For years it was said that Spain was immune to the irruption of the far right, rampant throughout Europe. A reality that finds its first denials: in Andalusia, the most populous autonomous community in the country, bastion of the left, the nationalist party Vox entered the regional parliament for the first time with a result of around 11%., the equivalent of 12 seats. An expected boom, although not in these proportions, for a movement that has never had representatives in local assemblies, nor national.

Nella terra governata da 36 anni dalla sinistra, the PSOE scores a sensational defeat (14 seats lost), while remaining the leading party in the region with the 28%. For the outgoing president Susana Díaz, Pedro Sánchez's challenger within the party, it seems impossible to stay in power, also because Podemos, which loses three seats, he asks for his head. The ballots are counted during the night, and historic news looms: in the socialist vote pan, the right can now govern.
 
Vox's outburst also shocks the conservative front: the Popular Party loses votes and ends up just above the 20%, losing 7 seats, Cresce Citizens, which sees its parliamentary representation increase enormously (and 9 a 21 seats). Now the dilemma arises for the right: conservatives will come to an agreement with extremists? During the election campaign no one ruled him out and negotiations will start from today.
But beyond the fate of Andalusia, Yesterday's vote is a serious wake-up call for Pedro Sánchez. The socialist leader has been governing for six months without a real majority in parliament and his first electoral test is certainly not a success.
The works of Sánchez
Now a complicated scenario is opening up for the left-wing executive: impossible to carry out a finance company (moreover criticized by Brussels) and an increasingly evident parliamentary weakness, with the independence challenge in Catalonia still alive. The situation, In short, it could lead straight to early political elections. When? It is difficult to find a date due to the jam of appointments: il 26 May we vote, on the same day, for Europeans, regional (in many autonomous communities) and municipal. Adding policies for a mega election day also seems like a complex solution. So in Madrid no one is ruling out the possibility of going to the polls before May. With the far right that, for the first time since Franco's death, he will want to have his say.
