There is approximately one month left until the elections, and the average for the PP and Vox is situated above 190 seats, comfortably above the 176 that mark an absolute majority: demoscopy predicts a slight fall for the Popular Party, theoretically compensated by the rise of the extreme right. But as also happened in 2023, as the election day approaches, the distance pointed out by the demographic studies is narrowing. Campaigns suit Pedro Sánchez better than Alberto Núñez Feijóo. Do the left—and its sovereignist partners—have room to turn the results around?</p>]]></description>

      <subtitle><![CDATA[The CEO survey asks what the main problems facing Catalans are, and it's worth noting: the first (21%) is access to housing, and immigration is the third (9%). And what's the second? Dissatisfaction with politics (14%). Socialists, Juntos, Izquierda, Comunes, wake up because their lack of solutions, inability to reach agreements, failure to call things by their name, perpetuating problems, and corruption are also sending people to the far right in droves.]]></subtitle>
