The phrase became a rallying taunt in Spanish politics in 2023, during regional and general election campaigning. It is closely associated with Madrid president Isabel Díaz Ayuso and with criticism of prime minister Pedro Sánchez, whose opponents accused his Socialist Party of seeking support from EH Bildu. Txapote is the nickname of Francisco Javier García Gaztelu, a former ETA military chief. From television clips and street chants, the line spread across Spanish social media as a reusable political punchline.

Clip of the Spanish political taunt que te vote Txapote, aimed at Pedro Sánchez and linked to Ayuso, used in memes, edits and protest reaction videos.
This is a short Spanish political voice clip built around the phrase que te vote Txapote, delivered as a sharp taunt rather than a normal sentence. The line lands because Txapote was a convicted ETA commander, so the insult accuses the target of relying on extremist support to win votes. Spoken with a confident, dismissive edge, it sounds like a debate mic drop. Online, the clip is cut into reaction posts and edits where its sting, rhythm and instant recognisability do the work before any context is explained.
