6:05 pm
to come to these places the palace of the government the headquarters of the government he's going to come here to give him a letter of course everybody is not here but this is symbolic but so that's to say that the opposition is very very radical in this moment on day one just everyone is out of power. of amir of. bolivia thank you. meanwhile spade is in the midst of a rerun election its 4th in 4 years opinion polls show the socialist party of prime minister peter sanchez in the lead though it's thought they will not secure a majority the far right vox party is expected to double its seats in parliament after a surge in support in the last election in april 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. that i really hope we can end this
6:06 pm
confusing situation because in the end it will not lead us anywhere assured them you know there's a high percentage of people who aren't sure up to very today but i think people just stick to their parties and there might be a major difference in the end of what they've got 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 sanchez failed to form a government with the left wing put the most party but analysts predict the deadlock will only worsen with smaller parties tipped to enter parliament for the 1st time. 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 the stance has been too soft something that could cost him crucial votes. from

straight to stay in ben straight to madrid where we joined the w correspondent lisa lewis welcome so we're touched on the very idea of voter fatigue in in that report there what sort of turn out to you see. well here at the poles this polling station in the center of madrid we've seen quite a few people turn up today however they were hardly enthusiastic about these elections many people telling us you know i know it's my obligation as a citizen to vote however i really i really hope that the pulitzer will now finally get their act together and form a government one lady told me that she was casting a blank page because she was really disappointed she got an embarrassment for spain that the politicians couldn't get their act together and form a government when you look at the figures we had 1st participation figures at 2 o'clock this afternoon that about 38 percent that's 3 points down from the
6:08 pm
elections in this april but it's not a historically low result really if you look back over the past 2 years actually for example higher than in 2016 so it doesn't look like this the voter fatigue at least as far as we can tell and tell until now has really had a huge impact own voter participation today and one of the country's biggest political issues of course is the catalonia drive for independence how about play out income. well that was the one big topping topic during this one week election campaign especially after these riots broke up broke out in the region and all the parties were talking about that most of the parties were saying we need to crack down on independent supporters on these rioters and catalonia and the socialists taking a somehow more conciliatory approach because the socialist party. normally gets
6:09 pm
quite a number of seats in catalonia catalonia the region which elects 48 members of parliament the highest share for one region in spain so the socialists were trying to get the heisman. that however that stance hasn't gone down that well in the rest of the country and polls are showing that after that there are their seats they were predicted to get runs actually down and now predicted to get probably even less seats than doing the actions in a few of the sea and that was certainly not the idea that prime minister interim prime minister pedro sanchez had in mind when he called snap elections a few weeks back ok so people are going to be looking at the socialist someone side but also vox is making a lot of headlines explain to us who they are and why you very have seen this surge in support. yes this is a far right party that is running on an anti immigrant anti famine his stance there

peeling to this old feeling of nationalism here in spain saying you know we have to be proud to be spanish flanks be proud of that and have a sneak and strong central state that's obviously really playing to the hands of those who are against catalonian independence and it seems like this is going down quite well with the voters polls are predicting that the far right party could indeed come 3rd in these elections compared to its 5th position last time around he's a loose in madrid thank you. we'll take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world police in hong kong fired tear gas to break in and detachment demonstrations activists were seen blocking roads and vandalizing sites around the city this is the 24th consecutive weekend of protest demonstrations calling for democratic reforms and the inquiry
