Keep in mind that in Spain there is not only Fake News, but also Fake Democracy. These people are trying to make a cheap fake MAGA.

 

Vox will 'make Spain great again' as part of next government, far-Right party insists

 

>“In Spain we are considered the fascist, ultra-radical right,” says Ivan Espinosa de los Monteros. “But then Spain is the world-champion of political correctness.” He prefers a comparison with Donald Trump and can’t resist promising, in his perfect, American-accented English, to “drain the swamp, build that wall, and make Spain great again”.

 

>[…]For the first five years of its existence Vox, founded in 2013, barely troubled the opinion pollsters, as analysts suggested that memories of Franco, and the right-of-centre domination of the People’s Party (PP), had inoculated the country from national-populist surges familiar elsewhere.

>Even being the most junior partner in government would have been far beyond the party’s recent aspirations. But Mr Espinosa now expects to do better still. “I expect us to get to 15 per cent,” he says. “We will not be third of the three parties in that coalition. We will have a larger share of influence in the new government than that.”

 

>He is equally dismissive of Brussels - “such a concentration of waste” - but has no plans to leave the EU, from which Spain is a net recipient of several billion euros each year. The EU is instead for Vox the site of a cultural battle - having, in Mr Espinosa’s eyes, been “taken over by this cohort of progressives imposing a certain philosophical agenda”.

 

>Again, it is a policy which inevitably sets Vox on a collision course with the UK. “When the UK calls and says we’ve found bank robbers in Marbella, the Spanish police arrive in hours, arrests them and sends them over,” says Mr Espinosa. “When the Germans ring and say we’ve found this child molester hiding in Majorca, we’ll get him too. But when we ring and say our criminals are hiding in plain sight - one of them is a teacher at Edinburgh University - the UK comes back and says we don’t trust your judicial system. We don’t really believe Spain is a democracy.”
