Vox is a Spanish political party. It takes strongly conservative, right-wing populist, and Euroskeptic positions on issues.^[1]^[2] The party also is pro-life,^[3] and it opposes gun control laws,^[4] the homosexual agenda,^[5] and illegal immigration.^[6] To the annoyance of left-wing parties, Vox has celebrated the Reconquista, when Christian Spaniards reconquered Spain from the Muslims.^[7] Like other conservative and right-wing populist European parties, Vox has been falsely labeled "far-right" by the Left and the media.^[8] The establishment has been highly biased against the party, with the Spanish Central Election Board banning the party from election debates despite it being in third place in polls.^[9]

In December 2018, Vox entered the parliament of Andalusia, the first time a Euroskeptic and right-wing populist party won seats in the country.^[3]^[10] Because of this victory, it automatically gained a seat in the Spanish Senate.^[11] Vox continued growing,^[12] and it entered Spain's parliament for the first time in the April 2019 elections.^[13] Also in 2019, Vox took part in the governing coalition of Madrid.^[14]
