Spain’s conservative PP elbows Socialists out in regional elections | Reuters

By Thomas A. Smith

MADRID, May 28 (Reuters) – Spain’s ruling Socialists suffered heavy losses to opposition conservatives in Sunday’s local election, with around 95% of the votes counted, showing their electoral vulnerability ahead of an end-of-year general election.

>Only three of the 12 regions holding elections will retain Socialist dominance by very narrow margins, with the rest likely go to the conservative People’s Party, albeit with coalitions or informal support agreements with the far-right Vox party.The map changes completely and is a boost for Alberto Nuñez Feijoo – the new leader of the PP – ahead of the elections at the end of the year,” said Ignacio Jurado, professor of political science at the Carlos III University.
