The Spin

Left narrative

Santiago Abascal and his far-right Vox party are calling for political violence against the democratically elected prime minister of Spain, and this dangerous language has no place in Spanish society. While comparing Pedro Sánchez to fascist dictator Benito Mussolini, Abascal shows that he's the real fascist who wants to rile up the masses to depose a democratically elected government.

Right narrative

The Socialists love to cry victims while finding an excuse to exercise fascist attacks on political opponents while pretending to be persecuted. Santiago Abascal wasn't calling for any form of violence against Sánchez. He was reminding the Spanish people that their current prime minister is very similar to the fascist dictators of the 1940s.
