Far right surges as crises threaten Sanchez: Could Vox lead Spain? | Elections News | Al Jazeera

Far right Vox in Spain is gaining influence ahead of snap elections called by Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez. A recent poll suggests Vox and the People's Party (PP) could secure 198 seats, potentially forming a coalition that would return the hard right to power for the first time since Franco's death in 1975. Vox, once a fringe party, has doubled its support since 2023, driven by anti-immigration rhetoric and opposition to Sanchez's policies. The elections on November 29 could see the right-wing coalition defeating Sanchez's party, which is predicted to win 112 seats.
