Smear[edit]

"Concurrently, Vox's result signalled the first time a far-right party had won seats in a regional parliament in Spain since the country's return to democracy, following the death of longtime dictator Francisco Franco in 1975"

VOX is not "far-right" and any link to Franco can only be described as an insult of a legit party. The party might be nationalist, right-wing, conservative, right-wing conservative or right-wing populist but clearly not "far-right". Please stop the left-wing smear.

Left-wing choice of pictures[edit]

5 different pictures are being shown, in four cases the leading candidate is smiling, only the VOX candidate is being shown with an open mouth in an unfavourable light. Biased.

Please, assume good faith. There is no other picture of Francisco Serrano available as other previously uploaded images did not have a valid licensing. Nonetheless, there's nothing wrong with the current pic (aside from it being old), and assuming it is "a left-wing choice" just because he is not smiling is rather ridiculous.

1 January 2023?[edit]

Is it necessary to posit 1-J as the latest date, when we can assume that the election won't be called to take place on New Year's Day? I doubt the legal situation was thoroughly checked on that point -- that is, whether it is possible in Spain to hold elections on a holiday. If it is, 18 December 2022 should be mentioned at least as the latest probable date, because the next two Sundays conflict with the holiday season. Kahlores (talk) 00:26, 17 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, but can we assume that? The 2015 Spanish general election was held on the latest possible legal date (20 December 2015). The 2006 Catalan regional election was held on 1 November (All Saints' Day). There's no regulation requiring for elections in Spain to not be held on a holiday (in fact, those are customarily held on Sundays, which are holidays in itself, but they can also be held throughout the week: see the 2017 Catalan regional election, which was held on a Thursday). It's true that in Andalusia there's an explicit regulation prohibiting elections from being held during the summer (from 1 July to 31 August), but technically nothing forbids Juan Manuel Moreno from calling the election for 1 January 2023. Likely? I'd say not that much, but attempting to guess out ourselves which other date will be the election date would fall under WP:CRYSTALBALL. So far, the article only shows the maximum timeframe in which the election can be held, without making any further assumptions as to whether it will be exhausted or not.

Luz Belinda Rodríguez party?[edit]

I'm looking through sources and it seems unclear which party Luz Belinda Rodríguez belongs to. I've seen a few sources saying she has hung the Falange española de las jons flag in her office but those don't say she's joined the group. This source says that she's set up a new political party called Libres, but gets advice from the Falange. How best to deal with that? Valenciano (talk) 21:49, 26 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

She did "align" with FE-JONS as sourced in the article (remaining as an independent, though), though this was back in 2020 and I'm not sure what has been of her ever since. She is unlikely to be of any significance in the long term anyway. Impru20^talk 21:58, 26 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Very true on long term significance, but may be due an update if this new party is confirmed. Valenciano (talk) 00:29, 27 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Why is the conservative-patriotic VOX smeared as "far-right"???[edit]

But you never consider the socialist Podemos party to be "far-left".

How about an objective term such as "conservative" or "right-leaning"??

62.226.84.10 (talk) 21:27, 29 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Because sources overwhelmingly describe Vox as a far-right party, whereas they are not so overwhelming for Podemos (which, btw, does not even contest this election as such). Cheers. Impru20^talk 06:11, 30 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Which sources? The far-left mainstream media is hardly credible at all. Only 40 percent of Americans trust media outlets according to Gallup. 93.206.55.203 (talk) 01:46, 20 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Why does VOX "failed to meet expectations" according to the article....[edit]

when the two minor left-wing parties lost more than half of their previously held seats?

13.5 percent is not a bad result and it should not be framed that way. Its still an increase both in terms of vote share and seats.
