Santiago Abascal

Santiago Abascal is a Spanish politician who has been the leader of the Vox party since 2018. He has gained significant attention in recent news articles due to his involvement with the Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado, his party's financial struggles following the Hungarian election defeat, and his role as a key figure in the European far-right movement. Abascal's leadership of Vox has been marked by controversy and internal power struggles, particularly after the party's loss in the Hungarian elections. His current relevance lies in his ability to shape the direction of the European far-right and his potential impact on Spanish politics.
