Iustitia Europa: the project luring Spain's abstainers
Iustitia Europa's voter recruitment survey: 60% from abstainers, 14% from the PP and 10.8% from Vox. A real alternative or a political operation?

Is Iustitia Europa a real alternative or a political operation?
Where does the voter come from who no longer buys Vox's «bluff» nor tolerates the «regime»? From the abstention ranks, according to the first survey to leak about Iustitia Europa. The movement chaired by Luis María Pardo, a former Civil Guard on leave, is making headway under two banners: «More Spain, less EU» and «rights and freedoms against the suffocating harassment of the administrations».
60% of its support comes from abstainers
The recruitment poll circulating paints an uncomfortable map: six out of ten supporters would come from abstention; the rest are split between the PP (14%), Vox (10.8%), PSOE (9.5%) and the Podemos camp (6.6%). It is not a classic right-wing party, but a vacuum cleaner of disenchantment with a sovereignist core.
The shadow of a replacement maneuver
Some see it as an outlet against Vox's drift and the system's paralysis. Others are wary: a core forged in lawsuits, a chairman with an unexplained relationship with Liberum, and the familiar pattern of making a name for oneself on the sacrificial ground before landing the cushy spot. The suspicion of infiltration or external control runs through the conversation, with the same old refrain.
There is no data to settle the matter. For now, the option sounds louder than it lands: even a sympathizer declares a 65% probability of staying home and only a 10% chance of voting for it. With loyalty like that, what is remarkable is that it keeps making noise.
