The Spanish Senate has become a focal point for intense political contention as parties vie for control of key appointments. The Senate is responsible for selecting members of institutions like the Constitutional Court, the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ), the Spanish public service broadcaster RTVE, and the Defender of the People (Ombudsman), all requiring reinforced majorities for selection. An attempt by the coalition of the PSOE and Frente Amplio to challenge the PP's absolute majority has unexpectedly encouraged the PP and Vox to explore a collaborative alliance. This potential alliance aims to maintain the existing power balance and prevent the PSOE-Frente Amplio coalition from gaining control. The situation has transformed the Senate into a new arena for electoral battle, marked by efforts to obstruct opponents and secure strategic positions. The upcoming selections promise significant political implications for Spain’s governance.
