Spanish politics

Coronavirus cases in Spain continue to rise and with no immediate end in sight of the pandemic or lockdown, the government has updated decree law detailing the measures of the state of alarm ("estado de alarma") that was implemented in Spain last Saturday.

The centre-left PSOE party has won the Spanish general election with 123 seats. If they combine with the far-left Unidas Podemos (42), they will have 165 seats in parliament but won’t reach an absolute majority (176), so they will need the support of other parties to govern.
