Far-Right Vox Party Surges in Ceuta, Winning 35% of Vote in Spanish Election

A first in the history of the party. Indeed, the voters of Ceuta, the Spanish enclave north of Morocco, massively voted for Vox, a political party founded in 2013. In total, the political formation collected nearly 12,000 votes in Ceuta, which represents 35% of the votes.

Vox thus improved its score compared to the last legislative elections. This far-right party had in the meantime proposed to the government to close "fundamentalist" mosques.

Similarly, Vox has proposed that Spain deport all illegal immigrants and all legal immigrants who have committed a crime. The leader of Vox, Santiago Abascal, for his part, called on Spain to erect a wall around Ceuta and Melilla in order to fight against illegal immigration. In this sense, he hinted that Morocco should finance it.

With Melila and Ceuta, Spain has become the main gateway for migrants to Europe.
