VOX: The Rise of the Spanish Populist Radical Right

VOX: The Rise of the Spanish Populist Radical Right

We sit down with the authors of the definitive new book on VOX, José Rama, Lisa Zanotti, Stuart J. Turnbull-Dugarte, and Andrés Santana, to examine a new, populist radical right party that has emerged in Spain, a country thought to have been immunised against the far right by the experiences and memories of the Franco dictatorship. Join us on Facebook Live and YouTube Live for the discussion; members will receive an invitation to join via Zoom.
