Could Spain’s snap election end with the first far-right party in power for half a century?

- In Spain, polls are about to close in the country's snap general election.
(Subscribe: bit.ly/C4_News...)
The Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez called the vote after his socialist party's poor showing in recent local elections.
His main rival is Alberto Nunez Feijoo - leader of the conservative Popular Party.
If he’s unable to win outright, he may look to the Vox party for support - the first time a hard right party would be in government since General Franco's regime ended nearly half a century ago.

Wow, British media reporting on Spain, showing a complete lack of understanding of the country and it's politics but reporting non the less
As long as people click they've already won
Yep, that’s our UK media. Embarrassing really.
Just about all we get in Britain is fake news. It's rather like American news
Hopefully. Not that the "far right" is any better or worse than the "far left" but most nations now need political realignment. The far left have destroyed pretty much everything at this point, it is the first step to getting back to sensible centrist politics.
The entire western world has been devastated by the far-left / radical-left. Worse yet peole are so brianwashed by the MSM that they believe anything that isn't left-wing is racist and evil. They don't think for themselves anymore becuase their masters on Twitter tell them what to think
Why do the British media call everyone far right?
Shamelessly showing videos of a Spanish government doing Nazi salutes, convinced this new party is the same thing.
The stupidest reporters on planet earth are at channel 4.
Because the Regime is Antiwhite.
not just british media
Maybe theyv'e had enough of Radical Far left !
Enough with Socialist shite!
No! The socialist party just had its best electoral result since 2008 gaining 1 million more votes than the previous elections! The People's Party underperformed the polls and the far right party VOX lost 19 seats!!! The media was feeding into the narrative that the socialist party was doomed for months yet they have outperformed the polls not losing but gaining parliamentary seats!
When did family values become "far right" ???
When the schools started preaching leftist diatribes.

Channel 4: Oh no, a democratic election that might elect someone we dont like
Absolutely. Bringing up Franco's dictatorship images while talking about a certain politic party is just disgusting.
@@elenapoe3424 not when it's accurate
Channel 4: we must protect democracy by not counting the votes like we did to Americans.
The likes of Steve Bannon, Mike Pompeo were keen in propping up European far-right movements in aims to breakup EU, same for Conservatives in UK with their insults towards EU and EU politicians (UK ERG politicians were particularly vocals).
So if Spaniards nationalists takeout Gibraltar, it would be hilarious.
The BBC and Channel 4 are far left Stalinist institutions
The piece is so missleading that is scary! Absolutely moving away from Channel 4! Its absolutely Disgraceful
Pretty much every right wing party is called far right in Europe.
So if I Google Vox and look up their policies, will I find a hostility to democracy, a wish to set up an autocratic police state, and a willingness to use violence? Or are they socially conservative types who don't like mass immigration much? Because I trust C4's definition of far-right as far as I can throw it.
They are a regular right-wing party. Nowadays anything to the right of Stalin is considered by leftwing media as far right. I find amusing that they never mention the real far-left parties
Well, no, they aren't going to publish that on their website, are they? Because they need to win over enough popular support to gain majority, and then, when they've achieved power, they can implement all of the things you listed above. That's typically the modus operandi of the far-right.
Yes, they are NOT only anti immigration. They are a fascist pro-Franco party who is also misogynist (this is a characteristic of all anti-democratic (autocratic) governments) - and anti gay, and with all the other fascist characteristics. I know some people do not share or vary in immigration policies, this alone does not make you a fascist. They all seem also to be helped by groups allied to anti-west oligarch sentiments, like Russia. Same as with LePen in France, and a large group in the current GOP Republican Party in the US. You will see more of this in the news later.
Populist conservatism is fascism though.

