Sánchez’s team sees campaign gains, but regional PSOE voices urge caution
Pedro Sánchez’s team says the PSOE is gaining ground in the run-up to Spain’s 29 November election.
The party’s campaign has focused on emotional moments and screen appearances, including Sánchez’s appearance on the TV show La Revuelta, which drew more than four million viewers.
PSOE leaders say the approach is helping mobilise left-wing voters and making a comeback seem possible.
Party voices outside Madrid are less convinced, saying the party is more energised than it was two months ago but that enthusiasm is not evident on the street.
The PSOE also argues that the conservative People’s Party’s approach and its closeness to Vox are helping its own prospects.
Rival parties are also using videos and social media to reach voters, including AI-made clips criticising Sánchez.
The campaign is continuing ahead of the 29 November election, but the sources do not say how the parties will fare at the polls.
