TL;DR Summary

Spain is heading for elections, with the right-wing Popular Party (PP) expected to win the most seats but without a parliamentary majority. This could lead to a coalition government with the far-right Vox party, marking the first time a far-right party holds power since the end of Franco's dictatorship. The PP's campaign has faced challenges, including questions about its leader's ties to a drug trafficker. On the other side, the Socialists and a new left-wing movement called Sumar warn that a right-wing government would threaten Spain's post-Franco changes. Many voters are undecided, reflecting a sense of choosing the least bad option. The election results are expected to be close.
