Loading ...Spanish PM Takes a Beating As Socialists Crushed in Galician Elections
Local elections over the weekend in the Spanish region of Galicia have once again proved the weakness of the country’s ruling socialist party as it presses forward with an unconstitutional amnesty law and an almost impossible legislature.
However, the elections also saw the rise of a radical Galician nationalist party.
The center-right Partido Popular, Spain’s main opposition party, solidly won the elections with 40 seats, giving them a comfortable absolute majority in the regional parliament. Spain’s governing socialist PSOE party, however, won just nine seats, its worst-ever result in the region.
