Far-right party makes gains in Andalusian elections
Supporters of Spain's far-right Vox party, wave Spanish flags as they celebrate the results during regional elections in Andalusia, in Seville, Spain, yesterday
PRESSURE is mounting on Spain’s Socialist Party Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez after the far-right Vox Party won 12 seats in Sunday’s election for the Andalucian regional parliament.
It is the first time that a far-right party has had electoral success in parliamentary elections at any level since the 1975 death of General Franco and the restoration of democracy in Spain.
The Socialist Party (PSOE) vote dropped to just 28 per cent and 33 seats, meaning that it will not be able to govern Andalucia even with the support of the left-wing Adelante Andalucia coalition.