Are you suggesting Spain is going all 1936 again?
Somehow, I personally don't think so! Don't stir, C4.
Spain had no possible good outcome in that war. They were either going to be a under a Fascist government or a Stalinist government. Freedom was going to be crushed either way
By ‘far right’ do they just mean not WEF puppets?
Im so happy to see europe' finally standing up to the fucking disgrace our leaders have allowed to happen in our continant

Just being on the left is far-right to the extreme left and uk media.
You need to research politics more mate you have no idea what left or right is
You talk like all UK media is not constantly pandering to Starmer and their lib-dem approach, while pissing on anything Corbyn or Johnson related.
@@wrestlingp Well it keeps moving depending on the latest fad. What is factual is anything right of extreme left is right.
If you move the Overton Window so far to the Left, you can make pretty much any sensible centrist idea appear to be "far-right".
Exactly! that's what they are doing!
Best comment yet.
The meanings of left and right have changed. I don't know about Spain, but the UK's Labour is in no way left-wing in the traditional sense and I have no doubt the same is true for most of Europe. Most modern left-wing parties no longer advocate taking ownership of the means of production. The USSR failing and China adopting free-market policies have removed nationalising everything from the table. What has taken over is cultural Marxism i.e. the idea of restructuring society with the goal of achieving equal outcome regardless of class, gender, ethnicity etc. by so-called positive discrimination or affirmative action.
Open borders were never a socialist idea. Communist states such as China and the USSR, had tighter border controls than any capitalist countries. The idea of open borders comes from the EU and the capitalist idea of freedom of movement in order to improve trade. It's only the so-called far right parties which oppose it.
Something needs to change. Open borders are creating problems in Europe and the US which should be obvious. Cheap labour from low wage economies is driving down wages, the rise in population is pushing up property prices to unaffordable levels and the fact most of the incomers have a different culture and are not integrating is causing tension with the native population. None of the mainstream parties want better border control, because it benefits the elites. People have no choice but to vote for alternatives.
Well said! Though do we expect the far right to actually understand what the Overton window is? Fat chance
@@alunjones3860you perfectly touched on the problem Europe and the us had the idea that if we did deals with China then they would change and be like us that never happened and it never will we are the one's that changed due to some of their ideals and some other horrible left wing policy's
the main stream media are like the extreme left, so when they say far right it’s pretty much centrist left 😂😂😂😂😂
You can tell you've never studied politics, silly little caveman

Not Far Right but Right So Far.
Channel 4 fake news
At least the BBC and ITV used the term right wing as opposed to far right in their headlines for a change
When you have a party that is actually far-right who was posturing to entering the government, then yeah it makes sense to call such a party far-right.
It's not the fucking UK or US politics where they didn't have a history of actually having fascist parties in power and attempting to ravage the world and kill jews or other undesirable races when given the chance.
Countries like Spain, Italy, Germany, etc. have an actual presence of people who still yearn for the years when fascist parties ruled their countries, their supporters among the population that survived didn't really disappear into thin air.
Perhaps channel 4 is even further left than the BBC... I didnt think that was ever possible😂
🟦 Franco was not a Fascist. 🟥
@@Just_another_Euro_dude No he didn't. Why do you clowns make stuff up? He was a Reactionary Monarchist Conservative. He refused to join the Axis. Used both Fascists abroad and within to win the Spanish Civil War. He didn't implement Falangist policies. He collaborated with the Allies. If he was Fascist (like the actual Spanish Fascists Falangist), he would've joined the war. Stop making things up.
Franco wasn't Fascist but Reactionary Conservative Monarchist. Showing Franco with Hitler is misleading. Franco refused to enter the war on the Axis side when Hitler begged (which is what those meetings you show were about). The only Fascists in Spain were the Falangists. Carlists and Alfonsism were much larger than Falangists.
And the answer was: NO.
what is wrong with Channel 4 peddling hatred of anyone who isn't a migrant , transgender or a paedophile ? We all have opinions , and they have a right to theirs.
Far Right 🤣🤣
Is it strange how globally countries are dealing with challenges are based around the same topics and they’re all supported by socialist 🤔. I wonder which variable is static, the socialist or the topics?
Fantastic news. At last the tide is starting to turn. Italy now Spain. Hopefully France will be next. Superb.

