2:02 pm
a large amount of election fit she spayed because the last elections here where in april now with just 6 months i mean people are called out again faced with the same parties again the same procedure now and the same slogans so what has changed in the meantime and nothing really so you get a strong feeling of that plus the campaign was short it was like luster there were no posters no slogans some realities but really not much because the parties agreed on not spending any money because they thought that it might enraged voters even further what they really want is in end to this ongoing political crisis this is sort of dead end in spanish politics we talked to some people coming out of this polling station here in the center of madrid let's listen in to what they had to say. the same but i really hope that we can end this confusing situation because in the end it will not lead us anywhere in the short term you know where there's

2:05 pm
element of strong nationalism of course there because they are they come coming out the strongest against the cuts alone separatists and they said this really needs to be a reallocated by any means and we are one space and we need to be strong again we need to be proud and very similar to a populist slogan see hearing in other european countries and also this seems to be a sense of some sort of counter revolution really very strong this strongly coming out against women's rights for instance they get support and they say we have pro-family and it is so the scene seems to be is sort of turned back against these social revolution we've seen in spain during the last decade barber available for us in madrid thank you very much. olivia's embattled president abel morales is calling for new elections after a regional election monitor reported irregularities with october's voting results
