Abstract

The aim of this article is to check which variables explain the vote of young people for radical parties in Spain and how they behave in the different ideological extremes. That is, what differentiates the vote for Vox and for Unidas Podemos? Specifically, the case of voting for Unidas Podemos and Vox since 2019, the year in which the latter party entered Congress, is analyzed.  To carry out this research, the analysis will identify the reasons that lead young people to vote for the different radical options as well as the differences between them and adults who also vote for these parties. This work is framed within the electoral behavior literature and bases its empirical contributions on data from the European Social Survey.
