  "summary": "Miriam González Durántez, an international trade lawyer and wife of former British Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, has launched a new political party called Democracia 21. Unveiled at a rally in Madrid, the party intends to contest Spain’s November 29 general election. According to Euro Weekly News, González Durántez will lead the party in Madrid and Barcelona.\n\nDemocracia 21 is positioning itself as an alternative to the political confrontation between Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s Socialist Party (PSOE) and the conservative People’s Party (PP). Euro Weekly News reports that González Durántez has criticized both major sides, arguing for better public institutions, greater accountability, and increased cooperation between parties. The party aims to attract moderate voters who are dissatisfied with established groups but do not feel represented by the traditional left or Vox.",
