    They elected socialists. Socialist, historically, are the ones who resist and fight against fascist. It’s not really surprising.

      In Spain, like in Portugal, the name of a party and their actual ideology are two entirelly different things, maybe because in both countries the modern day parties only formed in the 70s when the Fascist dictatorships in those countries were overthrown and replaced by Democracy.

      Anyways, the PSOE is at best Social Democrat (in a good year, in a bad year it’s mild neoliberal, so center-right).

      Social Democrats. Like in Portugal, don’t let the name trick you. Just as North Korea is also not a Republic or Democratic.
