Falange runs in Andalusia with a programme that splits the far right
Deporting only irregular migrants? For many Burbuja.info forum users, that is not real remigration. Falange Española de las JONS's programme for the Andalusian elections has sparked an 81-reply debate in the Politics forum, where users question both the party's viability and its authenticity.
A programme that promises what it cannot deliver
The document, shared by user Vividor Alicantino, includes three flagship points: closing the Andalusian Parliament, abolishing the autonomous regions, and a "mass remigration plan (deportation of irregular migrants)". However, as Lord Vader points out, the central proposal of returning powers to the central government contradicts the ability to implement the measures without those powers. Furymundo replies that this would be "for when they magically take control of the central state". The irony does not go unnoticed: if the autonomous regions are shut down, who carries out migration policy?
The shadow of the past: an anti-racist Falange?
Several forum users dig up the party's history to point out contradictions. JoséBatallas posts historical FE-JONS posters with the slogan "Always with the people" and photographs of ethnically diverse members, while Sr. del Cojin fires back with a 2007 anti-racist poster that, in his view, clashes with the party's current discourse. The discussion slides towards authenticity: zapatitos asks which of the "1,342" versions of Falange is the real one, and TROC_INTACTO_TRASPINEDO settles it: "Practically nobody is going to vote for them".
A useful vote or a symbolic one?
Although Baubens2 says that "if I were Andalusian I would vote for them", most consider the programme irrelevant or even counterproductive for the right. Preñeitor points out that it does not mention the tax authority, proving that "all parties are the same rubbish". Others, such as vinavil, criticise the fact that remigration is limited to irregular migrants: "That is not what remigration means". The idea that Falange is only trying to steal votes from Vox hangs in the air, fuelled by the old poster and accusations of CNI (Spain's intelligence service) infiltration.
Opinions are polarised between those who see an attempt to shift the Overton window (Funderelele) and those who dismiss it as "pantomime" (Lopedeberga). The question left hanging: is Falange a party for nostalgics or an attempt to carve out its own identity in a saturated far-right ecosystem?
