Keys to an electoral campaign: setting the agenda and occupying spaces
There are just under six weeks to go before the Spanish go to the polls in an especially significant election for Spain, a period during which very intense days and much activity on the streets are expected, with the precedent of social tension in France, Italy or Portugal.
Spain is set to hold general elections in six weeks, with the country's main parties intensifying their campaigns. The ruling Socialist Party, led by Pedro Sánchez, is seeking to mobilize voters with a series of social measures, including a decree law on pensions and benefits for women who have suffered gender-based violence. Sánchez has also used emotional appeals, including a public display of affection with his wife, Begoña Gómez, to contrast with the more reserved approach of his main rival, Alberto Núñez Feijóo of the Popular Party.
The elections were called early due to a housing crisis, but the Socialist Party's initial momentum has stalled, and the party is now seeking to win back support.
