The Socialists won the recent Spanish election, but far-right party Vox will enter parliament for the first time. Vox opposes multiculturalism, migration, and feminism. Italy's deputy PM from the right-wing League party congratulated ‘our friends in Vox for joining the parliament in Spain’. Its views on immigration and Islam place it in line with far-right and populist parties elsewhere in Europe. With European elections only weeks away, nationalist and far-right parties across Europe are sensing an opportunity for a rise in European nationalism. Italy’s anti-establishment Five Star Movement has common cause with Germany's main opposition party, AfD, the Finns Party, the Danish People's Party (who seize migrants’ property to pay bills), Austria's Freedom Party, France's National Rally, Sweden’s anti-immigration party, and several others, including Nigel Farage’s Brexit party.
