Global elections shape the 2026-2027 political landscape
The 2026-2027 political cycle is characterized by a dense global electoral calendar. In Spain, municipal and regional elections are scheduled for late May, with the possibility of general elections depending on government decisions.
Internationally, several major elections are approaching. Brazil is set to hold presidential elections in October, featuring Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Israel will also hold elections in October. In Germany, regional elections in September may see the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) gain power in Saxony-Anhalt for the first time. France is preparing for presidential elections in the spring, where Marine Le Pen will seek office.
Recent political shifts include the removal of Viktor Orbán from power in Hungary, replaced by Péter Magyar.
