Un estudio de la UVigo analiza cómo Vox manipula el lenguaje progresista

A research study from the University of Vigo reveals how Spain's far-right Vox party uses progressive language to defend traditional gender roles. University of Vigo Study analyzed parliamentary speeches, website content, and social media posts to expose what researchers call an "apparently inclusive" worldview that actually naturalizes conservative views of society and frames feminism as a threat to freedom.
The study found that Vox uses language typically associated with left-wing causes—like "freedom," "rights," and "equality"—but twists their meaning to support traditional family structures and women's roles. La Opinión de Málaga reported that researchers examined thousands of statements across multiple platforms to document this pattern. The party's messaging creates a false sense of inclusion while promoting a strictly conservative gender ideology.
According to El Periódico de Aragón, Vox positions feminism as the opposite of personal liberty and choice. The party argues that defending traditional roles is actually defending women's "freedom" to choose motherhood and family life. This rhetorical sleight of hand allows the party to oppose feminist policies while claiming to champion women's autonomy. The contradiction remains invisible to audiences who don't examine the language closely.
The research team examined Vox's official website, social media accounts, and parliamentary interventions over an extended period. El Día noted that the analysis reveals a systematic pattern rather than isolated statements. Researchers documented how the same linguistic tricks appear across different communication channels. The study suggests this isn't accidental language use but a deliberate communication strategy designed to make conservative positions seem modern and inclusive.
According to Información, this research helps voters recognize sophisticated manipulation tactics. When political parties repurpose progressive language to support the opposite values, citizens need tools to spot the difference. The University of Vigo study provides exactly that—a detailed breakdown of how modern political communication can obscure true ideology behind reassuring words.
