a new election but also to set up an electoral commission to organize this event i mean correct me if i'm wrong but this certainly seems like the president is backtracking now he had been defending those election results now he's calling for a new election is that true. yeah the opposition didn't the opposition leaders announced that they have not spoken out not yet but here we are in front of the headquarters of the government of ever morale is so we've been talking with deputies of the opposition they have been saying that the on the going to participate in this in this call for fresh elections they are supposed to to choose the new electoral commission and they have been saying to us that they are not going to do that they want the resignation of evermore others they keep firm in this and this they just want us out of power and we are awaiting the announce of

a look at my job he is the leader of the me to see because the this is the they disappear liam's. civil society we has been taking part of this opposition process and he is supposed to talk given the time who opposed this in the election is going to talking about one hour so we don't know exactly what they are going to do is to say but it looks on likely that they want to participate in this for us for elections announced for able to ever mothers and given what you just said i mean do you think that a new election will satisfy the opposition and satisfy the protesters or will we see more protests i don't think so really after the last week they have been asking for the resignation of over others and now it looks looks like we are announcing a for us fresh election i think they want to go. beyond of these and i don't think is going to change the what the opposition have he's been asking for so we have to

wait a little bit to see watch what they announce but it looks really unlikely that they are going to accept this call your honor mir is reporting for us in love pas thank you very much. well in spain citizens are voting today in the 4th election in 4 years opinion polls show prime minister pedro sanchez and his socialist party or end will be in the lead though it's predicted they will not secure a majority the far right box party could double its seeds in parliament after a rise in the last election voter fatigue has set in the midst spain's political paralysis party leaders urged them to turn out for sunday's ballot the 2nd this year the country is deeply divided but one thing voters do seem to agree on is ending the stalemate. so. i really hope that we can end this confusing situation because in the end it will not lead us anywhere i'm sure that you know

there's a high percentage of people who aren't show up to vary it today but i think people just stick to their parties and there might be a major difference in the end the problem is that if they can't agree this time it will be the last time i vote and they also shouldn't be paid any more. the snap election was called after incumbent leader pedro sunshine has failed to form a government with the left wing put they most party but analysts predict the deadlock will only worsen with smaller parties tipped to enter parliament for the 1st time that the far right box party is expected to make gains thanks to their hard line against catalan separatists the crisis was a central issue during campaigning critics of the president say sanchez a stance has been too soft something that could cost him crucial votes. from. of more than election i'm joined by our correspondent lisa lewis she is in

madrid for us now lisa we we heard some of the voters there in that piece i mean it certainly seems like for lections in 4 years is having its toll i mean people seem a bit fed up. well absolutely there's a great sense of value to a city get here in madrid the voters we've been talking to at this polling station in the center of the capital today has been telling us yes i am turning out to vote because it's my obligation as a citizen but i'm really not enthusiastic about it as i really hope that politicians will finally get that together one voter even said you know this is the last time i will vote if they don't manage to try and form a coalition and come back and come together as a stable government however when you look at the participation rate we had 1st because at 2 o'clock in the afternoon there there the rate is at 38 percent that's 3 percent lower than in april this year certainly it's gone down but if you look at

historical data it's not a sharp drop in participation and that means that up until now this situation the ongoing political deadlock doesn't seem to have had a huge impact on participation now we've seen of course those violent protests in barcelona from the pro independence movement what role was is the issue of catalonia playing in this election. well this was actually the only very the only topic in the one week election campaign after the riots broke out in catalonia all the parties were talking about that that issue really divided the country even further with most parties taking a tough stance 1st of all the far right vox party that said that is now saying you know we need to suspend the one of the status and catch i know your other party is saying also we need to crack down on those violent protesters and the socialist party taking a more conciliatory approach because they actually traditionally gained quite high

number of seats in catalonia catalonia the region which relates 48 seats in congress the highest share for one regional and so the socialists want to again parts of that vote but oversee that conciliatory approach has not gone down very well in the rest of spain so polls are indicating that although in the beginning right after interim prime minister pedro sanchez cold snap elections it was thought that he would win more seats than before hand now saying of the saying that he's likely to gain less seats than in april 20th this year or one party that is likely to gain some seats is that far right box why are they resonating so well this time around with voters. well vox is running on an anti immigrant anti feminist approach it's in favor of a strong central state really going back to the spanish nationalists nationalist roots is kind of waking up bad spirits from the past that that apparently was still

there and many people and all saying you know at least there's one party that says out loud what real will think so it's been gaining traction with this message and it remains to be seen if the party will really come 30 in parliament as some polls are predicting now. lisa lewis following data luchon in spain for us thank you very much. our let's check some of the other stories making headlines at this hour former brazilian president lula da silva has rallied supporters a day after being released from jail the sylva criticize current conservative president show your bulls and our o. and said leftist parties could take back the leadership in the country in the 2022 election. police in hong kong fired tear gas to break up anti-government rallies activists were seen blocking roads and vandalizing several sites around the city it's the 24th consecutive weekend of protests in hong kong with demonstrators
