History

Historical Context

Vox, a far-right party in Spain, has called for the resignation of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, echoing historical tensions surrounding Spain's political landscape. Since its formation in 2013, Vox has capitalized on nationalist sentiments, opposing Catalan independence and advocating for a unitary state. This mirrors past movements, such as the rise of Francoist ideologies, which sought to centralize power and suppress regional identities in Spain.
