Sanchez's Anti-War Stance Boosts Socialists

0:00It's April 6, global news today starts now, AI-powered and worldwide. I'm Cory with the story. Spain's prime minister, Pedro Sanchez, is riding high in the polls thanks to his bold stand against the U.S. Israeli strikes on Iran. His socialist party jumped up to between 27.7 and 28.6 percent support in two new surveys while the far-right. Vox Party, which backs the offensive, slipped to around 17 to 18.7 percent. Sanchez made ways by shutting down Spanish airspace to those U.S. military flights and blocking access to shared bases in the South. He's been one of the loudest western voices calling the war illegal and reckless, setting him apart from allies. Public sentiment backs him big time, with 85 percent of Spaniards rejecting the conflict according to a recent state poll. The conservative People's Party still leads at 31 to 32.5 percent, but they've stayed mostly quiet on criticizing Trump or Israel, just echoing a general no-to-war vibe.

1:05Voters seem to be shifting away from the extremes, flowing into the mainstream parties like the socialist grabbing votes from their hard left, partners, and the People's Party holding off Fox's bleed. Both polls show a right-wing majority could form if elections happen today. With the next vote not until August 20, 27, these numbers sing those Sanchez's anti-war move is reshaping the political beat, keeping. Coalition's front and center in Spain's divided scene.
