Resumo

If there is one issue that has been associated with the rise of the extreme right in Western Europe, it has been the issue of immigration. While most authors have observed the presence of attitudes towards immigration among the voters of these political parties different from those of other voters, some authors have called these political formations as “anti-immigrant parties” or “racism parties” (Boomgaarden and Vliegenthart, 2007; Fennema, 1996, 1997; Van der Brug and Fennema, 2003, 2005; Van Spanje, 2017). Immigration has been the backbone of the political discourse of the extreme right, in which other problems such as the coverage of social benefits and the viability of the welfare state, the economy and unemployment, and crime and security are intertwined. In this paper, after exposing a deep bibliographic review on the relationship between the extreme right and immigration, we show the perceptions about this issue of VOX voters in the last General Elections of November 2019, elections in which the extreme right consolidates in Spain by becoming the third political force. In our exploratory analysis, it is observed that VOX voters show more hostile attitudes towards immigrants and immigration issues than voters from other political groups.
