The Wall Street Journal devoted an editorial to Spanish politics on Wednesday. The victory of the "center-right in the regional elections" endangers the socialist government.
"Madrid is now a bastion for the center-right Popular Party," says the WSJ. The newspaper notes that the election took place at a time when the ruling left-wing coalition has struggled to raise taxes on the wealthiest. It also refers to the elimination of parental consent to abortion from the age of 16 and that "a sexual consent law defended by the far-left party Podemos" ended up reducing prison sentences.
