Extremadura to Hold Early Elections on December Twenty-First

A snap regional election has been called for Extremadura, after the regional President – Partido Popular’s María Guardiola – announced the collapse of the government over a failure to secure a budget agreement.

Guardiola has blamed both PSOE and Vox for the situation, emphasising the need for a budget to support the region’s economy.

The election is set for the 21st December, with the Assembly of Extremadura being dissolved today.
