The article examines the current political landscape in Spain with a focus on the rise of Vox and its potential limitations. It highlights how Vox, despite its previous growth and capabilities to attract over 15% of the votes, might be facing a ceiling in its political ambitions. This ceiling raises questions about whether Vox can genuinely challenge the longstanding dominance of the traditional parties, the People's Party (PP) and the Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE).

The author reflects on historical attempts to disrupt the bipartisanship in Spain, pointing out that other alternative forces such as Podemos and Ciudadanos had periods of significant popularity but ultimately failed to secure a lasting impact on the governance of the country. These parties became secondary players that obliged the main parties to form reluctant coalitions and agreements, yet they lacked the prowess to emerge as primary governing forces that could take on full state responsibilities. Vox currently appears to be treading a similar path, demonstrating reluctance in assuming high government responsibilities despite its electoral support.

This situation prompts reflection on the nature of political change in Spain. With citizen dissatisfaction driving the rise of alternative parties, the article suggests the need for a genuine political force that can effectively challenge the status quo. As Vox grapples with its potential limitations, it raises questions about the future of Spanish politics and the possibilities of a new party genuinely transforming the political landscape, beyond merely being a force that forces existing parties into uncomfortable agreements.
