The Spanish Elections Demonstrate the Importance of the Culture War
Everything points to Spain being Europe’s Venezuela, and the government will ultimately be chosen by all of Spain’s enemies.

Spain’s political impasse looks set to drag on as both the Left and Right search for coalition partners. Meanwhile, VOX leader Santiago Abascal blamed polling companies for spoiling the day for populists.
With Spain in the EU presidency and European elections coming up next year, the shortfall of the Right in Spain is having repercussions in Brussels as well.
Were the PP to govern now, it is unlikely that it would try to resolve the asymmetries of the Spanish system on display during these elections, especially with Núñez Feijóo at the helm.
Despite substantially increasing their vote share, party president Alberto Feijóo could face a challenge from regional PP leader Isabel Díaz Ayuso, as socialists contemplate an unstable alliance with Catalan separatists to form a new coalition.
The Spanish Right comes out on top, but lacks the numbers to form a right-wing government.
European countries are slamming the door one after the other on the 2030 Agenda and progressivism. If Spain were to follow this trend, it would be a huge blow for progressives.
The Partido Popular is solidifying its lead in the final ten-day stretch of the campaign, despite socialist accusations warning that a coalition between conservatives and VOX will revive Francoism.
Spain’s president appears to be paying for his personal political travel expenses with taxpayer money.
Apart from VOX, whose position as third largest party in the country and junior party in a future coalition with the PP is likely, a few more parties are worth mentioning.
