Following the PP's victory in Extremadura's December 21 elections—securing 29 seats but needing Vox's 11 for a majority—acting president María Guardiola contacted Vox leader Óscar Fernández last Tuesday to initiate government formation talks. The brief, cordial call prioritized regional stability over positions, with negotiations hinging on Vox's previously rejected 206-measure document.
Far-right leaders worldwide, including Santiago Abascal, Javier Milei and Alice Weidel, backed Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) Hungary in Budapest. The event precedes the April 12 elections, where Orbán risks losing power after 16 years. Attendees criticized the EU, Ukraine and Pedro Sánchez.
