Overview
- Aragón president Jorge Azcón suspended dealings with Vox until the party removed regional adviser Marcos Francoy over social‑media posts with fascist and racist content.
- Vox’s parliamentary group in Aragón later confirmed it had dismissed Francoy, averting a full rupture during tense budget talks for 2026.
- Francoy’s posts amplified Nazi and Falangist imagery and promoted “remigration,” including calls to expel people not deemed “Spanish by blood,” according to press-cited screenshots.
- The dispute followed José María Aznar’s remarks that immigration has been captured by the populist far right, which prompted Vox spokesman José Antonio Fúster to accuse Aznar of sponsoring an “invasion” and to mockingly urge him to “flagellate” himself.
- As the PP unveils a stricter migration platform with tougher expulsions, benefit limits and nationality rules, Vox accuses the party of copying its agenda and says it will file amendments across regional parliaments, while leader Santiago Abascal announced a complaint to the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor targeting the PSOE’s finances.
