In Spain, a right wing coalition is set to rule country’s most populous region, Andalusia. The conservative Popular Party will rule the region along with the centre-right Citizens Party. Vox, an anti-immigrant party which won seats in Andalusia last year, will not be part of the new government, but has agreed to support the coalition. This ends 37 years of Socialist rule in Andalusia.
Andalusia is the main arrival point in Spain for migrants crossing the Mediterranean. The Popular Party and Citizens Party advocate implementing existing laws on immigration. However, they do not support mass deportations, as advocated earlier by Vox.
