Centre-Right Victory: People's Party Triumphs in Spain's Election

Spain's centre-right People's Party emerged victorious in the European election, securing 22 seats out of 61. This win is a setback for Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez's Socialist government, which secured 20 seats. The far-right Vox party gained ground, earning six seats, an increase from the previous four.

Spain's centre-right People's Party (PP) came out on top in Sunday's European election, garnering 22 seats out of the 61 allocated to the country, and dealing a blow to the Socialist-led government of Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez.

Sanchez's Socialists, spearheaded by Energy Minister Teresa Ribera, earned 20 seats after a campaign in which the opposition honed in on private corruption allegations against the premier's wife and an amnesty law for Catalan pro-independence leaders passed just one week before the election

Far-right Vox finished third with six lawmakers, up from the four it had in the previous legislature.
