Hi Alex,

Thank you for your text. Just a minor correction.

Unfortunately. In Portugal, the extreme right “Chega” was the third most voted in the last election (7.15% of the votes). In Spain Vox is the political umbrela for Francoism/Nazi/Nationalist movements. Vox is connected with Chega. Unfortunately.

I was going to reply to this too. Yes, in Spain Vox is also quite representative of the anti-vax movement. Santiago Abascal, its leader, has refused to say whether he's vaccinated or not: https://cadenaser-com.translate.goog/ser/2021/09/18/sociedad/1631954620_782993.html?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US&_x_tr_pto=wapp

This is party that is managing to attract everything that's fringe on the right and extreme right. One of its representatives in parliament tweeted "Trust the plan" on Jan 7th 2021: https://twitter.com/Macarena_Olona/status/1347341468218888192?s=20

Cheers,
