Spain’s Election with Juanma Lamet: Will PP and Vox Govern?

Will Spain’s snap election bring a government led by the Partido Popular (PP) and backed by Vox?

El Mundo political journalist Juanma Lamet joins Adrian Bono to discuss Pedro Sánchez’s prospects, Spain’s divided left and what a Feijóo–Vox governing alliance could mean for the country.

We explore why Vox is shaping the political conversation, how divisions between PSOE’s potential allies like Frente Amplio and Podemos could affect parliamentary seats, and why affordable housing matters to the future of Spanish democracy.

We also turn to Ceuta and Spain’s relationship with Morocco.
In this episode:

• Spain’s next government: PP, Vox and Alberto Núñez Feijóo
• Pedro Sánchez, PSOE and the fragmented Spanish left
• Housing, immigration and the rise of the far right
• Ceuta, Melilla and Spain–Morocco relations
• The EU’s role at Spain’s southern border

Juanma Lamet is a political journalist at El Mundo, where he focuses on the Partido Popular, and a regular commentator on Spanish television and radio.
