That’s not quite true. Russia is an ally with the European far right while everyone else (except tankies) steers clear of them. The beef with China meanwhile is very much a centrist establishment position (because it’s relevant to American interests and European auto manufacturers), while everyone else couldn’t care less. What Spain is doing is only ideologically coded in the sense that the center won’t do it.
