Spain’s Conservatives lose majority in Andalusia, leaving far-right deal likely – POLITICO

MADRID — The conservative People’s Party won an election in Spain’s Andalusia region but looks to have lost its majority in the local parliament, in a setback for the party’s moderates as they prepare for next year’s general election.

The underwhelming result — which saw the PP lose seats to its left and to its right — means the party will almost certainly need the backing of the far-right Vox party in order to form a new government.

“We didn’t graduate with first-class honours,” said Juanma Moreno, the PP candidate and incumbent regional president, of the result. “But we did get an outstanding grade.”
