Extremadura's early regional elections, held on a rainy Sunday, are pivotal for Spain's political future, with polls favoring the PP and Vox, potentially shaping the national political landscape until 2027. Voter turnout and incidents at polling stations are notable, and the results could determine regional stability or coalition deals.
Exit polls from Spain's parliamentary election indicate that the conservative party PP is likely to lead negotiations to form a new government, potentially ending the socialist rule of Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez. PP secured between 145 and 150 seats, followed by the socialist party PSOE. The far-right party Vox is in contention for the third-largest political force. The possibility of PP joining forces with Vox raises concerns due to Vox's controversial policies on LGBT rights, immigration, abortion, and climate change denial. The election, held during the summer, focused heavily on cultural and societal matters, despite Sanchez's strong economic record.
Spain's general election is taking place, with all 350 seats in the Congress of Deputies up for allocation. The mainstream social-democratic party, PSOE, led by Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, is facing a challenge from the conservative PP party. If neither party secures a majority, they may seek to form coalitions with smaller parties. The election comes after a poor result for left-leaning parties in regional and local elections earlier this year. Turnout is a concern due to the election being held later in the summer.
Spain is holding a major election that could potentially bring the far right party Vox to power for the first time since Francisco Franco's dictatorship. Polls suggest a conservative win for the PP, but they may need to form a coalition government with Vox. This scenario is seen as moderately market-positive. The election is focused on cultural issues such as nationalism, LGBT rights, and climate change. The outcome may also be influenced by recent heatwaves in Spain.
