A Spanish far-right party has made stunning gains in regional elections after campaigning against migration. The success of the Vox party in Sunday's regional election is the latest nationalist breakthrough in Europe. The Vox party took 12 parliamentary seats in the election in Andalusia on Sunday, far surpassing the five seats pundits had predicted them to win. The development is particularly concerning because many had hoped that Spain would be somewhat immune to the nationalist tide, given the country's collective memory of living under the fascist Franco dictatorship.
