"Spain's Resilience: Defying the Far-Right Surge in the EU"

Spain has bucked the trend of the rise of far-right parties in Europe, as the recent elections showed a setback for the far-right Vox party. Despite forming coalitions with the conservative Popular Party in various regions, Vox lost seats and failed to form a coalition government at the national level. This contrasts with the success of far-right parties in other European countries. Experts suggest that Vox's radicalism and refusal to seek mainstream acceptance may have contributed to its decline in popularity, as it fueled a cultural war and targeted rights achieved in recent years.
