Spanish voters are heading to the ballot boxes in a snap general election that could see a far-right party enter government for the first time in decades.
Most polls predict the center-right opposition Popular Party will win but fall short of an absolute majority in Parliament, meaning they would likely have to form a coalition with the far-right Vox party. Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, in power since 2018, gambled on holding a snap vote after his party suffered major setbacks in regional and local elections in May while the PP made huge gains.
Sanchez counters that he got votes from them to pass progressive laws, but they weren’t members of his government. So voters seem to have a clear choice – a new government coalition of the right or repeat one on the left.
