Madrid, Spain – Across much of Europe, support for the far right is surging – and after Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s decision to call a snap general election for July, Spain could soon become the next European country to have an ultra-conservative party pacing the corridors of national power.
Socialist PM Sánchez was forced to bring forward Spain’s general election from its expected date of December to July 23 after regional and local elections held on May 28 saw the mainstream right-wing Partido Popular party (PP) make huge nationwide gains.
