Description

This week's episode looks at results from last weekend’s election in the Spanish autonomous community of Castile and Leon. The incumbent governing Peoples Party had been polling strongly throughout Winter, but failed to replicate those results, falling to their lowest ever vote share. Did Alfonso Fernández Mañueco make a mistake in calling the early election? Why did the Peoples Party fall so short of expectations? Will they go into government with the far-right Vox Party for the first time? And with a General Election a year away and elections coming up this year in Andalucia, how will the Socialists rate their performance in this regional election? All these questions and more answered in this week’s podcast.
