The Popular Party (PP) in Spain has taken a significant turn towards a more populist strategy by hiring Vito Quiles, a move seen as part of a broader trend following the general elections of 2023 and propelled by upcoming regional elections. This shift marks a departure from the party's previous image of moderation, as the leadership recognizes the need to adapt to the changing political landscape where they face competition from other parties, especially Vox. Rather than maintaining a distinct political identity, the PP appears to be adopting tactics from its political adversaries, mirroring their anti-immigration agenda and engaging in what critics are dubbing a 'troll' approach to politics.
