2019 Spanish general election

The 2019 Spanish general election, held on April 28, aimed to elect members of the Congress of Deputies and the Senate. The election resulted in no clear majority, highlighting Spain’s political fragmentation. The Conservative People’s Party (PP) and the far-right Vox gained ground, while the center-left Socialist Workers’ Party (PSOE) remained the largest party. No party secured enough seats to govern alone, leading to subsequent coalition negotiations. The election underscored divisions over Catalonia's independence and immigration, reflecting Spain’s complex and diverse political landscape. It ultimately prompted the formation of a new government after months of political negotiations.
