Cultural engineering

The article discusses the political strategy employed by Spain's right-wing parties, particularly focusing on their use of 'cultural engineering' rhetoric to frame immigration as a threat to national identity, security, and social cohesion. It critiques statements made by Feijóo, who claimed that Spain would soon host 7–8 million foreigners, using manipulated data to support this claim. The article points out that many of these individuals were already counted in previous figures and that the regularization process has not reached the numbers Feijóo suggested. Additionally, it references former President Aznar and PP Euro-MP Ezcurra, who advocate for a 'national reconstruction' to counter perceived decline under current leadership. The piece argues that these narratives rely on fear-mongering around immigrants, portraying them as threats to safety, traditions, and demographic balance. It further highlights that while right-wing groups emphasize immigration as a problem, they overlook data showing significant emigration from Spain during the same period.

Bias read (Progressive): The article explicitly criticizes right-wing and ultra-right political strategies, frames their arguments as fear-based manipulation, and challenges their use of selective or misleading data. It presents the narrative from a perspective that opposes the 'cultural engineering' rhetoric used by right翼
