In the latest episode of our audio series, journalists from the English Edition discuss the emergence of the political group, and also examine a controversial bus that’s touring the country

This week on our podcast, we examined the rise of the far-right party Vox, and what it means for Spain. The group made headlines late last year when it secured surprise success at the Andalusian regional elections, a scenario that could be repeated later this year when Spaniards go to the polls at the April 28 general election.

And we also discussed a related topic: the bus that has been touring Spain in a campaign against what its slogans describe as “feminazis,” a stunt that has been funded by ultra-Catholic group Hazte Oír.

¿Qué? is a podcast that tries to explain to an English-speaking audience the curious, the under-reported and sometimes simply bizarre news stories that are often in the headlines in Spain.
