Recent coverage
The weather
The article discusses weather forecasts for Spain, predicting heavy showers and thunderstorms across both Meseta regions, with particularly strong storms expected in Girona. The instability is attributed to a stationary depression west of Portugal, leading to cloudy skies and scattered rain in central and northern areas. Thunderstorms are likely to intensify in the afternoon, affecting mountainous regions, both Mesetas, and the Central System area. Accumulated rainfall could be significant in eastern Catalonia but less so than previous dates. Southern regions and Canary Islands are expected to see minimal precipitation, though some isolated showers might occur. Morning fog and mist are forecasted in both Mesetas and northern and eastern parts of the peninsula, while dust storms (calima) may affect southern areas and the Canary Islands. Temperatures will remain stable in the islands but rise elsewhere, with moderate winds along the Strait of Gibraltar, Alboran Sea, and Menorca, and light to moderate trade winds in the Canary Islands.
Frente Amplio again eludes Podemos's primaries and bases an agreement on its joining the alliance
Frente Amplio, now known as Sumar, has once again avoided participating in open primaries proposed by Podemos for October 14–15, insisting that any agreement would require Podemos’s incorporation into their alliance. The alliance claims this collaboration has been built over a long period. Ernest Urtasun, Minister of Culture, stated they would not engage in public debates but welcomed proposals from others. Irene Montero, Podemos’s candidate, had suggested holding the primaries soon before the deadline for registering coalitions, which was triggered by the Prime Minister earlier this week. Urtasun emphasized that Frente Amplio consists of many organizations working together and would only consider agreements if Podemos joined them. During a joint appearance with Mónica García, Verónica Barbero, and Antonio Maíllo, Urtasun stressed that on November 29, when general elections will take place, Spaniards will choose between advancing rights or retreating under those who spread hatred. Mónica García noted that Frente Amplio supports Sánchez’s decision to call early elections and aims to include all groups within their coalition, including Podemos, Compromís, Mès, and Chunta Aragonesista.
Two months to choose between two Spaniards
The article discusses Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez's upcoming election campaign, scheduled for November 29th, and analyzes the challenges he faces in convincing Spanish voters to support his policies rather than simply opposing his opponents. It highlights the need for Sánchez to shift focus from fear-based messaging to promoting hope and positive change, particularly around housing reform. The piece notes that traditional fear tactics against right-wing parties like PP and Vox have lost their effectiveness due to these parties' successful integration into mainstream politics. Instead, Sánchez must emphasize tangible improvements in daily life, such as housing stability, which is seen as fundamental to people's quality of life. The article suggests that emotional polarization remains a strong driver in elections, with right-wing parties effectively using negative emotions against Sánchez.

From the surprise of 2023 to the uncertainty of 2026: the distance that (still) separates the Right from the Government
The article discusses the political landscape in Spain following the November 2023 general election, focusing on the unexpected outcome where the center-right Popular Party (PP), led by Alberto Núñez Feijóo, won the most votes but fell short of an absolute majority. This result contrasted with earlier predictions and expectations, particularly from the PP and its ally Vox, who had anticipated a stronger showing. The article attributes this outcome to several factors, including overconfidence in pre-election polls, delayed mobilization by the leftist bloc, and challenges in translating votes into parliamentary seats due to Spain’s electoral system. It also highlights how the final week of the campaign shifted momentum in favor of the socialist government under Pedro Sánchez, partly due to missteps by Feijóo during televised debates and controversies surrounding his past associations.
