^ A: Vox is often considered part of the radical right, a subset of the far-right that does not oppose democracy.[3][23][24][25] | |
Vox (Spanish pronunciation: [boɣs]; Latin for 'voice'; often stylized in all caps) is a national conservative[26] political party in Spain. Founded in 2013, it is currently led by party president Santiago Abascal, and vice president and secretary-general Ignacio Garriga.[27] Vox has been described as right-wing and far-right.[21]
The party entered the Spanish parliament for the first time after winning seats in the April 2019 general election. Later that year, it received 3.6 million votes in the November 2019 general election, winning 52 seats and becoming the third-largest party in the Congress of Deputies. Its public support reached its peak within the next few years, according to the results of subsequent regional elections and opinion polling, but in the 2023 Spanish general election showed worse results: a loss of 19 seats in parliament (albeit whilst remaining the third-largest political party in Spain with roughly 3 million votes). In the European Parliament, the six deputies of Vox are members of Patriots for Europe.
