BREAKING: With nearly all ballots counted, Spain's Socialists win vote, but left-wing bloc falls short of majority to form government.
The leader of the United We Can anti-austerity party in Spain says that it has already offered the incumbent prime minister Pedro Sánchez his desire to form a left-wing coalition government.
Abascal has told supporters in central Madrid that he blames the once-dominant conservative Popular Party for not being able to garner enough votes for the right-wing to oust incumbent Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez. The result means that Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez will be able to enter negotiations for a governing alliance with the far-left United We Can Party, whose leader has offered to share a coalition Cabinet.
Ortega Smith says that “this is an ephemeral victory since the left knows that with Vox their party is over.” The Socialists are poised to become the most voted party since 2008, but will need to make pacts with other parties to remain in office.Partial results in Spain’s election show the incumbent Socialists winning the most votes in the general election but falling well short of a majority. The far-right, meanwhile, has made strong gains.
Spain’s Interior Ministry says that turnout was over 75%, well above the average in the previous 12 elections since Spain returned to democratic rule.Polls have closed in most of Spain in an election with one of the highest turnout levels in recent years amid division over the role that the far-right could play in influencing the country’s politics.
In Catalonia, turnout is up to 64.2% from nearly 46.4% in 2016. This is the first national election since the region’s failed secession attempt in 2017. Sunday’s election comes during the ongoing trial of 12 leaders of Catalonia’s secession bid who are facing charges including rebellion. Five of those defendants are running in the election from inside a jail cell.
Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s Socialist party is favored to get the most votes, but it is expected to fall far short of a majority. The right-wing in Spain, long dominated by the conservative Popular Party, has now split into three groups, including the Citizens party and the far-right nationalist Vox party.
“Millions of Spaniards are going to vote with hope. They are going to do it without fear for anything or anybody,” he told cameras. Having voted in all elections since Spain returned to democratic rule four decades ago, following the dictatorship of Gen. Francisco Franco, the couple they didn’t have much trust in politicians.
Pablo Iglesias, the leader of the left-wing United We Can party, also stressed the importance of voting on Sunday.
