Spanish Election Results: Conservatives Win, But No Clear Majority
Spain's right-wing Popular Party (PP) won the snap general election but fell short of a parliamentary majority, securing 136 seats out of 350. The PP now needs support from several junior parties, including the far-right Vox party, to achieve a governing majority. However, even with Vox's support, they are seven seats short. The radical left-wing Sumar, which backed the Socialists, won 31 seats. Smaller region-specific parties, including the Catalan pro-independence parties, may play a role in forming a coalition. Failure to form a coalition could lead to another election.
