Ideology/policies/position edit

Not sure why people need to hear this (especially since I'm having to say this on an article for a party I only learnt about through the existence of this page) but if you are going to mess with the ideology/political position listed in the infobox, or the wording of the stated policies listed please actually provide a source, good reason, or at the very least try discussing it first.

@Pol revision I find it very strange how you are insisting on sources for one specific ideology listing but none of the others. Totalibe (talk) 15:47, 17 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
Because the rest of labels are both admitted by them, neutral people and critics, so there is no necessity to question those labels. However, the idea of "Spanish nationalism" is questioned, not only by critics from progressive movements, but also from conservative to leninist critics.
If it is to be added, at least a reference should be mentioned so people can see who labels them as Spanish nationalists.
I will also like to add that they put great emphasis, at least now, on the self-determination of Catalonia and other regions and on Federalism, which are positions rarely found in Spanish nationalist movements and ideologies. Pol revision (talk) 16:05, 17 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Far left label edit

Just looking at the page, the many of its positions listed or its accused of having (natalism, anti-feminism, anti-surrogacy, racism, anti-immigration/islamophobia, homophobia/transphobia, anti-affirmative action, anti-political correctness, and supporting the great replacement theory) seem counter to most far-left or generally progressive social positions. Either these are mischaracterizations of the party's positions, or it shouldn't be plainly labeled as "far-left" in the info box and instead syncretic with left-wing or far-left economic positions and right-wing or far-right social positions. Because I don't live in Spain nor speak Spanish I can't truly assess the sources or tell whether the social positions are considered extremely conservative in Spanish society, but it doesn't seem like the info-box label and the party's apparent positions match up.

The thing here is that FO is not racist, anti-inmigration or things like that.
They are, indeed, syncretic and do not classify as left themselves, but... well.
I think you get the point, this page is gonna be a mess as this party is very polemical. WillyElSalami (talk) 13:50, 19 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
