Background
Vox is Spain's principal hard-right nationalist party, founded in 2013 and first entering the national Congress of Deputies in 2019. Under Santiago Abascal, it has built its platform around Spanish nationalist unity (opposing Catalan and Basque autonomy), immigration restriction, and free-market economic positions including strong opposition to rent controls and housing regulation. It is currently the main right-of-PP opposition party.
On housing, Vox's position is broadly consistent with its economic programme: the party opposes the Ley 12/2023 Housing Act, opposed the rent-freeze extension voted down in April 2026, and has been critical of the Plan Estatal de Vivienda 2026-2030 as a socialist intervention that will distort the market. Pepa Millán, its housing spokesperson, made these arguments in the April 2026 parliamentary debates.
Vox's political relationship to the nomad-and-communities topic is primarily as an opposition voice on national housing legislation. The party has been more vocal on immigration restriction generally than on the specific STR and digital-nomad policy dimensions; its nativist positioning on immigration is distinct from its property-rights arguments on housing, but both flow through opposition to the current government.
