Abstract
Aim. To expose the narratives used by the Spanish far-right party VOX to create an international ideological far-right.
Methodology. A discourse analysis of the document The Madrid Charter is done to obtain the main narratives used by VOX ideologues to expand their ideological and colonialist project to Latin America.
Results. This analysis demonstrates the Madrid Charter is an ideological tool of the Spanish far-right to consolidate a political international of ultranationalist forces in Latin America in the creation of a multipolar world.
Research implications. European far-right internationalism can be studied as ideological colonialism that is accepted by clientelist non-European elites in Latin America
