Description

Even if PP won, Alberto Núñez Feijóo’s right-wing conservative political party fell short of an absolute majority in the legislature. Our guest expert, Mr. Jorge González-Gallarza from the Center for Fundamental Rights explains that Núñez Feijóo failed to capitalize on the public anger on the outgoing leftist coalition government led by PSOE. The socialists maintained their 2019 results, yet incumbent prime minister Pedro Sánchez’s party still needs the support of far-left and secessionist formations to be able to form a new government. In the newest episode of our podcast series, our guest analyst helps us understand

• what attributes made Mr. Núñez Feijóo the right prime minister candidate of PP
• what were the strength and weaknesses in the campaign of the socialists
• what could have been the reason for the weak performances of the national conservative Vox and the far-left electoral platform SUMAR, as well as
• how significant is the role of pro-independence regional political formations in Spanish party politics
