Spain is going to the polls in a general election that offers a choice of two starkly contrasting visions. Socialist leader Pedro Sánchez has been Prime Minister since 2018, and he hopes the government’s social reforms and its handling of a strongly performing economy will win over voters. But his party has been lagging in polls behind the conservative People’s Party led by Alberto Núñez Feijóo, who may end up needing far-right support. This is the first Spanish general election of modern times held in the searing heat of mid-summer, when many Spaniards are on holiday.
