VOX’s program contains a battery of tax-cutting measures. In particular, it aims to incentivise family formation and child rearing by removing the tax burden on families.
Pegasus, Catalonia, and recent vote rigging scandals have fueled an atmosphere of distrust in the electoral process. Most polls predict a comfortable victory for the Right in this week’s Spanish parliamentary elections.
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.
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.
The coalition agreement also pledges to increase direct support for families, help the elderly, reduce taxes, cut red tape, and reduce “socially unproductive political spending” such as funds for separatist or pro-Catalan organizations.
It is dubious that Spain’s likely PP-led government will allow VOX to steer it away from its commitments to the UN’s 2030 Agenda, or away from acting like a slightly less ‘woke’ PSOE.
VOX and PP are cooperating at a regional level, while the Spanish Left warns that a national coalition between the centre and populist Right could alter the European balance of power.
