Sánchez's leftist coalition
VS
PP and Vox
Spain is holding a snap general election amid falling support for Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez's leftist coalition.
Polls suggest the conservative People's Party (PP) and the far-right Vox could together win enough seats to form a government, potentially ending Sánchez's tenure as one of Europe's last leftist leaders.
