Recent opinion polls indicate that Spanish conservative parties, including the People's Party (PP) and the far-right Vox, are on course to secure a combined parliamentary majority in the upcoming November 29 election called by Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez. According to El País, these two parties would win 198 seats together, surpassing the required threshold of 176 for a majority. This development could potentially end Spain's left-leaning government and bring Vox into central government for the first time since the country's transition to democracy in 1975.

Story summary
In October 2023, two opinion polls indicated that Spain's centre-right People's Party (PP) and far-right Vox would likely win a combined parliamentary majority in an early general election scheduled for November 29. The surveys suggested the PP-Vox coalition could secure 198 seats, surpassing the 176-seat threshold needed to form a government, up from their total of 170 seats in the previous election in 2023. This outcome would mark the first time since Spain returned to democracy after Francisco Franco's death in 1975 that a far-right party would be part of central government. Socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez called for early elections amid mounting protests over housing shortages and rising rents, following the eviction of an 87-year-old woman. Sanchez hopes these issues will galvanize leftist voters but faces challenges from investigations into alleged corruption within his party and influence peddling by his family members.
