• Vox's leader, Santiago Abascal, aims to illegalize separatist parties.
• The Spanish Constitution aims to identify those who violate it not by their ideas, but by their actions.
• The Spanish Penal Code already provides for the illegalization of parties, if they violate the law by acting openly against Spain's existence.
• The People's Party proposes a reform of the Penal Code to fill the vacuum left by the elimination of the crime of sedition.
• This proposal by the People's Party is delicate and must be handled carefully to avoid political contradictions and potential defeats before the European Court of Human Rights.

Conclusion: It is imperative that political parties understand and respect the fundamental principles of Spanish democracy, avoiding actions driven by political polarization rather than respecting the spirit and letter of the Constitution.
