Santiago Abascal is a very populor populist leader in Spain. He tweeted out today that he self quarantined after the Secretary-General of VOX Party Javier Ortega tested positive for coronavirus.

Santiago Abascal: This Tuesday, upon learning Javier Ortega’s positive, I quarantined myself and asked a private lab for a Covid-19 test. The test has also tested positive, so I’ll keep working from home. Thank you for your concern, although I am reasonably fine. I will ask the President of the Government that at the meeting he convened next Monday with the party leaders, we can participate by video conference or similar so that we can all provide our vision and proposals. We will continue to call on the government to be a unit of national action, decreing a state of alarm, and that all state resources be dedicated to alleviating this pandemic, which is already a brutal health, economic and social crisis.
