Rare bright spot in #EUpolitics, in a surprise to many #pundits, #Spain's #FarRight #VOXparty lost 19 of their previous 52 seats in an election held last weekend. This leaves country without clear majority, as #Catalonian and #Basque pro-independence #politicalparties hold the balance of #power in a hung #Espana parliament.

Analysis: Spain's Vox party stumbles, testing limits of European far-right advance

The far-right Vox party lost seats in Spain's elections on Sunday, staving off the prospect of a first hardline nationalist-backed government since General Francisco Franco's dictatorship and pointing to limitations in the European far-right's bid for the mainstream.

Spain election: Far-right Vox party on the brink of sharing power

Spain could be about to be governed by a coalition that includes a far-right party for the first time since the Francisco Franco dictatorship ended in 1975, propelled in part by frustration surrounding a drought and the environmental measures that are in place to ameliorate it.
