One of the biggest surprises in the elections to the European Parliament is the success of the organization created a fewer months ago Se Acabó La Fiesta Alvise Pérez – writer and social media stars creating their movement for the most anti-systemic organization in the country. Many older Spaniards most likely were amazed erstwhile they saw that the party, in which the logotype appears a masked squirrel, gained as many as 800,000 votes, or 4.5% of support. At least what amazed them was not the logotype, but the fact that it appeared only in the online media.
Spanish Euro-elections – short summary
The biggest winner of the Euro-Elections in Spain is definitely the centre-right Partido Popular (Popular Party), which gained 14 percent points from erstwhile elections to the European Parliament, which translated into 9 fresh Euro-Presidents (now 22). They are people, and not VOX are now the most credible option for the Spaniards to remove from the authority of Prime Minister Sanchez of PSOE. Hispanics besides see a chance in peoples to stabilise, having adequate fragmentation of political, repeated elections and coalitions of compromises harmful to Spain. In the face of Sanchez's cooperation with the Catalan separatists, and even supporting amnesty for guilty attempts to break off Catalonia, sentenced to respective years in prison, The People's organization appears to be a reasonable option. The Socialists, despite problems, received unchangeable 30% of support and took second place in the election. specified advanced support is due to the weakening of Catalan regionalists and to the fragmentation of the utmost left.
As I mentioned, the far left has achieved disappointing results. It divided even before the elections in 2023, but then moving together. This time, both Sumar and Podemos competed separately and achieved mediocre results 4.6% and 3.3%, which, in the absence of an electoral threshold for Spanish Euro-elections, gave 3 Sumar and 2 Podemos mandates.
The national-conservative VOX declared success – they increased their support for the erstwhile EP elections by about 3.5 percent points and gained 2 more mandates. However, this is not a large victory, given that they received more than 12% in the parliamentary elections a year ago. At the time, this consequence was not accepted as satisfactory, it was counted for more, especially since in 2019 they received 15% of their support in the elections to the national parliament. It is said that any VOX voters have moved their support over the past weeks before the movement election Se Acabó La Fiesta (End of the party!) Alvise Pérez.
Anticovid influencer, libertarian, alt-right populist?
The last 1 is his eye. Through frequent blocks, he tries to convince as many of his sympathizers as possible to follow his activities mainly on Telegram, as it is simply a communicator providing a very broad framework of free speech. Pérez frequently moved with a QR code on a T-shirt that sent back to his channel on that communicator.
During the activities related to the Covid-19 pandemic, he organized online demonstrations involving live broadcasts and the dissemination of circumstantial hashtags. Initiatives gathered many Spaniards skeptical of government policy towards the pandemic. Pérez besides criticizes feminism, globalisation and LGBT movements, although he powerfully stresses that he feels more liberal than conservative. He frequently talks about the request for deregulation, taxation simplification and the disadvantages of state social policy. He quotes: “As much freedom as possible. As many countries as necessary." It besides sees EU bureaucracy and the consequences of EU climate policy as a threat.
Currently, the subjects that seem to be the most crucial to him are mass immigration and the crimes of Moroccan migrants in Spain.
This makes him frequently compared with El Salvador's president, Nayib Bukele, who besides became celebrated for his fight against gangs, and made El Salvador from 1 of the most dangerous states of the fresh planet to become 1 of the safer. The kind and worldview of Pérez, however, puts it closer to Javier Milei, president of Argentina. Nayibem Bukele is alternatively a man of means in matters of worldview, and Pérez is clearly placed on the right
In addition to libertarianism and opposition to immigration, the most visible feature of his political communicative is anti-elitarianism, more frequently called anti-systemism. He condemns all parties and would like to put corrupt politicians in prison. In this regard, Prime Minister Sanchez is frequently targeted, whose wife is inactive surrounded by dark clouds of corruption. Alvise Pérez besides refused to accept the Euro MP's wage of more than EUR 10 000 per month. He said you can't be economically dependent on a strategy that wants to destroy. He besides declared that he wanted to give his wage to voters through draws.
Leader Se Acabo La Fiesta speaks of the defiance of politics, a more direct form of democracy and criticises all political parties, including VOX and the People's Party. It is interesting that VOX is criticized by him for his submission to Israel and his close cooperation with Mossad.
For the People's Party, this is 3%, which translates into a akin number of voters from both parties in absolute numbers. The fresh movement has already met with criticism from PP and VOX sympathizers who accuse him of being tasked by the left and harming the right. According to analyst data, over 60,000 PSOE voters besides supported the fresh decision to show their opposition to Sanchez's policy towards separatists.
A man from nowhere?
Where did the man who became 1 of the most popular politicians in Spain at the age of 34 come from, and immediately after his movement he gained 800,000 votes of support, which translated into 3 Euro MPs, including a mandate for himself?
When he graduated from school, he began studying political science, but stopped studying and left for Britain, where he became active with liberal democrats as early as 22. On his return to Spain, he worked for the liberal, anti-Separatist organization Ciudadanos, but was discouraged by his average attitude. He was besides helped by the gradual collapse of the party, which present does not mean much in Spanish politics.
He gained publicity among right-wing netizens during the Covid-19 pandemic. In this regard, he clashed with VOX, who did not take specified a extremist direction in the issue of vaccination, for example. Alvise Pérez was besides punished by the court for entries against the mayor of Madrid, who he accused of having private respirators in his home. Court cases for accusations against politicians have been following influencer for years. He stated that immunity was 1 of the factors that convinced him to run for election. He announced his start in February that year, and already a fewer months later he enjoyed the sensational consequence of 4.6% in the Euro-elections and mandate of the Euro- MP.
The log of his organization is masked, in a distinctive way to the Anonymous group, a squirrel, and his voters are mostly netizens. conventional media do not want to invitation controversial politics and, as it itself announces, this is the first situation in 45 years that politicians backed by 800,000 votes after the election are not invited to any large media".
What's next?
It is hard to indicate at this minute which direction the latest political task on the map of right-wing populism is headed. He surely achieved immense success at the start and caused concern among the structures of the People's organization and, above all, the VOX, who fear the further outflow of the electorate.
Pérez has very many organised audiences and respective 100 donors on the Spanish counterpart of the Patronite service, who see him as hoping for profound systemic changes.
The problem of specified anti-system batches lies very frequently in the fact that, at the end of the day, they usually start becoming part of the strategy in which they participate, and its voters depart into a new, more reliable bleacher. This was the case in the case of the Italian 5 Star Movement or the Polish Kukiz’15 movement. Se Acabó La Fiesta is now being carried out with election success. The life of the formation will most likely be assessed in a fewer months, erstwhile the electoral emotions are gone and a affirmative communicative needs to be created.
