By examining the messages published by Spanish political groups on Twitter, this paper seeks to identify the level and understanding of the type and use of hate speech within these groups’ discursive strategy. For this purpose, the topics of 60,209 tweets published between 1 September 2019 and 29 February 2020, by 16 political groups, leaders, and spokespersons of the Congress of Deputies in Spain were analysed. The data reveal a low presence of expressions of hate, most of which do not have a sentimental charge. Despite not observing a high rate of use of this type of expression within the rhetorical discursive strategy applied by political groups, some features associated with this type of expression are identified, more aimed at positioning around issues and specific social groups (immigration), and the greater use of messages published by others, retweeted by these actors for this purpose, among other features.

西班牙政治人物在 Twitter 上宣扬仇恨言论

通过研究西班牙政治团体在推特上发布的消息，本文试图确定这些团体话语策略中仇恨言论的类型和使用的程度和理解。为此，我们分析了西班牙 16 个政治团体、领导人和众议院发言人在 2019 年 9 月 1 日至 2020 年 2 月 29 日期间发布的 60,209 条推文的主题。数据显示，仇恨表达的情况很少，其中大多数没有情感上的指控。尽管在政治团体所采用的修辞话语策略中没有观察到此类表达的高使用率，但与此类表达相关的一些特征已被识别，更多地旨在围绕问题和特定社会群体（移民）进行定位，并且除其他功能外，更多地使用其他人发布的消息，并由这些参与者为此目的转发的消息。
