Spain’s Conservatives Consider Empowering Far Right

Spain’s conservative politicians are preparing an alliance with their far-right colleagues to replace Pedro Sánchez’s socialist government.

• Alberto Núñez Feijóo, head of the conservative People’s Party, confirmed yesterday that he is negotiating with the far-right Vox party ahead of the November 29 snap election.
• Part of the deal is an agreement to avoid competing in key areas, giving each party a higher chance of winning and thereby producing an overall conservative majority in the upper house of Spain’s parliament.

Spain has not had a far-right government since the death of dictator Francisco Franco in 1975. However, seven years after Vox first entered parliament, it has a real chance of entering the government.

• What’s happening in Spain resembles the 2022 Italian election, in which the politicians who took control of the government came from the successor party to Benito Mussolini’s fascists.

Fed up with socialist policies, Europeans across the Continent are shifting right, even at the risk of reviving extremist and dictatorial regimes. This trend lays the groundwork for another resurrection of the Holy Roman Empire, the beast of Revelation 17.
