Sánchez is loved everywhere – but not so much in Spain, say Andalusia’s voters. Can he pull off another comeback? | María Ramírez

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez's center-left PSOE party suffered a significant defeat in Andalusia's regional election, securing only 22.7% of the vote, its worst result since democracy's restoration. This outcome, attributed to local factors and national scandals including investigations into former Prime Minister Zapatero and Sánchez's wife, signals a weakening of Sánchez's position ahead of next year's general election.
