Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez is trying to win a third consecutive national election since taking power in 2018. But his leftist coalition took a beating in regional and local elections in May. Alberto Núñez Feijóo mainstream conservative Popular Party has led most polling during the campaign but they might have to form a coalition with Spain’s extremist party Vox for their first national victory since 2016. Such a coalition would return a far-right force to the Spanish government for the first time since the country transitioned to democracy in the late 1970s following the nearly 40-year rule of dictator Francisco Franco. For in-depth analysis and a deeper perspective on this defining moment for Spain, FRANCE 24 is joined by Jean Marc Sánchez, Franco-Spanish lawyer, Founder and member of the Franco-Spanish Commission of the Paris Bar, Professor of International Business Law at ILERI, and Founding Member of the Cercle Montesquieu and of the International Section of the ACE.
