A focus on Madrid this week, where a tense election campaign came to an end and the Madrileños casted their vote for a new government. As predicted by the press “Covid lockdown rebel” Isabel Diaz Ayuso celebrated a landslide victory, taking 65 seats, just 4 short of an absolute majority.

Madrid was not the only European region where elections were held. In the UK, the support for the national government was tested on Super Thursday, with the main question being: Is the UK falling apart ?
