AB Populist radical right parties (PRRPs) are generally considered detrimental todemocracy. Research on their damaging potential tends to focus on their influence in triggering policy backsliding but leaves the promotion of gender equalityout of the equation. This study explores the case of Vox in Andalusia, a southernregion of Spain, to show how PRRPs also contribute to de-democratizationthrough their capacity to erode the equality framework. We demonstrate howthey can effectively dismantle and reframe crucial policies, even when not inoffice. This opens new analytical pathways for studying the role of PRRPs inundermining democratic systems.
