Spain's Political Climate Deteriorates Post-Elections

Published: 2024-07-23

A year after Spain's general elections on July 23, 2023, public sentiment reflects widespread dissatisfaction with both the political and economic landscape.

A recent survey indicates that 56% of Spaniards believe the political situation has worsened, while 57% express concerns about the economy.

The government, led by Pedro Sánchez, has struggled to pass significant legislation, focusing primarily on a controversial amnesty law for Catalan separatists, which has deepened political divisions.

Despite some legislative achievements, including laws on gender parity and railway safety, the overall legislative activity has been minimal.

The political climate remains tense, with accusations of corruption and a lack of dialogue between major parties, raising questions about the stability of Sánchez's coalition government as it approaches critical budget negotiations for 2025.
