Vox Logo.

Vox is a Spanish political party. It takes strongly conservative, right-wing populist, and Euroskeptic positions on issues.[1][2] Led by Santiago Abascal, the party also is pro-life,[3] and it opposes gun control laws,[4] the homosexual agenda,[5] and illegal immigration.[6] It also opposes succession movements, supporting Spanish unity and the Spanish monarchy.[7] To the annoyance of left-wing parties, Vox has celebrated the Reconquista, when Christian Spaniards reconquered Spain from the Muslims.[8] Like other conservative and right-wing populist European parties, Vox has been falsely labeled "far-right" by the Left and the media.[9] 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.[10]

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][11] Because of this victory, it automatically gained a seat in the Spanish Senate.[12] Vox continued growing,[13] and it entered Spain's parliament for the first time in the April 2019 elections.[14] Also in 2019, Vox took part in the governing coalition of Madrid.[15]

By late 2019, Vox had visibly influenced Spanish politics in a conservative direction.[16]
