Spanish right-wing parties keep solid lead ahead of November election, polls show
Polls put the PP at 31.9% and Vox at 18.9%, enough for a 198-seat majority that could return conservatives to power.
- 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.
