The exhibition, titled How Extremist Narratives Are Destroying Democracies, is on display at the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters at the University of Córdoba. It is part of Project Arenas (Analysis and Response to Extremist Narratives), a European Union-backed initiative that aims to identify and analyze phenomena considered extremist, including «post-truth» and «fake news».
One of the most prominent panels in the exhibition addresses the concept of «ethnonationalism,» a term that, according to the organizers, «has become popular.» In this section, the stance of Vox regarding immigration is linked to statements by the president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz-Ayuso, who allegedly stated that «mass immigration is an orchestrated and perfectly calculated plan.» A photograph of the Madrid leader accompanies this content.
“"Mass immigration is an orchestrated and perfectly calculated plan."
The exhibition also criticizes Vox's «ultra-narratives,» particularly concerning the concept of «anti-Spain.» Furthermore, it mentions the former president of the Valencian Community, Carlos Mazón, for labeling left-wing policies as «sectarian and dangerous.» The exhibition's text reproaches Mazón for his opposition to the Green Pact and his comments about President Pedro Sánchez's support for separatist allies over those affected by the Dana.
The exhibition's curator, Steven Fonti, also uses examples such as former U.S. President Donald Trump to illustrate the spread of «hoaxes.» The exhibition denounces «historical revisionism in Italy and Slovenia» by parties that, according to the exhibition, seek to perpetuate an ultra-spirit similar to that which preceded World War II. It even refers to the use of radio as war propaganda by General Gonzalo Queipo de Llano in Seville during the Spanish Civil War.
