Spanish right-wing parties keep solid lead ahead of November election, polls show
Polls show PP and Vox could win 198 seats, giving the far-right party a path into central government for the first time since Spain's return to democracy.
- On Friday, opinion polls indicated that Spain's centre-right People's Party and far-right Vox are on track to win a combined parliamentary majority in the snap general election called for November 29.
- Socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez called the snap election this week after parliament rejected his government's proposals to address a mounting housing crisis amid widespread demands for better access to affordable housing.
- A survey by El País showed the People's Party and Vox could clinch 198 seats, surpassing the 176-seat threshold needed for a parliamentary majority, while the PP would secure 31.9% of the vote.
- The eviction of 87-year-old Maricarmen Abascal—who died in hospital on Wednesday—triggered widespread protests over surging rents, which Sanchez is gambling will galvanize leftist voters and shift attention from alleged corruption investigations.
- Opposition leader Alberto Nunez Feijoo is now positioned to become Spain's next prime minister, which could usher the far-right party into central government for the first time since Spain's return to democracy following the 1975 death of authoritarian leader Francisco Franco.

Even if the Vox and the People's Party can only achieve the minimums that the polls give them, this comes to an absolute comfortable majority, according to the latest poll on the early elections in Spain.
