  1. Classic victim blaming here from the Senior Editor of The Economist, and a false argument we have all the time from the Madrid media. The rise of the far-right in Spain is the fault of the Spanish state for not doing anything to confront it. @michaelreid52/1190765395474554881

      Green represents municipalities that voted Vox in April this year. Widespread support in Spain outside Catalonia, Basque country, and Galicia. If your electorate is voting far-right, the problem is closer to home than Catalonia.

        In fact, the few square blocks in Madrid where the royal palace is located voted Vox. The three Catalan municipalities with large Spanish military camps also did so. Perhaps The Economist could turn their keen journalistic gaze on those fine pillars of the Spanish state instead?
