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.

Spain is holding a general election that could potentially see the far right return to power for the first time since the era of dictator Francisco Franco. Opinion polls indicate that the political right has the advantage, with the possibility of a neo-fascist party being part of the next government. The choice for voters is between another leftist coalition or a coalition between the right and the far right. The election outcome will have implications for Europe, particularly in terms of immigration and climate policies. The campaign has been marked by mudslinging and accusations of lying from both sides. A surprise factor could be the new movement called Sumar, which brings together 15 small left-wing parties and aims to beat out the far-right Vox party for a potential third-place finish.
