I'm spanish, I've literally seen Vox spewing their shit in the streets. They are fascists.
I'm Spanish too but I don't vote for any party. If VOX are fascists I hope you call the far-left parties comunists + fascists too. If you don't see it that way, you're just whitewashing them and spreading their propaganda.
I don't think "whitewashing" is the word you were looking for, I don't see how racism has anything to do with this.
Vox are against basic human rights, misogynists, racists, homophobes, etc. I'll remind you the recent controversy where they said an "immigrant" committed some murder when it was in fact two Spaniards that did it. They support Franco's dictatorship, they want to go back to having women with no rights depending on their husbands for literally anything. They want to get rid of all the groups of people they don't like, although they don't openly say it like that. They are friends of wealthy people (who give them fundings) and have their best interests in mind, not those of the common people. They want to get rid of public healthcare, of pension funds, and other types of social benefits. They don't care about the environment or global warming.
Meanwhile, the "communists" are trying to eradicate violence against minorities, giving more rights to people and they've economically done a good job. And they have done nothing that is even remotely "communist" (please give me a counterexample).
FYI, whitewashing makes perfect sense to use there:
It has nothing to do with race in this context.
