Certainly, it is not good news. Spanish conservative populism tends to br very pro-NATO and very Catholic (like Poland's). I am not aware of any close relationship between both, but they are certainly "brothers in arms.".
Isn't there a non-trivial debate as to whether El Yunque in fact exists or ever existed? With all the blatant and open links between various national populist groups around the world these days, is it really necessary to use less than solid links here?
Nice article, but the statement "the People’s Party (PP)—a conservative political party in the European Christian-democratic vein—squeaked out a win over the current Socialist regime (33.1% to 31.7%, respectively" is likely to mislead readers in countries, inlcluding the US, with plurality systems. In proportional representation systems, you win by forming a coalition with majority, not plurality, support (modulo some complications about thresholds etc). All a plurality gives you is first go at putting together a majority. Saw the same problem with early reporting of the Polish election.

I've been wondering about the swings in electoral process in Spain...thank you for the update.
I wonder whether the recent unexpectedly strong win by the pro-democracy coalition in Poland further weakens Vox.

Imagine that in Spain, despite everything that happend during the dictatorship, there are still many people who think that Franco was a good person.
