Spain’s govt calls snap election after local ballot losses FMTNews FMTWorld
The left-wing coalition government of Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez suffered heavy losses in regional ballots yesterday.
Sanchez had said on numerous occasions that he wanted to see out a full term in office and that elections would take place in December, near the end of his rotating presidency of the European Union, which begins on July 1. “Although yesterday’s elections had a local and regional scope, the meaning of the vote conveys a message that goes beyond that,” Sanchez said in a televised speech. “I believe it is necessary to respond and submit our democratic mandate to the will of the people.”
The results indicate that the PP and the anti-immigrant and anti-separatist Vox could unseat Sanchez and his Socialist Workers’ Party if they replicated that performance at national parliamentary level.
