Santiago Abascal criticizes Spanish Government and expands international alliances

Vox leader Santiago Abascal has intensified his political confrontation with Pedro Sánchez’s government, using a widely shared video to attribute various national issues to the current administration. Abascal specifically denied responsibility for the deterioration of public services, linking the situation to rising healthcare waiting lists. He also accused the government of failing to manage housing costs and immigration issues.

Beyond domestic policy, Vox is actively working to strengthen its position within the international far-right network. Through the Disenso Foundation and Foro Madrid, Abascal has built strategic connections with global leaders, including Javier Milei, José Antonio Kast, Viktor Orbán, and Marine Le Pen. This network, which includes the concept of an ‘Iberosfera’ to link Spain with Latin America, positions Vox as a central hub for transnational conservative and ultranationalist alliances, creating competition with the traditional conservatism of the Partido Popular.
