Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The double defeat has placed Sánchez's government in a deep crisis, as the Socialist Party trails the conservative opposition in the polls. The political shift could result in a coalition between the conservative People’s Party and the far-right Vox party.
