Spanish ruling party rebels launch new conservative party
Spanish ruling party rebels launch new conservative party
Rebels from Spain's ruling conservative People's Party launched a new political party on Thursday, hoping to tap into public discontent over sky-high unemployment, graft scandals and surging separatism in Catalonia.
Leaders of the new party, named Vox (voice in Latin), accuse Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy of being too soft on Catalan and Basque separatism and of breaking election promises by, for example, raising taxes.

Re: Spanish ruling party rebels launch new conservative party
I've often thought there needs to be a new "progressive" party, both in Spain and in the UK, that promotes small businesses yet isn't corrupt and sponsored by big business and the bankers. Yes, I admit I'm probably naiive in hoping for this...
