|seats2_title=Mayors in Spain |seats2= |colorcode = |website = }} Vox (often stylized as VOX) is a political party in Spain founded on 13 December 2013 by former members of the People's Party (PP). ==History== Officially founded on 17 December 2013,〔("VOX es un partido político con personalidad jurídica propia e inscrito en el Registro de partidos políticos del Ministerio del Interior el día 17 Diciembre de 2013" ) - ''VOX''〕 VOX was publicly launched at a press conference in Madrid on 16 January 2014.〔http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/01/16/us-spain-politics-idUSBREA0F1HM20140116〕 The reasons for this schism seem to be the way the incumbent People's Party (PP) government dealt with the issue of the violence of separatist group ETA, the fiscal policy of the PP and the desire for a more centralized government in contrast to the current, quasi-federal political system ("State of Autonomies") instituted in 1978. VOX opposes Basque and Catalan separatism in general.〔 VOX have labelled themselves as a right-wing and Christian democratic party. The first provisional chairman was the philosopher José Luis González Quirós (provisional until the party's internal election in late 2014). Other members are Santiago Abascal, Iván Espinosa de los Monteros and José Antonio Ortega Lara (well known for having been kidnapped by ETA for more than a year). VOX ran for the first time in the 2014 European elections but narrowly failed to win a seat in the European Parliament,〔(Tristeza y decepción en Vox tras los resultados de las Elecciones Europeas ) in libertaddigital.com 〕 in part due to the head of the electoral list, a former PP MEP who has since left the party. In September 2014 a democratic internal election brought Santiago Abascal, one of the founders, as new president, and Iván Espinosa de los Monteros, also a founder, as secretary general. A total of 11 other members of the Comité Ejecutivo Nacional where elected, most without previous political activities as they have a background of business people and scholars. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Vox (Spanish political party)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
