Spain's Election: Socialists Face Potential Loss of Power as Far-Right Party Gains Influence

TL;DR Summary
Spaniards are voting in a general election that could see Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez's governing Socialists lose power and a far-right party, Vox, enter government for the first time since the 1970s. Opinion polls suggest a win for the centre-right People's Party, but they would need to form a coalition with Vox to govern. The final result is expected to be decided by a narrow margin, and the outcome could hinge on whether smaller parties support Sanchez or the People's Party leader, Alberto Nunez Feijoo. The election has been called early after the left's poor performance in local elections in May.
