Spain’s Frente Amplio targets 10% of vote in November election
Ada Colau’s Frente Amplio is targeting 10% of the vote in Spain’s 29 November general election.
The coalition says it is polling at about 8% and argues that reaching its goal could raise its representation from eight to 22 seats.
It wants to attract progressive voters as the PSOE draws much of that support and the left competes for votes.
Housing is central to Colau’s campaign, alongside reducing inequality and expanding public services.
The coalition proposes measures including taxes on large property owners, limits on tourist rentals and action against speculative property purchases.
A stronger result could give it more influence over housing and tax reforms in a future progressive government, though Colau says the PSOE has held back some changes.
The coalition is campaigning across several regions before the election, with its main rally planned in Barcelona on 21 November.
Frente Amplio, led by Ada Colau, is targeting 10% of the vote in Spain’s general election on 29 November.
The coalition says reaching that level could increase its parliamentary representation from eight seats to 22.
Colau has made the right to housing and action against speculation central to the campaign.
The coalition’s proposals include regulating tourist accommodation, taxing large property owners and expropriating some homes held by investment funds.
It also argues that strengthening the left is needed to advance social reforms and redistribute wealth.
