Analysis of Spanish Far-Right Rhetoric in Aleix Saló's Comic

Eduardo Matos-Martín's academic article analyzes the comic 'Todos nazis' by Aleix Saló, published in 2020. The work examines the discursive strategies of the Spanish far-right, focusing on the political party Vox and the historical legacy of Francoism. It uses comics journalism and political satire as a lens to critique the resurgence of ultra-nationalist and xenophobic ideologies in contemporary Spain.
