The People’s Party (PP) and the far‑right Vox have sealed a new Andalucía deal, widening cooperation in Spain’s most populous region. The pact, which includes a ‘national priority’ policy, moves a countrywide PP‑Vox coalition nearer to fruition.
The PP, which has ruled Andalucía for seven years, lost its absolute majority in the May regional election and turned to Vox to stay in power.
