Spain’s ultraconservative Vox party is posed to enter a regional government for the first time, after record results in local elections on Sunday.
Vox came third in the central Castilla y Leon region, more than tripling its share of the vote after winning 13 seats in the 81-strong assembly.
The main opposition center-right People’s Party came first with 31 seats, two more than in the previous election in 2019. And the Socialist party of Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez finished second with 28 seats, seven less than last time.
