Far-right party wins seats in Spanish election for first time since Franco era
Santiago Abascal, leader of far right party Vox, gestures supporters gathered outside the party headquarters following the general election in Madrid, yesterday
VOX became the first far-right party to win seats in the Spanish parliament since the Franco era yesterday’s snap general election.
Spain’s ruling Socialist Party (PSOE) won the most seats and is expected to govern in a coalition. Discussions with the left Podemos party are being held in an attempt to reach a deal.
Despite Vox’s return of 2.6 million votes, the results did not necessarily show a lurch to the right as the party benefited from a drop in support for the conservative People’s Party (PP), which lost some 3.6 million votes.
