A busy day tomorrow, but, a final scan across the news sites suggests that Vox are falling short of their Franco-fuelled fantasies.

We'll see how that shakes out in the morning, and possibly in the months to come.

Meantime, I am looking for a bolthole for ten days' health recovery and work projects in early September while the Kreuzette beds in to her new role. Southern Spain is not ruling itself out.

I’m pleasantly surprised.

Doubtless a couple of the regionalists will do the « nah sorry, either we get some one sided devolution deal, or it’s fascism » but I’m hopeful.

I'm just back from Catalunya, and along with their ability to get a functioning beer tap fitted to any piece of permanent or temporary architecture larger than a lamppost, their long-running hatred of the fash in general deserves much respect.

Here be monsters.

Three weeks before the European parliament elections, the global far-right gathered in Madrid last Sunday in an unprecedented display of its international coordination. Hosted by Spain’s neo-Francoist Vox, the three-day event ended in a mass rally with speakers that included France’s Marine Le Pen, Portugal’s André Ventura, Argentine president Javier Milei, Israeli Likud minister Amichai Chikli — as well as via videolink Italian prime minister Giorgia Melonia and Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orbán.

What’s pro Washington neoliberal Milei doing there with a bunch of Euro Peronists?
We all hate the reds and social liberals I guess.
