In Spain, incumbent Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez will retain his position after a general election on Sunday that also saw a far-right party make big gains. Sánchez’s Socialist Workers’ Party won 123 seats, an increase over the last election, but fell short of winning an outright parliamentary majority. The anti-immigrant Vox party, which vowed to “make Spain great again,” won 24 seats. It’s the first time since the Franco dictatorship that a fascist party won more than one seat in Spain’s parliament.
