Spain is dealing with political uncertainty and the possibility of another election, but there is one positive outcome from the national ballot: the far-right Vox party was stopped from gaining power. Vox, known for its ultranationalist views, lost support from voters, preventing it from becoming a kingmaker or entering a governing coalition. The Popular Party, a mainstream conservative party, won the election but fell short of expectations. The Socialist Party, led by Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, finished second but celebrated the outcome as a victory since their combined forces gained more seats than the Popular Party and Vox. The future leadership of Spain is unclear as smaller regional parties may play a crucial role in forming a government through political negotiations. Despite the division, Sánchez hopes to stay in power and avoid another election. However, he faces challenges in securing the necessary support to have an absolute majority in Parliament. The Catalan separatist party Junts could hold the key to Sánchez forming a government, but their demand for a referendum on Catalonia’s independence may be too high a price for Sánchez to pay. With the election results, the Popular Party fell short of a majority and Vox lost seats compared to previous years. Vox campaigned on controversial issues such as rolling back gender violence laws, while both the PP and Vox agreed on repealing a new transgender rights law and a law related to victims of Francisco Franco’s regime. The new Parliament will meet in a month, and party leaders will have three months to reach an agreement to form a government. If no agreement is reached, new elections will be called.
