Spanish Politicians' Silence on Trump: Aroca Highlights Far-Right Influence

Spain and the US: A Shared Far-Right Trend? Spanish political commentator Javier Aroca recently weighed in on the current state of politics, both domestically and internationally. On Cadena SER's "Hoy por Hoy," Aroca discussed the reactions of prominent Spanish figures to the Trump era and the recent political events in the United States. He noted a perceived hypocrisy among certain Spanish politicians who had previously celebrated Trump's rise to power. "Los palmeros europeos y especialmente los españoles que tanto celebraron la llegada de Trump... seguramente hoy no den mucho la cara después del espectáculo tan lamentable," Aroca stated, highlighting the silence of figures like Esperanza Aguirre, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, and Santiago Abascal. Aroca's analysis connects these observations to broader concerns about the growing influence of far-right ideologies in both Spain and the United States. His commentary underscores the need for critical examination of political alliances and their potential consequences.
