the opposition popular party, once one ofjust two parties who exchanged power here in spain, the popular results, just under 18% of the vote for them. the left—wing parties predicted to get some 16%, while the centre—right citizens party is just under 14.5. but vox, the first hard right party to win any political representation since the death of franco in 1975. there will need to be lots of talk 110w there will need to be lots of talk now about coalition building, but it seems that the impetus is with pedro sanchez for the socialists. let's discuss this with a couple of experts here in madrid, and fuentes, a leading writerfor a newspaper and another journalist a leading writerfor a newspaper and anotherjournalist here. a leading writerfor a newspaper and another journalist here. anna, a leading writerfor a newspaper and anotherjournalist here. anna, a good night for the socialists, but it is not in the back? well, they are moderately optimistic. they are not celebrating yet. yes, compared to ten years ago, they have gone up dramatically and for the popular party, on the country. so we c

congress party is very much part of the or form of government and the former regime say they don't trust the popular congress party the rally that was planned by that party has been canceled by by the security forces they're saying that they're worried violence may erupt and that there would be loss of lives but the popular congress party yesterday had a council meeting a sure council meeting where they were attacked the military council or the military rather had to intervene to try to get them out and they had to use force to get to get the protesters away from the members of the party so there are concerns that people are not ready to accept anything that had to do with the former government or former regime not just members of the former government or former ruling party but even their allies thank you. now for the tenth week in a row the members of the algerian diaspora in france have held protests against algerians ruling elite thousands of people who took to the streets of paris on sunday earlier this month president been aziz but if america gave in to pressure from demonstrators and step dow

the popular party has had its worst election results ever in its history. t as you say, no individual party appears to be able to form its own majority government here. 176 seats needed for that. but the left is edging closer, it seems, with that 50% of the vote counted, and the evening still might have some surprises in store. nonetheless, the socialists, and pedro sanchez, the socialist leader, is celebrating, or certainly, his supporters are. let's go to katie silva, who is at the headquarters 110w. silva, who is at the headquarters now. yes, as you say, only 5096 of the vote is counted, but you can't tell that here. the celebrations are in full swing. up there, we can see the stage. there is a lot of chanting and screaming. people have been screaming slogans. keep going, the fight of the working class. we are here in an area of madrid that is actually one of the richest areas. but this has been the long—term home of paseo, the centre—left long—term home of paseo, the ce ntre—left party. i long—term home of paseo, the centre—left party. i can speak to som

congress party to hold a rally but it's not clear if the popular congress party supporters will still go through with their plans to have a rally on saturday as you heard from my colleague mohamed ajo on saturday they had a sure council meeting and that was attacked by dozens of protesters there saying that they don't want remnants of islamists for them the popular congress party was an ally of president bush's government the founder of the party to robbie who passed away is the person who brought president bashir to power so they have great suspicion about the popular congress party and its political motives and that's what the security forces are trying to avoid a violent. outbreaks of violence between the two sides. will have as mohammad as a civil society activists and director of justice africa that's a human rights advocacy group sudan shouldn't rush to hold elections. i think the main reason why democracy fell from oct nineteenth is four and a bill one thousand and five because there is not enough time for it in we don't actually put the right to be spent

there was a collapse in support for the popular party which took 17% of the popular party which took7% of the vote. meanwhile, the vox party took 2a seats — the first time the far right has entered parliament in spain since the 1970s. our europe editor katya adler is in madrid. spaniards today were on a mission, crowding into polling stations. for them, this is no run—of—the—mill general election. with politics here polarised, today's vote, some here told us, was a fight for spain's soul. i'm nervous, because i want the people i support to win, but at the same time i'm kind of excited. translation: there is so much at stake in spain today, the unity of spain, the integrity of spain, the identity of spain. spain has suffered something of an identity crisis, triggered by the push for catalan independence. sales in spanish flags have shot up here over the last couple of years. now, for the first time since the death of spain's 20th military dictator, francisco franco, a far right party has won seats — a sizeable chunk of them, it seems — in the spanish parliament. vox promises to make s

or popular party spain has long been seen as a country resistant to nationalism with no real swing to extremes since the fall of francisco franco's military dictatorship in the one nine hundred seventy s. . neither the far right vox party like sent to enter parliament for the first time they have been boosted by some voters discontent with the traditional parties but not all. gushy that i don't want a far right i think i voted for the lesser of two evils i'm not really convinced. that there are those that could be the first time that the far right enters the government it seems they'll get in so it will depend on which alliances are struck give us give us so this could be quite a serious change for spain. and if by there the traditional parties will most likely rely on the smaller parties to form a government with at least five in the running talks on any potential coalition could last for weeks if not months with fresh elections one of many possible outcomes. all right following the story for us in madrid is probably fairly early yes probably good to see you voter turnout tu

yesterday on saturday they had their shura council meeting and protesters who regard the popular congress party as remnants of the former government because they were allies of president bashir and his government so protesters attacked the members of the political bureau of the popular congress party yesterday and they had to be removed taken or evacuated from their meeting with help from security and soldiers so there are concerns that those two more that wanted that the popular congress party who wanted to organize will cause violence between the protesters who are in front of the army headquarters and popular congress party supporters so security authorities have rejected that but it's not clear yet if the popular congress party will give it a go regardless of rejection from security authorities or not thank you. we'll have as mohammed is a civil society activist and director of justice africa that's a human rights advocacy group he says sudan shouldn't rush to hold elections. i think the main reason why democracy fell in from october nineteenth is four and a bill one thousand and five becau

