Date: July 23
Location: Spain
Spaniards decide their country's political future. The Spanish general election scheduled for Sunday, 23 July 2023, will determine the composition of the 15th Cortes Generales of the Kingdom of Spain. The election will involve the selection of all 350 seats in the Congress of Deputies and 208 out of 265 seats in the Senate.
Following the November 2019 election, a left-wing coalition between the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) and Unidas Podemos formed the government, marking the first nationwide coalition government in Spain since the era of the Second Spanish Republic. However, the government's tenure was swiftly overshadowed by the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, which had significant political and economic ramifications. These repercussions included the global economic recession resulting from widespread lockdown measures implemented to contain the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, as well as the economic impact of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
