Spain prepares for November 29 general elections amid shifting polls

Spain is entering a high-stakes seven-week pre-election period ahead of the general elections scheduled for November 29. Political parties are rapidly finalizing their candidate lists and strategic alliances.

In the Valencian Community, the PSOE has designated Pilar Bernabé to lead its list for the Congress in Valencia, while Toni Francés will head the PSPV list for Alicante. Meanwhile, Compromís is negotiating with Podemos and Esquerra Unida to form a unified Valencian candidacy. In Cuenca, Beatriz Jiménez has stepped down from the PP's congressional list to focus exclusively on her bid for Mayor.

Polling data shows significant shifts in the political landscape. A GESOP survey suggests Vox could see a major surge, potentially obtaining between 68 and 72 deputies, while the PSOE may see a decline. In Murcia, Sigma Dos predicts a PP victory. On the left, the Frente Amplio coalition—comprising Sumar, IU, Más Madrid, and Comuns—is a key focal point, with labor unions UGT and CCOO calling for left-wing unity to address housing and wage concerns. Additionally, the PCE has postponed its XXII Congress to prioritize the upcoming elections and a planned general strike on November 11.