If you are not pervert or child groomer you are far right according to british media.
I have been gay since my early teens, I’ve been in the furry fandom since age twelve and I’m also a femboy. I have never been so appalled at what’s happening with society today.
A large portion of the LGBTQIA+ community is radical left biased, which is sub par to the definition concerning supporting the rights of decent people.
The aforementioned group was once formed to support the rights of people like me, and I feel qualified to say that it has gone rogue, it heavily violates our principles for this to be forced into schools into childrens’ faces.
There’s a definitive line between supporting LGBT+ rights, and utilising modern day social engineering and psychological operations to manipulate the plasticity of young minds into a malformation of corrupt ideologies.
Oh you mean Catholicism which VOX openly supports? Yeah they touch kids.
Wow, your post took a completely different turn than what I was expecting, based upon the first sentence. Glad I took the time to read the rest.
Please explain this to the majority of pride supporting straight people...
Go live in Iran if you're disappointed. Worm.
Can you explain what you mean when you say you're gay but that most of the LGBTQIA community are subpar when it comes to supporting the rights of "decent people"?
Why have you, as a gay man, separated out gay people from decent people?
Or are you saying that those who are ruthless are decent?
Do you support the Tories change to housing that means houses now cost 10x average salary, when it was 3x back in the early 1980s before Thatcher's policies destroyed affordable housing and caused a 300% increase in house prices in her 11 years?
Other countries in Europe such as France, Austria and Holland have increasing single person home ownership, while in Britain it's collapsing because of Tory policies.
Why do you want British people to suffer wages cuts every year in real terms while prices are raised because of greed-flation?
The level of exploitation by the rich against the British people is disgusting.

WELL DONE SPAIN
Right! So proud Spain! The media insisted for months that the center right (PP) and far right (VOX) would win the elections while the socialist party would lose a lot of seats but WE STOPED THAT! The right parties underperformed the polls, VOX lost 19 seats! PP was 20+ seats below the poll expectations while the socialist party PSOE outperformed the polls, not losing seats but actually gaining!!! Best electoral result for the socialist party since 2008!
Excellent 👍 more people not learning lessons we should have learnt 80 years ago. The christian propaganda is working.

How is it far right? And why not so much dismay for the far left then? Surely both extremes are bad.
But guess what. It just failed
As they used to be.
Are taxpayers money is funding a far right country in Ukraine.
I am very curious what they mean by the FAR RIGHT. The left is losing traction in many places, nationalism is becoming more important to many people. No bias here at all.
They are considering Far Right to the Francoist party, VOX. Same as in Italy the #proudofMussolini party FdI is considered FR; Same as LePen in France is considered the same. You know: Far Right.
Waaay better than a far wrong one 🤷♂️

@@End-Resultthat is the side you are on, right=pro-Russia.
Not surprising considering the country hasn't properly reckoned with the legacy of Franco and has kept its ties with Francoist Opus Dei.
Very strange and indoctrinated people!
This has got nothing to do with Franco. What the mainstream media deem to be far-right, is completely different to the parties who took over Spain, Italy and Germany in the 1930s. All they want is more border control and a return to more traditional family values. They don't want to make being non-straight illegal, stop women from working, or discriminate against ethnic minorities. They just want a return to most of the social policies of around 10 years ago, which the majority agreed with back then.
Yay for Opus Dei. Smart people of integrity.
You really have no clue what Opus Dei is do you?

