Spain closes an election campaign marked by the rise of the far right and a high number of undecided

Spain closes the campaign of legislative elections Sunday between repeated calls from the head of socialist government Pedro Sánchez avoid the rise of the far right, which revolutionized the political landscape of the country.

Almost absent from Spanish politics since the end of the dictatorship of Francisco Franco, in 1975, the far right would forcefully enter Congress Spanish after Sunday's elections with the Vox party. The latest polls have shown this ultra-nationalist, anti-immigrant and anti-feminist more than 10% of the votes, when in 2016 barely collected 0.2%.

"No one was saying that Trump was going to be president of the United States and he did, nobody thought that Bolsonaro could be president of Brazil," Sanchez warned in an interview with the newspaper on Friday. The country.

Ten months after the motion of censure with which he overthrew his conservative predecessor, Mariano Rajoy, Sánchez leads all investigations. But governance is complicated in a Congress divided into two big blocks: on the one hand, the socialists of the PSOE and Podemos (radical left), and on the other hand, the Popular Party (conservatives), Ciudadanos (center-right) and Vox.

"The sums are very unlikely, one and the other," said AFP Francisco Camas, of the Metroscopia demonstration cabinet, Catalan and Basque regional festivals They can be keys.

"We have a real risk, which adds the right to the far right and can do in Spain what they do in Andalusia," said Sanchez, who won his first major electoral triumph.

The uncertainty is great: there are four million undecided and a lot of volatility, especially on the right, engaged in a hard battle to lead the conservative camp.

"If you really want to hunt Sanchez, what is responsible, what is patriotic, is to vote for the PP," he said in the newspaper. ABC Pablo Casado, the young relay of Rajoy before the PP.

This Friday, Married opened the door to Vox to enter his future government. "In the end, Vox and the citizens, to have 10 seats or 40, will have the influence they want to have to enter the government or to decide the nomination or the legislature." So, why are we going to step on the pipe if what we need to do, is it add? ", he said in statements to esRadio.

Threatened by Vox, who raised his campaign as "reconquest" of Spain and its traditional values, Casado and Albert Rivera, leader of Ciudadanos, raised the tone against Sánchez.

The debate focused on Catalonia and the politics of the PSOE, a year and a half after the attempt of independence. Sánchez, who came to power with the support of Podemos, Basque nationalists and Catalan separatists, sought to appease the conflict and began negotiations with regional president Quim Torra.

Although the dialogue did not succeed (the supporters of independence knocked out Sánchez's budget, which called for this electoral advance), this rapprochement ignited the right that made it his main weapon.

In a very tense environment, Casado accused Sanchez of "traitor", "criminal", "disloyal" and "being a public danger for Spain", while Rivera said the throw was a "national emergency".

The same phrase was used Thursday by Vox leader, Santiago Abascal, in an act in Valencia, where he called to choose between "the historical continuity of Spain or chaos and violence".

Faced with Sanchez's dialogue, the right proposes to suspend regional autonomy, as Rajoy had done after the failure of the attempted secession and, in some cases, the illegalization of parties separatists.

These trainings could however be essential to reelect Sanchez, who repeated to them that he would not yield to his main claim: a referendum of self-determination.
