The left-wing Spanish politician said his party took Brexit as an “inspiration” to launch its long-awaited campaign to remove Spain from the EU.
He said: “We see Brexit as a kind of inspiration, but it is not the only inspiration.

“We just want to fight together to make the Eurexit movement international.”
Generation Frexit founder Charles-Henri Gallois also told Express.co.uk last week that he believed partnering with parties across the bloc would open the door for more EU discussions in France.
He said: “I am in favor of Frexit, but it is not just a Frexit project.

“The conditions to enter the EU have changed a lot since the Maastricht Treaty, because it would be quite normal, if you are a Democrat, because the conditions change to consult the citizens and ask them if they still want to stay in the European Union or not.
“We have this great platform, this great project on a referendum on Frexit just like the British had a referendum on Brexit.”
He added: “I think it is in the interest of each country, so we will continue to work with our Italian friends and others.”

Nogues said parties are also getting involved in the Netherlands and Ireland.
Others before them have managed to fight against the political powers of the EU.
