Sumario:The aim of this article is to understand the historical development of contemporary Spanish political antifeminism. We analyze it from its emergence in the context of the anti-choice demonstrations in the 1980s, to its incorporation as one of the central discursive lines of the political party Vox. We focus on the context of the convergence of two global trends: the reaction to the cycle of feminist and LGTBIQ+ mobilizations and the emergence of the new radical populist right-wing movements. To this end, the discursive frameworks, action repertoires and action strategies developed by the anti-abortion mobilization, the anti-gender mobilization and populist anti-feminism are analyzed, as well as their current convergence in Vox, to generate strategies to counteract the associated de-democratizing tendencies.
