PSOE and PP trade insults in Spain’s online election campaign
Spain’s PSOE and PP are stepping up their attacks on each other online ahead of an election scheduled for November 29.
Their social media accounts have shared insults and personal criticism, turning political exchanges into a constant back-and-forth.
The PSOE has used the nickname “PerroSanxe” for Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, while presenting his government’s policies as a reason for the hostility he faces.
The article also says PP and Vox have promoted false claims of fraud in postal voting.
Meanwhile, parties are competing over what Spanish identity means: Sánchez has spoken of rights and different ways of life, while Vox has highlighted patriotism and declared that Ceuta is Spain.
Vox made that statement in a video featuring its leader alongside French far-right leader Jordan Bardella.
The campaign’s online exchanges are expected to continue as the election approaches.
