This is “roughly” the view shared by most experts consulted by EFE after the British decided on Thursday leave the EU and two days ahead of the legislative elections in Spain.
analysts leave in the air, as something subject to speculation, if the force most benefit is the Popular Party (center right), since it is in government and represents the “status quo” or if it harms can (left and anti-austerity), perceived as more “anti”.