of discontent with the popular party. and the demise of the idea of independence of the lumia so i think it's going back to the idea of a centralized spain one that is not about the regional autonomy and that is of course picking up supporters who are not longer. supporting the popular party do they have good solid reasonable economic policies and indeed to be have the same when it comes to a stance on foreign policy or is it just going to be see thirteen fourteen fifteen percent of a protest vote. i think so. there is usually what you see with these parties is that they're the united on their one major headline and in this case is sensor laissez sion of spain i don't think that they have a particularly clear economic policy or any other policy for that matter and this is quite common among those parties so for the time being the party is looking like a protest party how that will evolve if it manages to to enter the spanish parliament that will be a different story that remains to be seen after the election usually such

party now in finland tell me about the party what's it like and how does it compare to other popular parties we've seen gaining power in other european countries well it's actually very similar to many of the parties that we would count us right wing populist it is quite. immigrant it's also has a lot of. what's quite interesting actually is that they have already been in the finnish parliament since two thousand and eleven and they have had a very strong representation there. now also for the first time they were actually complaining with a agenda that has to do with what they call the climate hysteria so they are also taking. something that other parties are having a very well if they they are saying that they want to fight climate change and the finns they they indeed want to stop the climate hysteria and have people come back to things that matter and they're what they say matter most are a lot going on there during this lunch and thank you for that update. thanks very much well the seychelles are one of many countries threatened by rising sea levels it's feared many of its islands could

funnily enough what they're doing in terms of infrastructure in terms of investment is what the popular party was doing and more importantly as the report was saying what they have stopped is the investment in five g. in four g. i think what's that. got amended by the jet just just briefly let me get to that point of high unemployment because spain does have grabbed this predicted grades for this year of two point two percent that's not too bad why does it not work in order to create jobs. well it is i mean spain has been creating five hundred thousand jobs a year. on employment has been slashed since two thousand and twelve and we need to do more but we need to do more correctly work the socialist government has done at the beginning of this year is to massively increase taxes to job creators and massively put burdens to job creation. they have slashed. to employment they have slashed the age to create jobs for women and for. to take people out of temporary ok so all of the. existed they have taken out an office i just preaching has done it like how their economic spokesman and candidate for

we are even i'm not referring to they are popular party either. so we're just looking at some pictures coming to us from madrid and there you can see padre sanchez addressing a crowd of supporters who apparently very excited jubilant they are pleased with the results so far which is in line with expectations before this vote that a socialist party would be the victors that they would be in the lead but that they wouldn't win by enough to be able to govern alone for that they would need a majority of one hundred seventy six seats in the parliament karni there are one hundred twenty three but it is almost certain that they would have to seat allies elsewhere in order to build a coalition government. we have sent. despondence many many messages. we have sent the message of what we do not one with a one reaction we can work with them one on go back we won we won time country that looks forward into the future. were. were were. public is tontine they were pass. they will pass. so we have to send a message clear and serious. to europe and to the world.

so they are concerns from the military council that if the rally that is called for by the popular congress party takes place it will be bloody and that there will be violence so the they called members of the political of the political of the of the popular congress party and are currently in talks with them they're going to try to dissuade them from having that already of course yesterday they had a sure a council meeting and protesters attacked members of the popular congress party some of them were injured and they had to be evacuated out of there with the help from the military so there are concerns from the security forces and from the military council that if they really know if the rally of the popular congress both parties does happen there will be violence and that's one thing they're trying to avoid as they're trying to talk and for in forming a transitional government or road to hear more when they're in khartoum bieber thank you will have his mohammed is a civil society activists and director of justice africa that's a human rights advocacy group. shouldn't rush to hold elections. i

because he's so little known because he's kind of sort of such an extreme right wing party and this is often downplayed by popular will is an extreme right wing party headed by leopoldo lopez who was released today from house arrest and it's not a popular party with the people it has a popular name but it's not popular among the masses of people and this is clearly an example of what used to be called yankee imperialism straight out that the intervention there is being coordinated one hundred percent from washington d.c. military economic political diplomatic. if you heard what our correspondent said. about the u.s. national security advisor john boehner said that venezuela must be run by its own people and not by quote external forces now bearing in mind there's also a statement from the white house that says all options are on the table in venezuela who thinking of their own ways one set of external forces ok another set of external forces not. well bolton is a firm believer in that anachronistic doctrine the monroe doctrine and that is from his point of view. very clearly the united states has the right to int

there has been a collapse in the support for the mainstream right popular party. tics in spain? is it going to drag the right wing parties further to the right? first of all, the mainstream right—wing political party has been trying to attract vox voters and because of this, they have clearly switched to the right. now the next step will be to what extent there is going to be a hard struggle with the three her right—wing political parties and it will be interesting to see. clarify for our audiences around the web, what does the socialist party in spain mean by socialist? i think it's a clear and social democratic party. it has been representing quite well the working class people of this country. it's a party that is more open and friendly to the demands for decentralisation on the side of the catalan and basque nationalists. we have looked at these far right movements in america and europe. the odd thing about vox is that they didn't manage to attract those disillusioned workers on the left who have fallen out with the left and then gone all the way over to the ha

but also a windfall for vox, the hard right party but the biggest losers in this election, the popular partylot of power in this kind of collision to the right they have made. here on the other hand, we are seeing many celebrations. three of the celebrated are david, ruben and irma. i'm loving the way you are carrying your flags. why is this a big celebration for you? because we thought vox was going to get more votes and we are happy because we know spain has chosen, human rights has chosen, political relations have chosen. she feels that the hard right has made them feel like they are inferior. the left ear are feeling a celebration. perhaps the damage caused by the introduction and the seeming popularity of vox wasn't as bad as they had potentially predicted. and you can keep up to date with the post election coalition talks on our website — you'll also find a feature on whether pedro sanchez will be able to form a government — that's all at bbc.com/news. or you can download the bbc news app. to sri lanka now, where people have been marking a week since the bomb attacks which claimed the
