Spain has just elected far-right lawmakers for the first time since the death of Franco
On Sunday, the far-right party Vox won 24 seats in a Spain's snap election, which also saw the left-wing Socialist party make considerable ground in parliament.
The populist anti-feminist, anti-immigration, anti-Catalan group has pledged to “make Spain great again,” but failed to win over traditionally left-leaning workers, according to the BBC. The party failed to win an outright majority , but it did flip the upper house, winning 121 Senate seats to the Popular Party’s 56. Two hundred and eight of the upper house’s 266 seats were up for election.
It’s as yet unclear whether the party will form such a partnership—or what one would look like—but Deputy Prime Minister Carmen Calvo on Monday indicated the Socialists want to govern alone, according to newspaper La Vanguardia. “We think we have more than enough support to be the rudder of this ship," she said.
The traditionally center-right party followed a harder anti-immigration, anti-Catalan line this election, under the helm of Pablo Casado. Vox is thought to have split the right-wing vote, as the BBC noted.
