The spokesperson for Vox in the Assembly of Madrid, Isabel Pérez Moñino, has shared a video on her X profile linking immigration with citizen insecurity by stating that "a foreigner" mugged her mother in a supermarket in Fuenlabrada.

In the video, she states that after the purse snatching, €700 was withdrawn from her bank account. To date, there is no official confirmation of the identity or nationality of the perpetrator, nor any record of arrests related to the case."This is the Madrid of all accents that Mrs. Ayuso defends," states Isabel Pérez Moñino in the video, linking the diversity that the President of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, has often mentioned to crime and criticizing the regional government's security management.Theory of the "great replacement"
In these statements, the Vox spokesperson implicitly alluded to the “great replacement” theory, a belief used by the party to instill fear through a narrative that claims the native population is at risk of being replaced by immigrants. A communication strategy aimed at spreading unfounded fear among society.
These types of speeches, in addition to fostering polarization, lack statistical basis and contribute to stigmatizing entire communities, creating a climate of distrust and hostility towards immigration.
