Vox and the PP continue talks on joint Senate candidacies
Vox and the People's Party are discussing joint Senate candidacies ahead of Spain's November 29 election.
Vox secretary-general Ignacio Garriga said in Zaragoza that the talks are continuing and that there is still time to reach an agreement.
He urged the PP to make a gesture to help close the candidate lists.
Vox could choose not to run in provinces where it believes it has little chance of winning a Senate seat, but Garriga did not confirm whether Huesca or Teruel would be included.
The deadline to submit candidacies is October 26, so the parties have little time to settle the lists.
Garriga said Vox wants to help create a political alternative to the government, and the negotiations are expected to continue before the deadline.
