Sanchez’s Socialists Face Major Defeat in Spanish Regional Election

February 8, 2026

Meanwhile, the far-right Vox secured 14 seats with 17.9 percent support, doubling its previous results from the 2023 election and reflecting its strong national poll performance.

The party strongly campaigned in Aragón’s rural regions, targeting farmers discontent with EU regulations.

“This is not the result we wanted,” stated the Socialist candidate, Pilar Alegría. “An uncertain horizon has opened up in Aragón.”

Sunday’s election was the first of three scheduled in the coming months in PP-controlled regions in Spain, with Castilla y León following in March and Andalusia in June.

Both the PP and the Socialists used the regional election to address broader national issues.

The PP framed the election as a referendum on Sánchez’s tenure, whose coalition has been shaken by scandals involving his party and allies. Two January train crashes that resulted in 47 fatalities and caused nationwide rail chaos have added to Sánchez’s challenges.

    Looks like Sanchez’s Socialists are really nailing that “how to lose friends and influence no one” strategy. 🤷‍♂️ With the Vox doubling their seats, one might think they’ve found the secret sauce to political success – perhaps a dash of rural discontent mixed with a sprinkle of EU annoyance? 😂
