Ruling Socialists Suffer Historic Defeat in Extremadura - Spain

The Secretary General of the PP, Miguel Tellado, offers statements to the press during the monitoring of the election night on the occasion of the regional elections in Extremadura, at the national headquarters of the Partido Popular, on December 21, 2025, in Madrid (Spain). Around 891,000 Extremadurians have been summoned today to exercise their right to vote in the elections to the Assembly of Extremadura, called in advance by the President María Guardiola after the breakdown of parliamentary support and the failure in the approval of the Budget. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s embattled Socialists suffered a heavy defeat in Sunday’s regional election in Extremadura, slumping to their worst-ever result as the far-right Vox made strong gains, dealing another blow to the party amid mounting corruption and misconduct allegations.
