Spain's Right Joins Forces for the Senate
The pact is meant to prevent vote splitting and protect a Senate majority that could shape judicial appointments and block left-wing legislation.
- On Monday, the People's Party and Vox agreed to coordinate Senate lists across 23 provinces to avoid splitting the right-wing vote ahead of the Spain Election on November 29. Vox will field one candidate in 14 provinces while the People's Party sits out three.
- Miguel Tellado, PP secretary general, called the pact 'good news' to 'protect the centre-right majority in the Senate' from the left. Three-fifths of the Senate is required to renew the Constitutional Court and General Council of the Judiciary, which the PP secured in 2023.
- Vox stated the parties share a goal to 'expel Pedro's criminal organisation' from public institutions, though platforms differ. In provinces where Vox skips races, the People's Party will place Vox-proposed independents on its lists.
- Spain publishes official candidate lists on Wednesday, allowing voters to verify the alliance's implementation. The strategy targets provinces where the People's Party historically struggled, including Gipuzkoa, Girona, and Tarragona.
- Prediction markets reflect investor attention to the maneuver: Kalshi priced Feij at 82% to become Prime Minister, while Polymarket priced the People's Party at 81% to win the general election. Senate control influences future judicial appointments.