Channel 4 trying to suggest vox is evil and spain is going back to Franco times 😂
Good
What are the far right policies and actions Vox will take if they win power? This news report was very short on specifics.
Lefty Channel 4. Too obsessed with calling people "far right" without substance to back up their childish claims.
1. Eliminate the autonomous communities of Spain and essentially erase the cultural plurality of Spain making it a single political entity.
2. Make visible the presence of the militar administration (and I quote their political agenda) "specially in separatist territories" (basically insight fear into civilians for subordination)
3. Eliminate the law of "Democratic Memory" wich tries to remember and provide justice to the victims of the Spanish Civil War and Franco-ist Dictatorship
4. Return British Gibraltar back to Spain
5.
God job Spain

Not far right but only RIGHT
FUNERAL SERVICE FOR BYRON DUNKLEY AT CHRISTIANA SDA CHURCH IN JAMAICA ON RUclips LIVE NOW
Viva Cristo Rey!
God willing.
A sober-minded consideration of the European political landscape. Not just Finland. It seems to be trending more broadly throughout the continent.
Both VOX (far right) and Sumar/Podemos (far left) have lost support, compared to previous elections (which is a good thing).
The two more sensible options PP (Conservatives) and PSOE (Labour) have both gained support (a lot more in the case of the PP, regaining ground lost to VOX previously).
The problem is that neither have enough seats to form a government without dropping their trousers!
It's a real pity we lost the main central party (Cuidadanos)due to their incompetence and unrealistic ambitions!
Had they formed a proper coalition with PSOE (before they cocked it up and lost all their support), the PSOE wouldn't have had to drop their pants to the nationalist (minority, when it comes to overall national population) parties, and we wouldn't be in the mess we're in now.
"So what you are saying is ......."
Channel 4's idea of reporting :
Ask a question then change the answer into what they wished you had said.
A totally untrustworthy organisation - laugh at them.
I hope so.

Good luck to em. Far Right uk wins will hopefully follow. . Well we can dream
We're on our way. The EU gone, and with that the Conservatives are exposed as in favour of mass immigration, selling our industry abroad, etc, all the things they blamed on the EU. They are unlikely to recover from the next GE defeat. A few years of equally useless Labour, and then they get crushed by whatever in the next few years develops on the Right. Whether an existing party or a new one. Just like has happened in the rest of Europe. Be interesting to see what develops.

@@zenster1097 you've been living under a rock for the last 13 years then
I do feel that the Spanish Left have gone too far. Podemos, avowedly Communist, have had far too much say in the Sanchez government. Pablo Iglesias, the former leader, stated that he wished to end religion and the Catholic church's influence as well as get rid of the Spanish monarchy. Podemos had connections with Maduro's Venezuela and also the Communists of Catalunya. Sanchez himself has some unsavoury connections including his father-in-law who owns a male brothel in Madrid. Whilst I was on a crowded commuter train in Valencia recently I saw two young women, standing by the doors, deep kissing each other in full view of other passengers. Even hetero couples wouldn't do that. It's the sort of behaviour that just hands power to extremist politicians. Very silly.
It's only natural for one to feel disgust when they see people they find unattractive being intimate. I'm sure you would have had a similar reaction, had it been an old fat straight couple. There's nothing phobic about that.
I completely agree with you!!
Just because you don't agree or understand something doesn't make it wrong. You wouldn't want people who don't agree with your beliefs telling you how to live, or worse making what you believe in illegal. And why would you want religions to have an influence on how your government is run? I have nothing against religion, but it rarely mixes well with government. Religious groups can be as corrupt as any special interest group, businesses, politicians etc.
The monarchy thing you mentioned, I know nothing about, we don't have that in my country.
@@hog7203 I'm not strongly religious myself and see religion as both good and bad. Like all organisations it can be corrupt, but Christianity has given Europe many good things: a legal system which awards compensation to victims, respect for human life, a guilt, rather than shame based society i.e. one avoids doing something immoral because it's bad, rather than through fear of social stigma. Atheist societies tend to adopt other ideologies, just as irrational as religion and it doesn't end well either. We saw that in the USSR and Mao's China. Elements of the modern left have some equally crazy ideologies based around intersectionality.
It's a bad idea to simply tear down ancient institutions for no good reason at all. Things changing, slowly along with society is one thing, but revolutions rarely go smoothly.
Franco was the last truly great Catholic leader. Also Franco is not a fascist he was a nationalist there is a massive difference.

Sanchez, pretty much the worst garbage that Spain's endured these past years
