Spain

Italy’s interior minister has already passed draconian laws to stop humanitarian rescue ships. If he manages to become prime minister, it will only get worse.

A coalition between Pedro Sánchez’s Socialists and Albert Rivera’s Ciudadanos could prevent a fourth election in as many years—but voters are unlikely to buy it.

The country is set to boast the world’s longest life expectancy by 2040. What are the Spanish doing right?

Spain’s conservatives lost more than half their seats in parliament by trying to outbid the far-right.

The far-right Vox party has adopted Trump-style politics.

The upstart far-right party is unapologetically Islamophobic, but without donations from Iranian exiles, it may have never gotten off the ground.

The country’s agricultural heartland prepares for a possible Vox victory.

The country’s snap election on April 28, its third in five years, may just be the prelude to another down the line.

New leadership in Madrid and Barcelona seemed to offer hope of a resolution to the Catalan secession crisis. But both sides are digging in rather than making compromises.
