Elections in Spain with a lot of uncertainty | Chronic

Spaniards go next Sunday to a decisive meeting with the ballot box to decide between a progressive government led by the Socialist Pedro Sánchez or a radical right turn that threatens to take over the power of the right-wing party Vox.

Everything in the middle of a rarefied climate and with a lot of aggressive tone. The uncertainty surrounding the scope of the vote hidden in Vox, a party that emerges forcefully in the heat of the secessionist conflict in Catalonia and in agreement with the far-right movements that cross Europe, makes the results more unpredictable than ever.

The internal polls of the parties, the warnings of the international press, as well as the demonstration of strength – nationalist exaltation and strength – of the party of Santiago Abascal, fear that the right can add a majority.

The outgoing president, Pedro Sanchez, is the favorite, but he must form a coalition government or seek external support for his investiture, his Socialist Party (PSOE) being far from the threshold of 175 seats, which is the absolute majority a congress with 350 chairs.

To stay in power, Sanchez is said to be ready to "collaborate" with the Unidas Unidas progressives, which is leading Pablo Iglesiasalthough this is not enough and I should also seek the support of Catalan Basque secessionists and nationalists.

In videoconferencing from a prison in Madrid, where the resolution is awaiting trial for the failure of the 2017 secession process, the leader of Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya (ERC), Oriol Junqueras, said at the end of the campaign that the PSOE "This is not legitimate".

The message was addressed to his, because a few days ago, he also said that his party would not facilitate "Neither by action nor by omission", a far right government in Spain. The head of the PP, Pablo Casado, directs the block to the right, but saw how his hegemony was threatened by the center and the far right.

Meanwhile, the ultra party of Santiago Abascal It was the revelation in the regional elections of Andalusia in December of 12 deputies, who were key to the PP and the citizens formed a coalition government that raised the Socialists to power after 36 years.

However, the far right has not entered the regional executive, which Casado now proposes to lose sight of the center-right electorate, where the undecided are concentrated, according to experts.
With these data in mind, the leader of the citizens, Albert RiveraHe never mentioned Vox and, instead, focused on the hunt for the Socialist voter who opposed Sanchez making gestures in favor of the independence movement.
