MADRID - Spanish political leaders made a last-ditch appeal to undecided voters on Friday as campaigning closed for a snap election that looks unlikely to resolve the country’s entrenched parliamentary gridlock.
Speaking at a rally in Barcelona, acting Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said a vote for his Socialist Worker’s Party was the only way to end the political paralysis, while putting the brakes on far-right party Vox. This has potentially provided a boost to right-wing parties who take a harder line against separatism, and weighed on the popularity of Sanchez.
At a rally in Madrid, PP leader Pablo Casado emphasized his respect for Ciudadanos and Vox, but called upon former PP voters who have switched their allegiance to return to avoid splitting the conservative vote.
