Spaniards headed to the polls on Sunday in a landmark election. Newcomers Podemos – an anti-austerity leftist party – and the liberal Citizens are challenging the ruling Popular Party (PP) and Socialists.
The conservative PP has a majority in Spain’s lower house of parliament and is tipped to win by a narrow lead according to Opinion Polls. Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy managed to take Spain from its crisis to a period of growth.
Despite this, opinion polls state that no party will get a majority and some sort of coalition may need to be created.
