To do this, a content analysis of the last three Vox's political programs is realized, attending to the presence of elements of several trends of the radical right political family. These elements are determined with a previous review of the literature of the radical right phenomenom and the two main trends that coexist in the Western political parties of this ideology: authoritarian neoliberalism and social-identitarianism. The analysis shows the existence of elements of both trends in Vox's political programs, with a clear tendency to authoritarian neoliberalism particular topics. However, social-identitarianism topics are also present and have been increasing in recent years. The coexistence of both trends is due to the subordination of their elements to ultranationslism, Vox's main characteristic.

A quantitative analysis with secondary data from the CIS is made to study videosurveillance's acceptability depending on its spatial distribution; to discover the sociological profile of the people who accept it and the ones who reject these systems; and to evaluate the attitudes towards video surveillance in the trade-off between privacy and security. Besides, a qualitative analysis is developed through a group of a discussion, which accompanies the analysis of attitudes in the framework of the tradeoff between privacy and security. The final results reflect the importance and validity of the privacy-security binomial in order to explain the citizen's position towards video-surveillance. Institutional trustworthiness and ideological self-location are also relevant to illustrate its social acceptability.

To do this, their core concepts and how they have been theoretically conceptualized by their cultural referents will be studied. First, it locates radical right within the framework of the far-right, understanding its differences with the extreme right and showing its internal heterogeneity. Then, the cultural referent that have shaped the political theory of the radical right are addressed, specifically four tendencies: the European New Right (ND) of Benoist and Faye (as the main ideological matrix of the radical right), the neotraditionalism of Evola and Dugin, the alt-right of Bannon and the radicalized conservatism of Scruton and Olavo de Carvalho. Finally, the political theory of the radical right is described, marked by a decadentist diagnosis of the society, ethnonationalists objectives and metapolitical and reformist means. El presente artículo tiene como objetivo explicitar la teoría pol...
