Vox leader calls for recognition of sovereign borders
The man who resuscitated the Spanish rightwing, is forty-three years old, with piercing gaze and well trimmed beard, and he always carries a Smith & Wesson on him. Since he created Vox in 2014, Santiago Abascal has made it the third political force in the country.

French President Emmanuel Macron has defended, in particular migration as well as the need for the European Union. Abascal on the other hand has been claiming national sovereignty and the control of borders, especially in Gibraltar and in the Spanish enclaves in Morocco.
He believes the national level is the right one to deal with the immigration problem. “The first step in resolving the migration issue is to respect national sovereignty and, therefore, borders. For decades, the European Union has imposed migration policies that are out of touch with the reality and the needs of member countries.”
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez formed his current coalition government relying on Catalan and Basque separatist parties. Abacal has had bodyguards since he was 18 because his parents were targeted by Basque separatists who burned their store.
“Every nation has the authority to decide who enters its territory,” Abascal told French weekly Valeurs Actuelles.
“Globalist currents have promoted a multicultural society which has failed and impoverished the lives of citizens in all areas: social, cultural and economic. Today, European women cannot walk freely in capital districts like Paris, London, Brussels, etc.
“In Spain we have not yet arrived at such a dramatic situation, but it is only a matter of time if we do not adopt the appropriate measures. At Vox, we therefore defend legal, orderly and assimilable immigration. Exactly the opposite of what globalist elites have been doing for decades.”
Abascal has called Macron a “world president” in the past while defending Spanish identity. He says globalism pursues the dissolution of nation states in order to strengthen the foundations of a new world order in which decisions are taken despite national interests, that is to say in an undemocratic manner which ignores sovereignty.
“It is up to the Spanish to choose the future of Spain, as it is up to the French to decide the future of France. We will always oppose totalitarian projects that force people to think in a certain way, that force them to destroy their roots and their culture. The Spanish did not choose us to look after the interests of neighboring countries, but to provide solutions to our own problems.”
In France, there were more than 1 000 anti-Christian acts during 2018, degradations or desecrations of churches. Abascal said the defense of Christian civilization was now a priority for Western Europe.
“Europe cannot be understood without its Christian roots. The beginning of the decline of the European Union in 2002 coincides with the exclusion and marginalization of Christianity in the failed European Constitution, which was then introduced in the Treaty of Lisbon.
“As John Paul II said, ‘Christianity […] has contributed to the formation of a common consciousness of European peoples and has made an important contribution to the development of their civilization’. Today, the Christian religion is the most persecuted in the world, that in the silence of the oligarchies.”
Spain has the euro zone’s fourth-largest economy, with a per capita income almost similar to Italy’s. Spain’s population of 40 million in 1999 became 47 million by 2010, as a result of immigration: Non-Spaniards increased eightfold, from 750 000 to 5,75 million — from 2 percent to more than 12 percent of the population.
However, the percentage of Spaniards wanting fewer immigrants is Europe’s lowest while the percentage wanting more immigrants is Europe’s highest.
The south east region of Murcia in Spain has emerged this week as the front line in the battle between two competing visions of Spain on the issue of the “parental pin”.
In Murcia, where Vox won the highest vote share, and their supporters believe parents should have a say in education policy, the issue has been simmering for a while. Introduced in September, the policy allows parents to veto left-orientated educational workshops.
It allows parents to prevent their children from partaking in complementary school workshops that incorporate “ideological or moral leaning against their convictions” even if it is part of the basic curriculum within normal school hours particularly what Vox deem to be “sexual morals”.
Vox says the policy was a necessary response to “the obvious indoctrination in gender ideology that our children suffer in educational centers”.
Vox, which is now the third-largest force inside the Spanish parliament with 52 lawmakers, was allegedly created in 2013 with around €1 million donated by the NCRI by means of transfers from from foreign sympathizers of the Iranian exiles.
Meanwhile, another lawmaker from Vox, Iván Espinosa de los Monteros, together with Santiago Abascal have been accused of receiving party salaries for eight months that drew on funds from donations by the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), sources have told Spanish daily El Pais.

