[摘要] :
Since the entry of the far-right party VOX into the Spanish government ad-ministrations in 2018, Spain’s political scene has gone through a deep trans-formation. Th e disparity in opinions among the diff erent parties concerning migration seems to tear the country’s democratic foundation apart. Th is pa-per is a study of the language and discursive strategies used by VOX’s leader, Santiago Abascal, articulating the party’s populist propaganda for a united country to “make Spain great again.” Th e analysis was grounded on the theo-retical underpinnings of Wodak’s (2001) discursive strategies and Van Dijk’s (1993) “Us” vs. “Th em” framework. Th e data were based on Abascal’s clos-ing political campaign speech during the Madridlenian elections, which was televised in May 2021. Th e 30-minute video recording was transcribed, annotated, coded, and analyzed. The findings suggest a pattern of discursive practices aimed at diminishing other political parties and their representa-tives, vilify immigrants, and impugn government measures that were against VOX’s authoritarian conservatism and nationalism. Th ere was a predominant use of predication strategies to positively present VOX while denigrating its political rivals. Referential/nomination strategies were also used to divide the society between in-groups and out-groups. Strongly embedded in these strategies were perlocutionary acts used to incite hate toward the out-groups and evoke fear and anxiety toward the in-group, strategically employed as tools to gain votes in the elections.
