Brutal takedown of Abascal: people aren't buying it anymore
Abascal's visit to Tel Aviv sparks internal criticism over his alliance with the US, a woke country, while critics ask why he doesn't ally with China instead, a more ideologically aligned state.

Abascal in Tel Aviv: the photo that exposes Vox's contradiction
An image of Santiago Abascal in Tel Aviv, alongside Israeli politicians, has unleashed a storm of criticism from his own voters. The paradox is no small one: the very party that positions itself as an anti-proge stronghold travels to pay homage to the country that, along with the US, is the world's leading exporter of proge culture. The takedown isn't coming from the left, but from within the ranks of patriotic skepticism itself.
The mirage of the common enemy
For many analysts, Vox's foreign policy trinc a realpolitik logic: the enemy is the globalist left, China and Iran. The US and Israel are natural allies in that culture war. The problem is that those allies are precisely the ones funding and promoting wokism through their corporations and soft diplomacy. Companies like Meta, which censor dissenting content, or the Biden-Trump administration itself, which has no qualms about imposing its values. The contradiction is so glaring that even the most loyal voters are starting to point it out.
Why not China? The awkward question
The logical alternative then arises: China. A sovereign state, with no cultural interference, that promotes traditional values and doesn't export pogre propaganda. For a right that claims to defend national sovereignty, it would be the ideal partner. However, visceral anti-communism and dependence on the Western bloc carry more weight. The argument that "China is communist" clashes with the reality that the Chinese Communist Party is anything but the Western proge project. But ideology, sometimes, is stronger than logic.
Immigration: the real problem nobody names
Beyond the diplomatic affair, the debate reveals a deeper rift: legal immigration. The system accepts millions of legal arrivals that change the demographics, and Vox, while criticizing illegal immigration, doesn't question the model as a whole. As some analyses point out, Abascal's party is part of the machinery: it channels discontent without altering the mass immigration policies that benefit the state and capital. An "official dissident" who, deep down, poses no real threat to the system.
The question hanging in the air is whether Vox voters will keep swallowing these contradictions or whether, as it seems, "people aren't buying it anymore" is becoming a slogan that turns against the party itself. Meanwhile, the Tel Aviv photo will keep circulating as the image of a patriotism that bends depending on the ally.
