Sánchez urges PP and Vox to accept Spain’s election result

Pedro Sánchez urged his rivals to accept the election result at a campaign rally in Palma, Spain, on Saturday.

Spain’s general election is scheduled for 29 November, and Sánchez is seeking re-election as leader of the PSOE.

He said the PSOE would win and continue governing, while presenting the contest as a choice between his party and the PP and Vox.

Sánchez called for turnout of 75% to help the PSOE win enough seats for a progressive majority.

He also warned against political leaders refusing to accept election results, pointing to past disputes involving Donald Trump and Jair Bolsonaro.

The election on 29 November will decide whether Sánchez’s government continues or a different political direction is chosen.
