Spain’s Ciudadanos Overtakes Socialists Ahead of Debate

 
Reuters, 30/11 13:24 CET

MADRID (Reuters) – Spain’s ruling People’s Party (PP) held on to its lead in an opinion poll three weeks before a national election but new party Ciudadanos overtook the Socialists (PSOE) to move into second place.

The latest poll was published in El Mundo newspaper on Monday ahead of the first live debate by leading candidates.

Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy has declined to participate in the debate, however, leaving the stage to three other leaders – the Socialists’ Pedro Sanchez, Ciudadanos’ Albert Rivera and left-wing Podemos’ Pablo Iglesias.

Rajoy, who has been criticised for not joining the El Pais-sponsored event, will instead take part in a television interview at exactly the same time of 2000 GMT on Monday night.
