Spanish right-wing parties keep solid lead ahead of November election, polls show
Polls show the PP and Vox with 198 seats, above the 176 needed for a majority, as support for the Socialists and Sumar falls.
- 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.

The early elections in Spain, scheduled for 29 November, will be marked, everything indicates, by the arrival to the central government of the extreme right of the Vox. Polls – which in the case of Spain have managed to get a real preview of the votes – indicate that, in a somewhat unexpected way, everything will remain exactly the same as what happened in the previous elections, in July 2023: the People's Party will win with a too short majorit…
A more restrictive migration policy, the repeal of laws regarding equality and LGBTQ+ rights, and a departure from Schengen. A small selection of the plans of the Spanish far-right party Vox.
