MADRID — Spaniards braved scorching temperatures to go to the polls Sunday in a highly charged election, with the left seeking to hold back a predicted conservative wave that could mint the most right-wing government since the death of longtime dictator Gen. Francisco Franco in 1975.
Most opinion polls suggest a first-place finish for the center-right Popular Party led by the 61-year-old moderate conservative Alberto Núñez Feijóo. Hailing from the same Spanish region — Galicia — as both Franco and Spain’s last conservative prime minister, Mariano Rajoy, Feijóo has proudly described himself as “boring” even as he outmaneuvered Sanchez in the debates and led conservatives to the threshold of power.
“I think Spain will do better than it is” with the right, she said. Feijóo “would have no other choice” but to govern with Vox, she added, “and I prefer that to the Socialists.” Feijóo had previously pledged to try to avoid a coalition with Vox, but he has grown more pragmatic on a quest to rule. Long considered fringe, Vox denies man-made climate change, haswhere it recently came to power, wants to repeal gender-based violence laws, roll back abortion rights, close the Ministry of Equality and eliminate “ideology” from schools.
Javier, a 39-year-old construction worker in Granada who did not give his last name, said he voted for Vox. “I don’t like the way the current government is managing things,” he said. On a day where temperatures were set to rise to 103 degrees, he said he did not consider the party’s stance that climate science is fiction — and how it wants to undo water limit rules in drought-plagued Spain.
