Spain’s snap vote: Catalans fear right-wing takeover
Final opinion polls project that the right-wing PP party will win a majority in a coalition with the far-right Vox.
Madrid, Spain – Should polls prove correct and far-right Vox party form part of a future Spanish government after next Sunday’s snap general elections, it is not just pro-independence political parties that risk being banned: even Catalan language magazines in public libraries are in danger of disappearing.
“Mission accomplished,” Jesus Albiol, the newly-appointed councillor for culture for Vox in the town of Burriana, proudly announced on Twitter last week after cancelling the subscriptions for the magazines, two of them children’s comics, for the local library.

To the 3 spainiards reading this: it's a decoy. They fearmonger about civil rights because it makes the press talk a lot, meanwhile they slowly demolish the social state. It's a common pattern for right-wing/far-right european politicians lately.
If the polls prove true at the elections, I would keep an eye on your healthcare, education and transportation systems.
