Vox Leader Abascal Shifts Image as Polls Project Doubled Seats

Vox leader Santiago Abascal wears a suit, shirt, and tie on his campaign posters for the November 29 general election, Ara.cat reported.

This appearance marks a distinct shift from the 2023 campaign, when Abascal wore a casual jacket with a defiant pose. Private polls project the right-wing party could more than double its seats from 33 to over 60.

“It’s common sense,” reads the slogan accompanying the new poster. The phrase pairs a moderate visual tone with hardline policy positions on national priority, deregulation, and remigration.

Those goals already shape government coalitions formed this year with the Partido Popular in four autonomous regions. Abascal spent Thursday maintaining a packed travel schedule with stops in Logroño and Huesca.

An intended appearance on YouTuber Jordi Wild’s program was canceled, sparking controversy at the start of the campaign. Some right-wing influencers urged voters to boycott Vox over the decision.

The Partido Popular has seized on the backlash across social media to challenge Vox’s momentum. Despite the setback, Abascal’s campaign plans an official kickoff Friday evening at Plaza Colón in Madrid.

That venue echoes the large rallies the party held throughout the legislative term against the amnesty law and Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez. Vox is also targeting gains in Catalonia by riding the momentum of Aliança Catalana.

Abascal scheduled campaign stops in Girona, Tarragona, and Cornellà de Llobregat.
