- Abstract
The discursive strategies of the heterogeneous political field of radical right on a global scale present coinciding characteristics, among which provocation, scandalization, polarization and the dissemination of hoaxes through social networks stand out. Likewise, within their programmatic axes, they coincide in a strong rejection of immigration. In order to advance our understanding of these aspects in Spain, we have set up the following aims: to analyze Vox's discourse on adult immigrants and unaccompanied minors on the social network Twitter applying the techniques of Critical Discourse Analysis and those of the Multimodal Discourse, and to detect some of the most recurrent fake news about the migrant population that Vox disseminates through this social network. In order to accomplish these objectives, a corpus of tweets on this issue has been compiled in the accounts of the most mediatic political profiles and with the largest number of followers of the party, as well as in its official account, for 15 months. Mixed methodology techniques, both quantitative and qualitative, have been applied. The results show the general frequencies of issuance of tweets about immigration in the 5 accounts analyzed, the different thematic axes and the multimodal strategies with which Vox stigmatizes and dehumanizes migrants, the collocations used by the party and some of the most frequent hoaxes of its anti-immigration discourse. The work concludes that one of the most important pillars of Vox's discursive order is the manufacture of hoaxes to criminalize and generate fear around immigration and thus normalize the hate speech towards this group.
