Santiago Abascal seeks to consolidate Vox as a reference for the global far right at a time when Marine Le Pen emerges as a great political opportunity in 2027. The Spanish party believes it can reinforce its international role during the next political cycle.
The 2026-2027 political course that is now beginning is marked by the electoral calendar in Spain, where municipal and autonomous elections will be held on the last Sunday of May. The possibility of general elections continues to depend on the will of the head of Government, Pedro Sánchez.
The article places the Spanish context in a broader panorama of the rise of right-wing and far-right forces in Europe, with the expectation that Le Pen may take advantage of the French political conjuncture to consolidate her positioning in the international scenario.
Vox under Abascal positions itself as one of the reference parties for this internationalist tendency of the far right, seeking to remain relevant both domestically and in Europe.
