Leading polls in Spain predict a decisive victory for the right-wing parties in the upcoming snap elections on November 29th, following the collapse of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez's left-wing government. Sánchez's party, PSOE, is expected to lose approximately 20 seats. In contrast, the far-right VOX party is projected to gain around 30 seats, effectively doubling its strength. The center-right PP party is anticipated to maintain its current standing with roughly 140 seats.
The Spanish Parliament has 350 seats, with a majority requiring 176 members. The current projections indicate that VOX and PP could form a coalition commanding 200 seats, significantly exceeding the threshold needed for governance. Sánchez's outgoing coalition held fewer than 170 seats.
This potential shift represents a major change for Spain, which the article suggests would be highly beneficial for Israel. Sánchez has pursued a distinctly anti-Israel policy, and it is unlikely he will return as prime minister after the elections.
