As El Pais, interim president of the Junta de Andalucía and candidate for re-election of the PP, explains: Juan Manuel Morenohave one historical absolute majority for his party in the former socialist fiefdom. The Moreno-led party actually got 58 seats, while Vox’s extreme right got 14, two more than four years ago.
