¡Hola r/europe!
Today we are having our fourth general election in four years! We thought we could be the new Italy, so our political leaders stopped sending emojis to eachother and they even started to practice ghosting.
Jokes aside, we are voting today until 21:00 CET (20:00 CET in the Peninsula, Baleares, Ceuta and Melilla). The provisional results will be published in this official site from the Ministry of Interior... but you will find them virtually in any Spanish news site.
POLITICAL PARTIES
Five main political parties have presence all over the territory. In order of votes from the last elections (28/04/2019):
- PSOE (Spanish Socialist Worker's Party - Social democracy)
- PP (People's Party - Conservatism, Christian democracy)
- Ciudadanos (Citizens - Liberal democracy)
- Unidas Podemos (United We Can - Left-wing populism, democratic socialism)

I am currently immersed in the multimedia coverage of the Spanish elections. As you can imagine, this is not my first Spanish election night, although I hope it will be my last for a while.
After traveling in many countries as a reporter, from Uganda to Uruguay and specializing in Latin America, I recently realized that you don't have to look far to find exciting stories.
Since landing on Euronews just over two years ago, I've been covering and deciphering the ins and outs of my country's politics for a multilingual audience lost in the whirlwind of news. From the Catalan independence struggle and the motion of non-confidence of the conservative government of Mariano Rajoy, up to the arrival to power of the socialist Pedro Sánchez and the infinite electoral calls.
I recently returned from a trip to Seville and discovered that, after 4 elections in 4 years, the Spaniards are not very enthusiastic about the campaign that is about to end.
As a journalist, and also as a Spanish voter, I am happy to share my insights of going back to the polls and the newsroom on a Sunday night, AMA about Spain next steps!
Edit: After a very long election night, I have to take a break. But I will answer your questions tomorrow, so feel free to ask more!

Having taken Triplebyte’s coding quiz, Harold awaits multiple job offers, leaving plenty of time to contemplate the void.
