The most likely government to emerge - most analysts predict - will be a coalition including a hard-right nationalist party for the first time in Spain since the death of fascist dictator Francisco Franco in 1975.
More left-leaning Spaniards are frantically texting contacts, urging them to make sure to vote - despite the heat and it being holiday time for many - to “stop the fascists” in their tracks.The rhetoric this election season has been toxic, with voters becoming increasingly polarised.
It’s a fight over values, traditions and about what being Spanish should mean in 2023.
This kind of heated identity debate isn’t peculiar to Spain. Think of Italy, France, Brazil or the post-Trumpian debate in the US.
At EU HQ in Brussels, there are huge concerns about a resurgence of hard-right nationalist parties across Europe.
This crap is hitting the whole world and it sucks. A bunch of old farts holding back progress because they think we should be acting like people who’ve been 6” under for decades. So dumb, regardless of country or culture.
People normally think fascism seizes power undemocratically. And it does. But first there are years of voters saying they want tyrants who will only hurt the bad people, never thinking that it could happen to them.

Real talk, Nazi had the drip. Too bad they were/are such intolerable cunts.
