Daily Caller co-founder Tucker Carlson expressed surprise over George Soros’ influence in Spanish politics during a discussion with Vox leader Santiago Abascal.

Tucker Carlson recently delved into Spanish politics in a discussion with Santiago Abascal, the leader of Spain’s Vox party. This conversation occurred amidst ongoing protests in Spain against Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s proposal to grant amnesty to Catalan separatists in exchange for political support.

Carlson, who was seen marching with the protesters, raised questions about the involvement of George Soros, a notable figure in global politics, in Spanish affairs. Abascal highlighted Soros’ influence, revealing that Soros was reportedly the first person to meet with Sánchez upon his election. This claim, though denied by the government, has not been clearly addressed by President Sánchez in Parliament.

The conversation between Carlson and Abascal also touched on the theme of mass immigration. Despite the portrayal by media and political figures, Abascal stated that a majority of Spaniards, irrespective of their political leanings, oppose mass immigration and favor immediate deportations. He lamented the labeling of those supporting legal and orderly immigration as xenophobes.

Moreover, the discussion highlighted the protests’ broader context. Protesters accuse Sánchez of disregarding the rule of law for political advantage, as reported by Reuters. Sánchez’s intent to form his own cabinet, which requires the support of the Catalan separatist party involved in the 2017 secession attempt, has sparked significant controversy. Carles Puigdemont, Catalan’s leader, fled to Belgium to evade trial, while others convicted would potentially receive amnesty under Sánchez’s plan.

This situation illustrates a complex political landscape in Spain, where the intersection of local politics, global influences, and public sentiment is creating a challenging environment for the country’s leadership and its citizens.
