MADRID: Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez's Socialists were on track to win Sunday's repeat election as first results confirmed a surge in support for the far-right Vox party, which was seen coming third with three-quarters of the votes counted.
The results also showed the rightwing Popular Party coming second with 84, up from 66 in the previous poll. The Oct 14 ruling triggered days of mass protests in Barcelona and other Catalan cities, which by night descended into chaos, with demonstrators torching barricades and hurling rocks and Molotov cocktails at police who hit back with water canon, tear gas and foam bullets.As the crisis gathered pace, Sanchez came under increasingly harsh criticism from the right, particularly from Vox leader Santiago Abascal who demanded Madrid suspend Catalan autonomy and arrest regional president Quim Torra.
"He gets visibility through election debates but the problem is that he uses falsehoods and nobody checks in real-time to see if what he's saying is true or not, so people hear it and believe it is true," she said after casting her ballot for the radical left Podemos. And there is there is a good risk Sunday's vote will only prolong the agony in the eurozone's fourth-largest economy.
