🇪🇸 Spain’s socialist coalition government has called a snap election, which is to take place on 28th April. Vox - Spain’s first far-right party since the end of the Franco’s dictatorship - are predicted to perform well. Santiago Abascal, the founder of Vox, campaigned for Marine Le Pen in her 2017 presidential bid and has sought advice from Steve Bannon. Spain has until now resisted the pull of far-right that has affected the rest of Europe, but Vox’s combination of anti-Catalan separatism and anti-immigrant sentiment has seen them reach a 10% share in the most recent polls.
