A right-wing bloc will win the most seats in the Spanish parliamentary elections - but will fall short of the 176 seats required to take control of the government with negotiations between parties to ensue
PP, on 136 seats, and far-right party Vox, with 33 seats, are collectively set to win 169 seats in the parliamentary elections - short of the 176 required to take control of the government.
The mainstream conservative Popular Party led most polling during the campaign and is hoping that its first national victory since 2016 could let candidate Alberto Nunez Feijoo unseat Mr Sanchez. But it may need the help of the far-right Vox party to do so. Spain’s two main leftist parties are pro-EU participation. On the right, the PP, led by Mr Feijoo, is also in favour of the EU. Vox, headed by Santiago Abascal, is opposed to EU interference in Spain’s affairs.
With no party expected to garner an absolute majority, the choice is basically between another leftist coalition and a partnership of the right and the far right.
