Abascal chants “long live Catalonia” in a bid to triple seats

Santiago Abascal, leader of Vox, aims to significantly increase the party's representation in Catalonia during the upcoming elections. He emphasizes the need to unite against radical Islamism, which he claims threatens Catalan identity. Abascal's campaign includes a call for support from former PSOE and PP voters, as well as those from Junts, to remove current Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez from power. He criticizes the general strike and vows to ban pickets if elected, framing his message around defending both Catalan and Spanish identities. Vox seeks to triple its seats in Catalonia, focusing on Tarragona and Girona.
