Abstract

The Asociación Cultural Alfonso I of Cantabria
(ACAIC) is a Spanish far-right movement that emerged in Santander in 2011. Its populist, anti-immigration and anti-elite politics discourse has taken hold in the city of Burgos and in the city of Logroño, where two homonymous organizations pursuing the same objectives have been created. This article will analyze its genesis and its evolution in order to understand
the reasons for its social acceptance. Through netnography we will examine their ideology, their discursive tactics and their strategies to attract sympathizers. This phenomenon has been modified, although certain elements of continuity can be perceived. One of the factors that we think it is important to understanding its success at the local level is that it uses new communication strategies that force parliamentary parties to adapt to changes.
