23 J Vota Contra Los Pactos Del Odio

This banner – the work of illustrator Cristina Daura and designer Jabier Rodríguez – has been placed by the Avaaz Foundation and comes a few hours after the only face-to-face debate between Alberto Núñez Feijóo (PP) and incumbent Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez (PSOE), in the 2023 Spanish general election on July, 23 (J 23).

Avaaz, an international organization whose name means voice in Sanskrit, calls for the mobilization of the progressive vote to avoid “a great hate pact at the national level on July 23”. They do so by inviting us to reflect “on how a victory for the PP, supported by Vox votes, would open a huge hole in our democracy, facilitating a fierce wave of attacks against the rights of women and the LGBTIQ+ community”. The illustration reveals the face of Santiago Abascal Conde, leader of the right-wing political party Vox, underneath the face of Feijóo.
