Spanish election to be held on 20 November
Spanish Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero announced on Friday that a Spanish general election will be held on 20 November. Zapatero had planned to serve out his full term until March 2012, but with the government looking like it may fail to garner enough parliamentary support to pass its next budget, he was forced to call an election. As planned, Alfredo Pérez Rubalcaba will replace Zapatero as leader of the Socialist party in the run up to the election. A recent poll conducted by Metroscopia and published by El Pais on Sunday put the centre-right party Partido Popular, currently in opposition, 14 percentage points ahead of the governing Socialist party with 44.8% of the vote.
