The PSOE is grappling with severe electoral setbacks, especially in Aragon, where Vox has made significant inroads into the socialist electorate, causing concerns for the stability of the current political agenda under Pedro Sánchez. The situation reflects a broader trend of the far-right party gaining traction and threatening the PSOE's traditional voter base. Politicians within the party are pointing fingers at the opposition leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo, claiming he is inadvertently empowering radical elements in the political landscape.

Initially, Sánchez had attempted to create a protective 'wall' against the rise of the far-right, likening it to a defensive strategy seen in fictional narratives like 'Game of Thrones'. He had believed that a coalition government of progressive forces would effectively guard against the threat posed by Vox. However, as the electoral reality unfolds, cracks in that wall are becoming apparent, indicating that the coalition's approach may not be sufficient to maintain dominance in local and regional politics.

As Vox continues to thrive at the expense of PSOE, the implications for the Spanish political landscape are serious. Local municipalities that were once under socialist control are now swinging towards far-right ideologies, raising alarms about policy shifts and the potential for increased polarization in Spanish society. The fallout from Aragon might serve as a wake-up call for the PSOE as they reassess their strategies to retain power amidst rising populist sentiments.
