a response to immigration, Vox's rise is down to a more homegrown crisis.
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has come under fire for being open to talks with Catalan separatists. And he could once again need their support to form a viable government should his Spanish Socialist Workers' Party fail to gain a majority of votes, as expected. Rather than blaming the elections watchdog, Vox's leader Santiago Abascal blamed separatist parties for the decision, saying"it is clear who still commands in Spain: the separatists."In Sunday's forthcoming general election, Vox could gain 11% of the vote that would give it as many as 27 seats in parliament. It is certainly on track to become the first far-right party to sit in parliament since 1982, Reuters noted.
The party was founded in late 2013 and publicly launched in early 2014. Later that year, it elected Abascal, one of its founders, as its president. In Sunday's election, the governing socialist party is expected to increase its number of parliamentary seats, ahead of the People's Party and Ciudadanos. Vox is vying for fourth place with the left-wing Podemos party.
