In Spain, municipal elections take place this Sunday, May 28. In Barcelona, the left-wing mayor Ada Colau, who is seeking a third term, is neck-and-neck with the socialist Jaume Collboni and conservative nationalist Xavier Trias.

The independence of Catalonia is no longer at the heart of the debates during this campaign. The general elections will take place at the end of the year in the country and for the left, winning Barcelona is a trophy of weight.
