(Radio France International).- In a national manner European elections They are going to test the electoral strength of the current president, the socialist Pedro Sánchez, against his main rival, the conservative. Alberto Nunez Feijoo. For Sanchez, slight defeat this Sunday it will taste like victory because that would mean that he was resisting increasingly violent attacks from the right.

In what context did these changes in Spanish voting intentions occur?

IN very dizzying context, because there is so much going on in Spanish politics that it seems very far away.

Pedro Sanchez, however, wants to turn this news around and asks his voters to vote to respond to his wife’s summons to court, which he considers a maneuver with the right to influence the outcome of the elections. And it might work because even controversial approval of amnesty for pro-independence politicians The Catalans’ approval last week hurt the Socialists’ lead in the polls, as did confession from his government to Palestinian state.
