  • Pedro Sanchez's political polarization strategy has started having unexpected consequences on his own electoral interests.
  • The party of Santiago Abascal, Vox, has managed to steal voters from the Socialist Party, evidenced by a vote transfer of 3.9% from PSOE to Vox.
  • Vox has implemented a new communicative strategy that includes appeals to the working classes on issues such as housing and purchasing power.
  • Vox's support is growing among middle-low class voters, and in cities of more than 100,000 inhabitants that are not provincial capitals.
  • Through the figure of Carlos Hernandez Quero, Vox has adopted populist slogans traditionally associated with Podemos.
  • The housing crisis, the lack of prospects for young people, and the perception of insecurity are real issues that are fueling populism.

Conclusion: Pedro Sanchez's strategy of political polarization and discrediting has begun to work against him, with voters moving towards Vox. A real solution to the current problems is needed instead of fostering further division.
