While more than 3 million people participated in the general strike against the housing crisis, according to the unions, two fatal train accidents, corruption convictions around the government and the influx of immigrants to Sebte increased the government's reactions. While the Socialist Workers Party, which is in the 26-29 percent range in the polls, is having difficulty keeping the left-wing voters together, the inconclusive negotiations between the left-wing parties to create a common election platform also weakens Sanchez's hand. If the current poll table does not change until election day, there is a possibility that the conservative People's Party and Vox will come to power by forming a coalition. The Prime Minister's warnings that the social rights gained in recent years will be in danger if the far-right Vox comes to power are not enough to convince a part of the left-wing voters. Left voters see street protests and social organization, as well as the ballot box, as a solution to achieve radical change in the areas of housing, education and health.
