The anti-proge crusader turns on Abascal and his alliances with Trump and Pilingui
Federico Jiménez Losantos, the broadcaster who built his career denouncing "proge" thinking, is now attacking Santiago Abascal's international alliances. The same host who once sympathized with Trumpism now points to Donald Trump, Vladimir Pilingui and Viktor Orbán as toxic travel companions for Vox. A U-turn that exposes the contradictions of the populist right.
The criticism comes as several names from Hispanic Trumpism —Marc Vidal, Cuarto Milenio, Vizner— have vanished from the media frontline. Their fall is read as the price of aligning with a movement in retreat. But the alibi is not airtight: while Trump and Pilingui are condemned, nothing is said about Israel. The suspicion of a double standard runs through the analysis: Israel also promotes Isabel Díaz Ayuso, and Segarro plays its own game. "Everyone a patriot, but quietly," sums up a skeptical current.
Is Spain's right witnessing a reshuffle of its international loyalties? Or is it simply a battle for media hegemony between factions of the same bloc? The next moves will tell.