NOAA Predicts Zero Sunspots for Almost the Whole 2030s
CLIMATEThe United States' government scientific organization, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), predicts zero sunspots from 2031 to 2040. This is an extreme situation that has not occurred in as long as humanity has been counting sunspots, and it leads us into uncharted territory in terms of our solar system. However, this prediction aligns with the warnings of the world-renowned solar researcher Valentina Zharkova for many years, who indicated in 2019 various signs of this catastrophic phenomenon, including the extreme hailstorms we have seen in Europe and the world this summer. The forecast and various observations this year give cause for very significant concern. In this unique analysis, Free West Media explains why.
European Nationalist Parties Forge Cooperation Ahead of EU Elections
EUROPEAN ELECTIONSOn Saturday, August 26, representatives of six European nationalist parties gathered in Budapest. The meeting was initiated by the Hungarian party Mi Hazánk and took place in the national parliament. Representatives of the parties signed a joint declaration that not only reaffirms the parties' friendship but also their unity on a range of complex political issues. A surprisingly clear and radical manifesto was established. The hope is that this cooperation will lead to success in the EU elections and eventually result in the formation of a group in the European Parliament. For Swedish nationalism, this meeting marks a success as Sweden, for the first time, has a party represented in a leading nationalist cooperation in Europe. Free West Media was present at this historic event.

Swedish Weapon Takes Down Russia’s Best Attack Helicopter
The Russian attack helicopter Ka-52 is considered one of the world's best and has struck fear in Ukraine, where it has hunted down tanks and other armored vehicles, often beyond the range of many light anti-aircraft systems. However, it has met its match in the Swedish air defense missile system RBS 70, which has quickly led to significant losses for the Russian helicopter forces.
The Sun Drives Earth’s Climate, Not Carbon Dioxide
Top Researchers Push Back Against Climate Lies."The correlation is as clear as day," explained the Israeli astrophysicist Nir Shaviv, who was hailed by the establishment, before his interview with Forbes was hastily deleted. What he says contradicts the climate narrative, which points to humans as responsible for Earth's climate. Shaviv firmly asserts that it is the sun that controls the climate, something that can be scientifically proven in many ways. Contrary to the popular belief, the sun's influence on Earth has, in recent years, caused unusually cold and rainy weather, a trend that solar researchers warn will worsen significantly in the coming decades. The sun has exhibited an unusually low activity since 2016, during Solar Cycle 24, which was the weakest in a century.
Strong Confidence in German AfD
Alternative for Germany (AfD) held a party conference on July 29-30 to select candidates for the upcoming EU election next year. EU Parliament member Maximilian Krah, belonging to the party's more radical, ethnonationalist faction, was appointed as the top candidate. The party's two spokespersons delivered powerful speeches criticizing the EU's failed migration policy and trade sanctions that isolate Europe and Germany from the rest of the world. They argued that it's time for the EU to return a significant portion of its power to national parliaments. However, they have dropped the demand for Germany to exit the EU.
The Establishment Wants to Ban Germany’s Second Largest Party – for the Sake of Democracy
The rising popularity of AfD has raised strong concerns within the establishment. Despite lies and demonization in the media and isolation from the overall political establishment, the party continues to grow. Certain representatives of the party are accused of becoming increasingly "extreme," and in an unusual move, the influential weekly newspaper Der Spiegel demanded that AfD be "banned."

One comment
Abacon is definitely a man to watch, as Vox is the party to watch. Both are gaining in popularity as Spaniards are increasingly unhappy with socialists in power in Madrid and the damage they are doing to the Spanish body politic. This should contribute to the ongoing growth of Vox and its popularity among the Spanish electorate. But Vox will nevertheless face an uphill fight, as the socialists and the socialist government have the full support of Brussels, and especially themoney and political influence of the EU’s leftist-globalist allies..
