News about Santiago Abascal

Voters in the 27 EU states have delivered a stinging rebuke to the bloc's centrist and Left-wing politicians.  Elections to the 720-member European Parliament have seen hard-Right parties triumph, with voters expressing frustration with mass migration. So where have Right-wing parties fared well? Victory for the Right-wing, populist Freedom Party in Austria - which won 25.7 per cent of the vote - sums up the nightmare facing the EU elite. While the party doesn't want Austria to leave the bloc, it wants the EU's budget slashed by half and powers returned to member states. It also opposes EU intervention in Ukraine and sanctions against Russia.

Pedro Sanchez, Spain's acting Prime Minister, has sparked a lot of anxiety over his promise of amnesty for Catalan separatists. Sanchez received the support of the National Basque Party (PNV) and the Canaries' Union, as well as the National Basque Party (PNV) and the Canaries' Coalition. As a result, he seems to be guaranteed another term in office after securing the support of the regional parties, granting him a absolute majority in the 350-member lower house in the coming days. Sanchez's relationship with the Catalan rebels has opened up a gap in Spanish society and puts the ability of his own political family in jeopardy, according to observers.

A rainbow-striped banner commemorating Pride Week had been draped over the long balcony of Valladolid, northern Spain, every June (inset). But last month, it was nowhere to be seen. Rather, flying from flagpoles on the baroque-style building overlooking one of Europe's most picturesque squares, the national yellow-and-red flag of Spain, as well as those from the city's and the immediate province of Castile and Leon. The banner's demise was due to the fact that the Right Wing swept to power here in municipal elections a month earlier, dethroning the ruling Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE). 'It was the first sign of a culture change in our city, which is especially popular during Pride Week,' Valladolid's defunct Left-wing mayor, Oscar Santiago, told the Mail this week.

Protesters staged Fasc salutes as the body of a fascist Spanish movement was retrieved and moved from the historic Valley of The Fallen Mausoleum. Jose Antonio Primo de Rivera (top left), also known as Jose Antonio, was the father of the Falange movement, which favored the Francoist regime. A few supporters gathered outside the complex's once-known as the Valley of the Fallen to make the gesture or shouted 'Jose Antonio is present' or 'Long live Spain' as his hearse passed. A larger crowd of about 150 Falange supporters assembled outside the San Isidro cemetery in southern Madrid, where he was supposed to be reburied, but police refused to arrest him.

In a video message played at a rally in Madrid on Sunday, Donald Trump expressed his support for Spain's far-right. Trump appeared on the less than 40-second video from an airplane thanking Spain's far-right Vox Party and lauding its leader Santiago Abascal for a 'good job,' a comradery that was returned to the stage when he spoke. Notably, the rally featured messages from leaders and political figures from Europe's populist right, including Italy's Giorgia Meloni and Hungary's Viktor Orban.
