seen as a country resistant to nationalism with no real swing to extremes since the fall of francisco franco's military dictatorship in the one nine hundred seventy s. . neither the far right vox party like sent to enter parliament for the first time they have been boosted by some voters discontent with the traditional parties but not all. gushy that i don't want a far right i think i voted for the lesser of two evils i'm not really convinced. that there are those that could be the first time that the far right enters the government it seems they'll get in so it will depend on which alliances are struck give us give us so this could be quite a serious change for spain. and if by there the traditional parties will most likely rely on the smaller parties to form a government with at least five in the running talks on any potential coalition could last for weeks if not months with fresh elections one of many possible outcomes. all right following the story for us in madrid is probably fairly early yes probably good to see you voter turnout turnout seems to have skyrocket rocketed across the count

now, for the first time since the death of spain's 20th military dictator, francisco franco, a far—righteats — a sizeable chunk of them, it seems — in the spanish parliament. vox promises to make spain great again — that phrase sound familiar? it beats the nationalist drum, promising to preserve spanish culture, including more controversial traditions like bull—fighting. we need to be proud about our country, in a way that we haven't been for a long, long time, defending the unity of spain, the history of spain, your values, your systems, your flag. and the link with franco that's being made? what link with franco? franco's been dead for 45 years, we weren't even born when franco died, there's no link with franco. like populist nationalists in france and italy, vox is tough on immigration, on islam and on crime, but... vox is extremely spain—centric — it is pro—bull—fighting, pro—eu, anti—catalan independence. but in this country, split left and right since the spanish civil war, vox, unlike other populist movements across europe, has failed to attract disaffected workers who traditional

you were mentioning francisco franco, a lot of commentators saying this is the most divisive electionccording to the polls, is that no individual party will win an outright majority, that will mean coalitions will have to be formed. now, in the past, spain used to be governed, really, by two parties, basically the psoe, the socialist party, or the centre right wing party. now, that has fragmented, so now potentially there are some five parties who have assured at being in power, and you mentioned that hard right party, vox, a lot of attention has been focused on them. they are predicted, according to some of the latest polls, to maybe get 15—i6% of the deputies in the congress behind me now, i have some 350, so they could get 35—40, and could they potentially be the kingmakers for a right—wing coalition? what is also interesting, shaun, they are anti—immigration, the united nations says many villages in northern mozambique have been entirely wiped out by cyclone kenneth, which hit on thursday. with heavy rainfall predicted for the next few days, there are also fears that many communit

far-right party to gain seats in spanish elections since 1975, since the death of the dictator francisco franco is a big gain for them. they did not do as well as many thought, but significant since 2006. today they have in almost 10% of the seats. so it's quite a significant gain for them. a very fractured political system because of vox. >> how likely is this forming a government coalition going to take because it's never been done before and you talk about this very deep political divide. >> yeah. well, it could take anything up to weeks. of course if it takes longer than two months, rosemary, we're looking at perhaps a fourth general election, the fourth, in fact, in four years. no doubt pedro sanchez something he doesn't want. podemos have said throughout that they're willing to join an alliance with the socialists, but that leaves i think a sanchez roughly 11 seats short, so perhaps they're looking at the bask party, the smaller regional party to see if they can prop up his government, but what we have seen in spain in fact with vox for various reasons, in fact, is a rise of the far-right

republican government backed by joseph stalin and the soviet union against the nationalists led by francisco franco backed by germany and italy. the war ended in april, 1939 and eight triumph of the axis powers. the spanish civil war overlap with the japanese on slight in china that began in july 1937 and continued with japanese dominance over the most economically advanced and populous regions of china and immense losses of chinese territory were accompanied by millions and millions of deaths and about 80% of them noncombatant. meanwhile, hitler annexed austria in march 1938 and the british and french had czechoslovakia into the hands of the german dictator six months later in munich. then in a series of incredibly shocking jolts that rocked the entire globe, joseph stalin signed on with hitler in 1939. hitler's armies overran poland inset timber in october 1939. the soviet union, the new german ally would take finland in 1939 until triumph in 1940. in a searing nightmare, hitler significantly outnumbered forces and subdued denmark, norway, holland, belgium, france and sending campaigns between ap

spain's parliament for the first time since this the death of this man — fascist military dictator francisco francovote against vox. here are some voters. translation: the centre-right have made it their motto to not support the socialist, so if i support them 110w the socialist, so if i support them now i think they would lose a lot of credibility to stop what is important is to abide nationalism like in catalonia and that there is fio like in catalonia and that there is no extreme right in this country. like in catalonia and that there is no extreme right in this countrylj thought vox would get my vote and people are fed up here and want to see an alternative. so spain now enters another round of voting — the european parliamentary elections are next month. this opinion piece by bloomberg's leonid bershidsky is worth reading, saying "in a fragmented political environment, the old left—right divisions still matter." and that's why all eyes will be on the european parliament elections, because while the return of spain's socialist party will have eased some political concerns — the continued rise o

will now briefly with my colleague scott rocks right now this exhibition was in san francisco before coming to franco was a controversial that was controversial but not nearly as much as it was here in frankfurt and the debate there seemed to be more about young muslim women and how they see themselves and see their fashion and that a lot of young muslim with women see this type of modest fashion as liberating as a way of expressing a different identity then maybe the sort of male gaze of the of the modern western fashion industry which they see as being sort of sexist and exploitive and so there's some of these young muslim women who call themselves the job which is a combination of he job and fashionista and and they present themselves completely differently they present themselves as really as as hip as as as modern as liberated so they're not they show themselves not as being oppressed women forced to cover up but rather women who chose a different identity than the one offered them by western capitalist society. i mean so it's very different then to. the discussion going on here in frankfurt or

for the first time since the death of francisco franco, the heart rate in spain will have a presence in the centre of madrid, spain's socialists celebrate their victory. their leader, the pro—european prime minister, pedro sanchez, saw off a conservative opposition which included a rising movement from the far right. translation: we made it happen. the socialist party has won the election, and in doing so, the future has won and the past has lost. pedro sanchez argued during the campaign that he was the only spanish leader capable of stopping the advance of the hard right. and the numbers show that he has done so. he must now form a lasting coalition of his own. the far right party, vox, the first significant movement of its kind since the end of general franco's fascist regime, four decades ago, ended up on the losing side. but they did win enough votes to enter parliament in opposition. by contrast, the winners, pedro sanchez and the socialist party, will continue to lead this country, probably in partnership with a number of smaller left—wing and regional parties. the exact shape
