MADRID A week of regional elections in Spain, the main national political leaders dumped in the campaign, at the prospect of no party achieved a clear, or autonomy or most major cities. All polls published Monday indicated a desire for change on the part of Spanish society, reflected in the rise of two new parties in the national political scene: Citizens (center, liberal) and Podemos (left) compared to the two traditional parties: the Popular Party (PP, conservative) and the Spanish Socialist Workers Party (PSOE, center left)
This fragmented scenario that predicts the need for agreements to govern, encourages the active participation of national leaders in the campaign, aware that the elections of May 24 will be interpreted as a prelude to the general elections scheduled for November.
The main parties presented these elections under the banner of change, including government PP calls for real “change” that began with his arrival to the national government in 2011.
