    Alejo Vidal-Quadras Roca, one of the founders of Spain’s far-right party Vox and the former head of Spain’s Popular Party in Catalonia, has been seriously injured after being shot in the face in broad daylight in Madrid.

    Emergency services in the Spanish capital on Thursday November 9th rushed Alejo Vidal-Quadras Roca (78) to Madrid’s Gregorio Marañón hospital after receiving a bullet to the jaw.

    Although he has been seriously injured, Vox’s leader Santiago Abascal has claimed his life is not in danger.

    “He was conscious and taken to hospital,” a police source told news agency AFP, adding that the National Police homicide unit was leading the investigation.

    The shooting took place at around 1.30pm in Madrid’s upmarket Salamanca district.

    Spanish media has reported that a person on a motorbike approached the politician and fired at him at point-blank range.

    Police have not yet arrested or identified the perpetrator.

    Although the reason for the attack is also unknown, it comes at a time of heightened political tensions in Spain, with right-wing demonstrations taking place across the country to protest the amnesty acting PM Pedro Sánchez has granted Catalan separatists in return for their support.

    Vidal-Quadras, a former vice president of the European Parliament, founded Vox in 2013 together with other right-wing politicians.

    He was also the president of Spain’s centre-right Popular Party in Catalonia from 1991 to 1996.

  3. Awww…anyways who’s playing the new Mario Wonder?

  4. If he survives (and it looks like he will) it’ll be the best thing that ever happened to his political career

  6. Hope he’s okay.

    Public attempts at executing politicians is a very, very bad thing for a country.

  12. Madrid’s not as safe as people think. It’s got lots of dangerous neighborhoods , gangs, etc.

    Me sentía más seguro en Mexico que en Madrid.

    Downvoted by ignorant idiots that have never been to Madrid. Smh.

  13. When people’s political beliefs revolve solely around scapegoating certain groups of people, oppressing them and stirring up hatred and division among the people it’s very difficult to give a flying fuck when they reap what they sow.

  14. Sorry to disappoint everybody arguing about the validity of shooting far righters in the face, but it seems that this was a hit organised by Iran and has nothing to do with him being a right winger.

    Edited a bit at the end because I was confused about who financed Vox, and to add [source](https://www.elmundo.es/madrid/2023/11/09/654cdd3ee9cf4a02628b45af.html) (in Spanish) for the man being blacklisted by Iran.

  17. This comment section is the saddest thing I have seen all month.

    Imagine promoting/supporting violence just because u dislike the person it’s targeted at. No not even the person bit an idea he shares with others u can’t agree with.

    “Violence and injustice is fine as long as its targeted against people I disagree with”

    Touch some grass. I’m as liberal as it gets but this is just hate. And supporting hate and violence is obviously disgusting
