- Abstract
The two 2019 Spanish elections, held on April 28 (28A) and on November 10 (10N), were marked by the irruption of the far-right populist party Vox, which went from 23 to 52 deputies. The aim of this research is to analyze the impact of its emergence in the structure of the communities (Smith et al., 2014) of political debate networks on Twitter during these two elections. The study also compares the structures of the two 2019 elections with those of 2015 and 2016, as well as the political distances between the main Spanish parties. The analyzed sample is made up of more than 1.5 million tweets published during the electoral campaigns of 28A and 10N. Although previous research shows that, in general, interaction patterns and networks structures tend to remain stable after the repetition of an election this research shows a substantial change in the structure of RON communities (Guerrero-Solé, 2017) and in the distances between parties. Specifically, the research shows an increase in the distance between the two main Spanish political blocs -the one formed by the triple right wing (PP, Cs and Vox) and the one constitudes by left and nationalist parties- and (2) the location of Vox in the center of the right-wing cluster.
