08.30: The keys of 10-N

Violent demonstrations in Catalonia, the exhumation of the remains of Francisco Franco, the strength of Vox, fragmentation and political instability ... These are the keys to this Sunday's elections, the fourth in four years.

Keys

• Catalonia

After years of presuming its peaceful character, Catalan separatism has undergone a turn with the riots in Barcelona and other cities, after the Supreme Court issued the procés sentence.

• Vox factor

The instability in Catalonia has, according to the polls, a beneficiary: the extreme right-wing party, Vox, which entered the lower house of Parliament with 24 deputies, out of a total of 350, and which the polls place as third political force.

• Frank

Sanchez was somewhat noted when he exhumed the remains of the dictator Francisco Franco of the Valley of the Fallen, the mausoleum where he rested since his death in 1975, to re-smoke them in a discreet pantheon of the family. However, Fernando Vallespín, political scientist and former president of the Center for Sociological Research (CIS, public), believes that it will not weigh only in the elections and therefore "will not have the effect that the government, optimistically, thought it would have ".

• Fragmentation

The traditional PP-PSOE bipartisanship flew through the air in 2015, and since then the fragmentation has only accentuated. In the conservative field three parties concur: Citizens, Vox, and a PP in strong ascent that according to Vallespín has the "possibility of having the useful vote of the right", strengthened in general by the crisis in Catalonia.

• Instability

With the Spanish policy immersed in a logic of blocks, the surveys predict the risk of a new situation of paralysis, in which neither PSOE, Podemos and Más País would add, on the one hand, nor PP, Citizens and Vox, on the other.

08.15: Sánchez e Iglesias, the early risers

The candidates of the PSOE, Pedro Sánchez , and of Podemos Podemos, Pablo Iglesias , will be the earliest at the time of voting, as they have announced that they will exercise their right to vote at 9.30 am in the morning. At that time, the socialist leader and president of the acting Government plans to deposit his ballots at the Volturno Cultural Center of the Madrid town of Pozuelo de Alarcón, the same place where he will do it an hour later, at 10.30, the president of Citizens, Albert Rivera .

At the same time that Sánchez, the leader of Podemos, Pablo Iglesias, will cast his vote at the Public School La Navata (Galapagar, Madrid), while the PP candidate, Pablo Casado , will vote at 10.00 at the Colegio Nuestra Señora del Pilar , from Madrid.

For his part, the president of Vox, Santiago Abascal , will do so at 1:00 p.m. at the Colegio Pinar del Rey , also in the capital of Madrid, and the leader of Más País, Íñigo Errejón , at 10:30 at the Colegio Santa Teresa de Jesus of Madrid.
