This article analyzes the reasons why s in Spain, where many of the conditions associated with the emergence and growth of populism have occurred, a deep economic crisis that began in 2008 and a political crisis linked to the corruption scandals that affected the main parties of the system, this political current has not taken root. The traditional extreme right is very weak, the new parties like Podemos or Ciudadanos can not be considered populist and Vox that meets all the requirements to be considered a radical rightist party is different from this political family because of its absence of populism. It will be argued that this absence of populism is explained above all by the pre-eminence of left-right and national fractures, the traditional political fractures around which political competition is articulated in Spain
