Opposition People’s party accuses PM of relying on former Basque terrorist group in effort to cling to power
Spaniards are voting in regional and municipal polls that will serve as a gauge of the political mood ahead of December’s general election, and which come after a bitter and fractious campaign marred by a row over the defunct terrorist organisation Eta and by allegations of electoral fraud.
Sunday’s elections, in which 12 regional governments and 8,000 municipal councils are up for grabs, are likely to be a closely fought race between the governing Spanish Socialist Workers’ party (PSOE) and the opposition conservative People’s party (PP).
